Very Good Condition
A chic choice for busy city days, this Louis Vuitton Multipli-Cite slips seamlessly from office to lunch and school runs, with its multiple pockets keeping essentials organised. The classic Monogram lends timeless polish for travel, meetings or weekend outings, all carried comfortably on the shoulder.
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 Monogram Multipli‑Cité Shoulder Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 26 × 36 × 11 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, cosmetics pouch, small water bottle, and an A5 diary/tablet. A4 documents usually fit when placed horizontally; a 13‑inch laptop is generally too tall/tight at the zip opening. Compare your items with the Measurements shown or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: Compact tablets (e.g., iPad, iPad Air/11‑inch class) typically fit. A 13‑inch laptop can be a squeeze due to the 26 cm height and the curved zip opening; slim devices may slide in horizontally but won’t be a comfortable everyday fit. We’re happy to test a specific device size for you.
Q: Are the straps adjustable, and can I wear it crossbody? A: The Multipli‑Cité is designed for shoulder carry with dual buckled straps that offer limited adjustability; it isn’t intended for crossbody wear. For this piece, the strap/handle drop is approximately 20 cm, noted under Measurements.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: It features a zip‑top main compartment for everyday security, three exterior flap pockets (commonly with magnetic snaps) for quick‑access items, and a red Alcantara‑lined interior with two slip pockets for organisation.
Q: What materials and hardware does this model have? A: The bag is crafted in Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim, gold‑tone/brass hardware, and a red Alcantara lining. This example is labelled Made in France.
Q: Is the Multipli‑Cité still produced? A: It’s widely regarded as a discontinued Louis Vuitton model and is most commonly sourced on the pre‑loved market.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and coated canvas? A: Vachetta is untreated, vegetable‑tanned leather that develops a patina and is sensitive to water and oils. Avoid heavy rain and colour transfer from dark fabrics; wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and condition sparingly with a suitable neutral product after testing on a discreet area. The coated canvas can be wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dried immediately. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid prolonged contact between straps and canvas to prevent imprints.
Q: How do I care for the Alcantara lining? A: Lightly brush to lift fibres and remove dust; for small marks use a mild soap solution applied sparingly to a soft cloth, blot (don’t rub), and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Avoid soaking the material.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags have an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” and the country of origin). Older pieces typically include a date code on a small leather tab or stamped directly on Alcantara along an interior seam; codes can fade with time. From around 2021, Louis Vuitton transitioned to embedded microchips rather than visible date codes. As a vintage style, this bag may carry a traditional date code.
Q: What condition is this specific item in? A: This piece is in Very Good condition with light traces of use inside and out. The hardware is shiny with scratches consistent with gentle vintage wear. Please review our photos and the Condition section for full details.
Q: What accessories are included with this item, and how is authenticity guaranteed? A: This listing is for the bag only and comes with no accessories (anything included is always listed under “Accessories”). Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip indicators and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
