Please compare the Measurements on this page with your own essentials for the best guide.

Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder?
A: Yes. The Flower Hobo is designed as a shoulder bag with a single flat strap. On this piece, the strap measurement is approximately 26 cm, which generally gives a comfortable shoulder drop rather than a crossbody fit.

Q: Does the Flower Hobo close securely?
A: The design features a front flower lock detail and a top closure rather than a full zip-top opening. It is intended to keep daily essentials neatly contained, but like many structured hobos it tends to sit and close best when it is not overfilled.

Q: What materials and interior does this bag have?
A: This example is crafted in Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas with bordeaux leather trim and brass hardware. Inside, it has a bordeaux microfiber lining with an internal zip pocket for smaller essentials.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This bag comes with the padlock, keys and clochette listed in the product information. If a dust bag, box or any other item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.

Q: What does the date code FO4198 mean?
A: FO4198 follows Louis Vuitton's date code format used before the brand moved to microchips. It indicates production in France during the 49th week of 2018. Date codes help identify when a bag was made, but they are not unique serial numbers and should not be used on their own to confirm authenticity.

Q: What condition is this particular bag in?
A: It is listed in Very Good condition, with light traces of use to the exterior and interior. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle previous wear.

Q: Is the Flower Hobo a good everyday bag?
A: Yes, it is generally considered a practical everyday style thanks to its roomy shape, structured silhouette and coated canvas body. Buyers often choose it for daily essentials, while keeping in mind that the folded corner construction can show wear over time on pre-owned examples.

Q: How should I care for a vintage Flower Hobo?
A: Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Keep the leather trim away from heavy rain, oils and prolonged heat, and store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
