Perfect for busy days in the city, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Multiple Cite GM keeps essentials organised with its roomy interior and handy exterior pockets. Carry it on the shoulder for commuting, school runs, or weekend shopping; the timeless monogram and gold-tone accents elevate casual looks and smart separates alike.
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 dimensions and how much does it hold? A: The bag is approximately 37 × 26 × 11 cm. It comfortably fits daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, a small water bottle, cosmetics pouch, and a notebook. It also takes A4 documents and a slim 13-inch laptop; some 14–15 inch models may fit depending on their footprint and case thickness—compare your device to the bag’s measurements for certainty.
Q: Is it designed for shoulder carry or crossbody? A: This model is a shoulder bag with dual adjustable straps. The drop is about 18 cm, which sits neatly under the arm and over light outerwear. It is not intended for crossbody wear.
Q: How are the external pockets arranged and what are they useful for? A: This Multiple Cité configuration features three exterior pockets for quick-access items. They are ideal for things like a phone, travel card, or keys you want to reach without opening the main compartment.
Q: What is the interior like? A: It has a red Alcantara (microfibre) lining with practical interior pockets to keep smaller items organised. The top zip closure secures the main compartment.
Q: Is this a current Louis Vuitton style? A: This is a vintage, archival Cité family style from the early 2000s that is no longer part of the current main collection. Availability today is primarily through trusted pre-owned specialists like A Retro Tale.
Q: Will a laptop fit through the zip opening? A: Most 13-inch laptops and tablets slide in horizontally without issue. For larger devices, clearance depends on the corner radius and sleeve thickness; if your device is close to the width, angle it slightly when inserting.
Q: What materials is it made from and how durable is it? A: The exterior is Louis Vuitton Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim and gold-tone hardware. The canvas is hard-wearing and wipe-clean; Vachetta is untreated, developing a honey patina over time and showing water marks if exposed to moisture.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta and canvas on a vintage piece? A: Keep Vachetta dry and avoid rain or oils. If it gets damp, blot gently and air dry away from heat. Clean canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild, pH‑neutral soap only if needed. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Where can I find the date code on this model? A: On vintage Louis Vuitton with Alcantara lining, the date code is typically stamped directly on the lining or on a small leather tab along an interior seam or under a pocket. Codes can lighten with age and may be hard to read; authenticity is assessed holistically by our experts, not by a code alone.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: This listing includes the bag only. Everything included is listed under product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not mentioned there, it is not included—contact us if you would like us to confirm.
