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 Taiga Kendall GM Weekend Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 57 x 36 x 25 cm, this is a spacious structured weekender that can usually hold clothing for a 2–3 day trip, a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag, and everyday essentials such as chargers or documents. Capacity will vary depending on how you pack, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for the most accurate guide.
Q: Is the Kendall GM suitable as carry-on luggage? A: It is close to typical cabin-bag sizing, but this piece measures about 57 cm in width, so it may be slightly over the limit for some airlines. Some carriers allow up to 56 x 45 x 25 cm, while others are stricter, so we recommend checking your airline’s current allowance before travelling.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: Yes. This specific item includes a detachable adjustable shoulder strap as well as a name tag. It can be carried by hand using the dual rolled leather handles or worn over the shoulder for added comfort.
Q: What is Taiga leather, and is it durable? A: Taiga is Louis Vuitton’s finely grained textured leather, known for its smart, understated look and practical durability. It is generally considered more resistant to everyday wear than smoother leathers, and its texture can help disguise minor signs of use, although creasing and surface marks can still develop over time.
Q: How should I care for vintage Taiga leather? A: Wipe the surface gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, solvents, or heavy leather treatments. Try not to overfill the bag, and store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag or ventilated space away from direct sunlight, humidity, and strong heat. If it gets wet, blot it gently and let it dry naturally.
Q: What does the date code SP0957 mean? A: The code indicates production in France, and under Louis Vuitton’s pre-2007 date-code format it corresponds to May 1997. Please note that a date code gives production information, but it should not be treated as a standalone proof of authenticity.
Q: What condition is this specific bag in? A: This bag is listed in Very Good condition overall. The exterior shows light traces of use with slight marks, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware has scratches and tarnishing. As with most vintage Louis Vuitton travel bags, gentle wear is normal and part of the piece’s character.
Q: What are the key design details of this bag? A: This piece is crafted in burgundy Taiga leather with brass hardware, dual rolled leather handles, a detachable flat shoulder strap, a tonal suede lining, and a two-way zip closure. The structured silhouette gives it a refined travel look that works well for weekends away or smart everyday use.
