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 size laptop fits inside this case? A: This case is listed as a 16-inch size and measures approximately 37 x 26 x 1 cm. It should suit many slim 15-inch to 16-inch laptops, but the best way to confirm fit is to compare your laptop’s actual width, height and thickness with the measurements shown here, as screen size alone can be misleading.
Q: Is this laptop case padded? A: It has a slim, streamlined construction rather than a bulky padded build. It is ideal for light everyday protection from surface wear and for keeping your laptop neatly stored, but for stronger impact protection it is best carried inside a larger bag when commuting or travelling.
Q: What can I carry inside besides a laptop? A: Along with a slim laptop, this case can hold documents, papers, a tablet or other flat essentials. It also has one internal pocket for smaller slim items. Because the depth is only around 1 cm, bulky chargers or thicker items may not fit comfortably.
Q: Does this piece have handles or a shoulder strap? A: No. This is a minimalist zip laptop case with no listed handles or shoulder strap, so it is designed to be carried by hand or slipped inside a tote, briefcase or suitcase.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information states that no additional items are included with this piece.
Q: What condition is it in? A: The exterior and interior are both noted as very good with light traces of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. Overall, it presents as a well-kept vintage piece with gentle signs of previous wear.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas? A: Clean the coated canvas gently with a soft damp cloth and, if needed, a little mild soapy water. Avoid harsh cleaners, oils, perfume and excessive heat, and do not overfill the case. When not in use, store it in a breathable place away from direct sunlight.
Q: What does the date code TY0241 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes are used to indicate production details and can help with age and origin checks. On later pieces, the numeric format is typically used to show production timing, while the letters indicate a factory reference. A date code is useful, but it should never be relied on as the sole proof of authenticity.
Q: Is this a good option for daily work or travel? A: Yes. Its slim profile, zip closure and classic Monogram canvas make it a refined choice for carrying a laptop and documents for work, meetings or travel. It is especially well suited to those who want a polished vintage look without the bulk of a full briefcase.
Q: How is authenticity checked on a vintage Louis Vuitton item like this? A: Proper authentication should consider the full item, including materials, construction, stitching, hardware, interior details, stamps and date code consistency. Date codes are only one part of that process, which is why expert review is important when buying vintage luxury pieces.
