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 Louis Vuitton Monogram Trotteur Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 25 x 13 x 7 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, cardholder or small wallet, keys, sunglasses and a few cosmetics. It is a compact bag rather than a large day bag, so bulkier items like a tablet, water bottle or large purse are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Can the Trotteur be worn crossbody? A: The Trotteur is known for its long flat strap and is commonly worn on the shoulder or crossbody. The exact fit depends on your height and how this particular vintage strap sits on the body, so please use the strap measurement shown on this page as your best guide.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: This piece features Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas with vachetta leather trim, brass hardware and a brown textile lining with one internal pocket. It closes with a top zip for secure everyday use.
Q: Is Monogram canvas durable for daily use? A: Yes, Monogram canvas is generally appreciated for being lightweight and hard-wearing, which is one reason vintage Louis Vuitton bags remain so popular. The part that needs the most care is the natural vachetta leather trim, which is more sensitive to rain, oils and scuffing and naturally deepens in colour over time.
Q: What should I know about the vachetta patina and watermarks on this bag? A: This bag is in good vintage condition, and the listing notes a visible patina with watermarks and scuffing on the base and trim. That kind of ageing is common on older Louis Vuitton pieces with untreated vachetta and is part of the character of a pre-loved bag.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Louis Vuitton bag? A: Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid soaking the leather trim, and keep it away from prolonged rain, heat and direct sunlight. When not in use, store it lightly stuffed in a breathable storage bag or cupboard space so it can better hold its shape. Because this piece already shows patina and watermarks, aggressive cleaning is best avoided.
Q: What does the date code AR0081 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period use two letters for the factory location and four digits for the production week and year. AR indicates France, and 0081 reads as the 8th week of 2001. A date code is useful product information, but it should not be used as the only proof of authenticity.
Q: Is the Trotteur a vintage or discontinued Louis Vuitton style? A: The Trotteur is generally found on the pre-loved market rather than as a current boutique style, which is why vintage examples remain sought after. Minor detail variations can appear between production years.
Q: Does this bag come with any additional items? A: No additional items are listed with this piece. If anything extra were included, it would normally be noted in the product information on this page.
