Perfect for weekend getaways and business trips, the Louis Vuitton Pégase 55 brings timeless monogram style to your journey. From airport check-in to hotel lobby, this classic travel companion keeps your look polished on short-haul escapes and city breaks.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: Is the Pégase 55 cabin-compliant?
A: With dimensions of approximately 55 × 38 × 19 cm, the Pégase 55 is designed to meet carry-on limits for many airlines. Policies vary by carrier and aircraft, so please check your specific airline, especially for smaller regional flights.
Q: What typically fits inside this size?
A: It comfortably holds a long weekend’s wardrobe: 2–4 outfits, a pair of shoes, toiletries, and travel tech. The exterior zipped pocket is handy for documents and slim devices; consider a protective sleeve for laptops/tablets and avoid overfilling to maintain cabin size.
Q: Does it have two or four wheels, and how does it compare to Horizon 55?
A: The classic Pégase is a two‑wheel upright designed to roll smoothly behind you and sit stable when standing. Louis Vuitton’s Horizon line is a four‑wheel spinner that glides at your side; choosing between them is a matter of preference for terrain and manoeuvrability.
Q: How much does it weigh?
A: Weight varies slightly by production year and lining, but many Pégase 55 cases are around 3.5–4.0 kg (about 7.7–8.8 lb). As this is a vintage piece, expect minor variation versus newer iterations.
Q: Does this piece come with a lock, keys, or garment cover?
A: This listing includes only what is stated under Accessories. For this piece, a luggage strap is included. Some Pégase versions were originally sold with a padlock/keys or garment cover, but if an item isn’t listed, it is not included.
Q: Is the front pocket suitable for a laptop?
A: The pocket is ideal for travel documents and slim electronics. Fit depends on your device’s size; we recommend using a padded sleeve and not overstuffing to protect the device and preserve the case’s shape.
Q: Where do I find the date code, and how is authenticity handled?
A: Earlier Pégase cases typically have a date code stamped discreetly inside; from March 2021 onward, Louis Vuitton transitioned to embedded microchips instead of printed date codes. Date codes alone do not authenticate an item. Every piece at A Retro Tale is vetted by our experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware.
Q: Can the wheels or telescopic handle be repaired or replaced?
A: Yes—Louis Vuitton boutiques can arrange assessments and repairs where parts are available. Competent luggage specialists can also service wheel assemblies and handles. Feasibility and cost depend on age, wear and parts availability; we recommend an evaluation before travel.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather?
A: Wipe coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep Vachetta leather away from moisture and oils; it will naturally develop a honey patina and can show watermarks. Avoid alcohol‑based wipes, strong cleaners and prolonged sun/heat. Store loosely stuffed in a cool, dry place to maintain shape, and periodically clean the wheels and guards with a damp cloth.
