Very Good Condition
Perfect for polished days in the city, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Petit Palais carries work-to-weekend essentials with ease. Crafted in brown Monogram coated canvas with gold-tone accents, it offers versatile wear via dual top handles or the detachable shoulder strap. In very good condition, it elevates meetings, lunches and effortless evenings with timeless LV elegance.
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 Petit Palais Tote Bag? A: The Petit Palais is a compact yet spacious daily bag (approx. 30 × 21 × 12 cm). It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a large smartphone, a continental (long) wallet, a keyset, a cosmetics pouch, and a small water bottle. It can also fit a standard tablet (e.g., iPad) without a bulky case. It is generally too small for a laptop or A4 documents.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes, the bag comes with a detachable and adjustable leather strap. The strap drop typically ranges from approximately 47 cm to 54 cm, allowing for comfortable shoulder or crossbody wear for most heights. It also features dual rolled Toron handles for hand or elbow carry.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The main compartment features a double zip closure, keeping your belongings secure. Additionally, the bag is designed with two exterior flat pockets (one on the front and one on the back) for quick and easy access to items like your phone or travel pass.
Q: What materials is this bag made of? A: This specific piece is crafted from Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram coated canvas with natural cowhide (Vachetta) leather trim and a textile lining (often in a contrasting colour like red). The hardware is gold-tone. Please refer to the specific condition report for details on the leather’s patina and condition.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather trim? A: The natural Vachetta leather is untreated and will develop a honey-coloured patina over time. It is sensitive to water and oils, which can leave marks. We recommend keeping it dry, avoiding contact with hand creams or sanitisers before handling, and wiping it gently with a soft, dry cloth if it gets wet. Avoid using harsh cleaners or conditioners that may darken the leather unevenly.
Q: Where are the date codes located on this model? A: The Petit Palais was introduced around 2021, coinciding with Louis Vuitton’s transition from physical date codes to embedded Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) microchips. Therefore, this model typically features a microchip instead of a visible date code tab. Our experts verify these chips during the authentication process.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Included accessories are always listed in the “Accessories” section of the product page. For the Petit Palais, this typically includes the detachable strap, a padlock, and keys (often in a clochette or attached to a luggage tag). If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We check materials, stitching, hardware weight and finish, typography, and the presence of a valid microchip or date code to ensure the bag is an authentic Louis Vuitton piece.
