Very Good Condition
Perfect for brunches, gallery hops or dinner dates, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Cluny BB elevates every outing. Crafted in monogram coated canvas with a vachetta leather top handle, gold-tone hardware and a detachable two-tone shoulder strap, it secures with a magnetic flap. A pink textile-lined interior with pockets keeps essentials organised. In very good condition, it adds refined LV charm to smart-casual and evening looks.
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 Cluny BB? A: Despite its compact "BB" title, this bag is surprisingly spacious and functions more like a small-to-medium everyday bag. It comfortably holds a large smartphone (such as an iPhone Pro Max), a continental wallet, keys, a cosmetics pouch, sunglasses in a soft case, and even a small water bottle or A5 notebook. The structured shape keeps contents tidy, though using a large wallet may limit space in the flat pockets.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: The two-tone leather strap is detachable but not adjustable. With a strap drop of approximately 55 cm, it is designed to sit comfortably as a crossbody or long shoulder bag for most wearers. You can also remove the strap to carry the bag by the top handle for a more formal, ladylike look.
Q: How secure is the magnetic closure? A: The Cluny BB features a magnetic flap closure known for being quite strong, which keeps the flap securely shut during use. While this offers convenient access, you may need to guide the flap slightly to ensure the magnet aligns perfectly. For securing valuables, we recommend using the large interior zipped pocket.
Q: What is the interior layout of this model? A: The interior is lined in textile (often a contrasting colour like pink on Monogram models) and features a smart organisation system: one main compartment, a large zipped pocket, and two flat slip pockets on the opposite side. This layout helps separate smaller essentials like your phone or cardholder from the main storage area.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta handle? A: The Monogram coated canvas is highly durable and water-resistant; simply wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. However, the top handle is crafted from natural Vachetta leather, which will develop a honey-coloured patina over time and is sensitive to water and oils. Avoid contact with hand creams, rain, or sanitiser on the handle to prevent spotting. The coloured leather shoulder strap is treated and more resistant to wear.
Q: Does the bag keep its shape well? A: Yes, the Cluny BB is a structured bag with a reinforced base and four metal bottom studs. It maintains its silhouette well when empty. To preserve its shape long-term, we recommend storing it upright with stuffing inside to prevent any deformation of the side gussets or flap.
Q: Where can I find the date code on this bag? A: On the Cluny BB, the date code is typically located inside one of the flat slip pockets or occasionally stamped along a seam inside the zipped compartment. This specific piece features the date code DU0128, indicating it was manufactured in France in early 2018.
Q: What accessories are included with this specific piece? A: This item includes the detachable shoulder strap and the hanging clochette. Any included items are listed under the "Accessories" section of the product details; if an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous multi-point authentication process by our in-house experts. We examine materials, stitching, hardware weight and finish, typography, and the date code to ensure the bag is a genuine Louis Vuitton product. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
