Ideal for weekend city breaks, day trips or hands-free commuting, this vintage Louis Vuitton Randonnée GM in Monogram coated canvas with Vachetta leather trim blends practicality and iconic style. A drawstring closure and adjustable shoulder straps keep essentials secure and comfortable, while the roomy interior suits daily carry, a gym kit, or use as hand luggage.
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: What typically fits inside the Randonnée GM? A: With approximate dimensions 45 × 32 × 18 cm, it comfortably holds daily or weekend essentials such as a jumper, toiletry pouch, A4 documents, and a 13-inch laptop. Slim 15-inch models may fit vertically; please compare your device to the measurements and consider the narrower drawstring opening.
Q: How is the Randonnée GM worn? A: The dual adjustable shoulder straps are designed for backpack carry, and many owners also wear it over one shoulder. Use the buckles to fine-tune the drop for comfort and stability.
Q: How secure is the drawstring closure, and can it be replaced? A: The leather drawstring cinches the top for a secure closure when properly tightened. As Vachetta ages it can dry or crack; replacement is possible via Louis Vuitton repair services subject to assessment, or through qualified leather specialists. Avoid over-tightening to minimise stress on the leather.
Q: Is the monogram canvas water-resistant? A: Louis Vuitton’s coated monogram canvas is durable and can be gently wiped with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Do not use oils, solvents, or harsh chemicals, and keep the bag away from excessive heat. Note that the natural Vachetta leather trim is not water-resistant and can spot with rain.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather? A: Handle with clean, dry hands; keep away from moisture; allow the natural honey patina to develop. For cleaning, use gentle specialist leather care and avoid alcohol or alkaline products. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Q: Will the Vachetta leather darken over time? A: Yes. Vachetta is untreated, vegetable‑tanned leather that naturally develops a honey patina with exposure to light and natural oils. This is normal and prized on vintage Louis Vuitton pieces.
Q: Does it fit a laptop? A: Most 13-inch laptops fit comfortably. Slim 15-inch laptops may fit vertically; thicker protective cases can make the fit tight. Because drawstring bags have a narrower opening, please check both your device and case dimensions against the measurements.
Q: What does the code A20954 mean? A: Louis Vuitton codes are production date codes rather than unique serial numbers. Vintage formats vary by era and factory, so a code like A20954 can help indicate when and where the item was made but cannot authenticate the bag on its own. We rely on multi‑point checks across materials, stitching, stamps and hardware.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, a name tag is included. Items such as a dust bag, padlock or pouch are only included if they appear in the product information.
Q: Can this piece be serviced by Louis Vuitton? A: Louis Vuitton boutiques may accept vintage items for repair after assessment. Availability of parts for discontinued models varies by region and condition. If an atelier repair is not possible, a trusted leather specialist can provide high‑quality maintenance or component replacement.
