Very Good Condition
Perfect for busy days in the city, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Cluny MM moves seamlessly from office hours to dinner. Team it with a blazer for meetings or with denim at the weekend—an effortless choice for commutes, lunches and gallery visits.
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 MM? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 25 × 12 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch and travel documents. A slim 500 ml bottle can fit, though we recommend keeping the bag upright to maintain its shape.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? What about A4 documents? A: An 11-inch tablet generally fits; some slim 12-inch tablets may fit depending on the case. A4 paper or a slim document folder can slide in horizontally, but rigid A4 binders are usually too tall for the flap. 13-inch laptops are not recommended for the MM size.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes—the shoulder strap is detachable and adjustable, with an approximate 40 cm drop as listed. This suits shoulder carry and may wear as a high crossbody on some users; for most, it’s best as a shoulder strap. The top handle (about 11 cm drop) is ideal for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Cluny MM features a magnetic flap closure for easy yet secure access. Inside, there’s a brown textile lining with organisational pockets, and there’s also an exterior slip pocket for quick‑reach items. Please check our listing photos for the exact pocket configuration of this piece.
Q: What materials and hardware does this bag have, and where is it made? A: This piece is crafted in Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim, finished with gold‑tone hardware and a brown textile lining. The brand stamp indicates Spain as the country of origin.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and coated canvas? A: Keep Vachetta away from water, oils and prolonged sunlight to minimise marks; it will naturally develop a honey patina over time. If lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Wipe coated canvas with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and be mindful of potential colour transfer from dark denim onto the leather trim and strap.
Q: Will the Vachetta leather darken (patina) and how can I protect the handle? A: Yes—untreated Vachetta starts pale and gradually deepens to a warm honey tone with exposure to light and natural oils. Many owners use a silk scarf/bandeau or handle cover to reduce direct contact and help minimise marks on the top handle.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and what does this bag’s code mean? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags have an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” and country of origin). Older pieces include a date code on a small leather tab or seam; from around 2021, LV transitioned to an embedded microchip instead of a visible code. This item shows “CA 0169”: “CA” indicates a Spanish workshop, and “0169” corresponds to the 6th week of 2019.
Q: Is the Cluny MM heavy? How does it carry day to day? A: Thanks to the coated canvas body, the Cluny MM is relatively lightweight for a structured bag. The flat base helps it stand upright at a desk or table, and the wide strap distributes weight comfortably for daily wear.
Q: What accessories are included with this specific piece and how do you authenticate? A: For this item, we include a detachable shoulder strap and a luggage tag as listed under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date code/microchip; we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
