Ideal for the weekday commute and client meetings, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Macassar Soufflot MM adds refined polish to tailored looks. With a spacious profile for daily essentials, it transitions effortlessly from desk to dinner and suits smart-casual events, city travel and back-to-office wardrobes.
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 are the measurements and what typically fits inside? A: This Soufflot MM measures approximately 34 × 24 × 13 cm with a 10 cm handle drop and an adjustable strap of about 45 cm. It comfortably carries daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, a small water bottle, make-up pouch, and a diary. The structured shape keeps items organised for office or city use.
Q: Will it fit a 13-inch laptop or A4 documents? A: Yes. With a width of around 34 cm and height of 24 cm, most 13-inch laptops in a slim sleeve and A4 documents fit horizontally. For thicker devices or cases, allow a little margin for the zip curve and interior pockets.
Q: Is the strap long enough for crossbody wear? A: The bag includes a detachable, adjustable strap with an approximate drop of 45 cm, which works as a shoulder or short crossbody on many builds. Typical M44817 straps are around 83–93 cm in total length; taller frames may prefer it on the shoulder or high crossbody.
Q: What does Monogram Macassar mean? A: Monogram Macassar pairs Louis Vuitton’s classic Monogram canvas with black leather trim for a modern, often more unisex look. Hardware tone can vary by season; this piece features gold-toned hardware as listed.
Q: How does this Soufflot MM close and what is the interior like? A: This specific item has a top zip closure and a black microfibre-lined interior with slip pockets for easy organisation. Note that Soufflot MM configurations can vary by season; some editions feature an open top with a central zipped compartment.
Q: Does the bag stand up on its own and does it have feet? A: Yes. The Soufflot MM is structured and this piece has protective base studs, helping it stand upright and reducing wear on the corners.
Q: How should I care for Monogram Macassar canvas and black leather trim? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep the black leather trim away from moisture, oils and colour-transfer risk; use a dry, soft cloth only. Store the bag lightly filled in its dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve the colour and shape.
Q: What does the date code CA0261 indicate? A: CA denotes a Spanish workshop and 0261 indicates production in the 6th week of 2021. Louis Vuitton began phasing out visible date codes in 2021 in favour of internal microchips, so pieces from that period may have a code, a chip, or both. Date codes are not unique serial numbers and are only one element of authentication.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing includes the box, dust bag, detachable shoulder strap and a luggage tag. Anything not listed is not included.
Q: Is the Soufflot MM suitable for both men and women and for work or travel? A: Absolutely. The Monogram Macassar finish and versatile carry options make it a stylish unisex choice. Its size, structure and secure zip closure suit office commutes and city travel alike.
