Q: Is the Flannery 45 suitable for travel or overnight use?
A: Yes. The Flannery 45 is known for its roomy silhouette, making it a practical option for a short getaway, day travel or as a large everyday shoulder bag. As cabin rules vary by airline, we recommend checking your carrier’s current hand-luggage requirements before flying.

Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder?
A: Yes. This model is designed as a shoulder bag with long handles. The handle drop listed for this item is approximately 34 cm, which offers a comfortable over-the-shoulder carry for many users.

Q: What material is this bag made from?
A: This style is made in Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram coated canvas with natural leather trim and straps. The coated canvas is generally durable for everyday use, while the untreated leather will naturally darken and develop patina over time.

Q: Is patina on the leather normal?
A: Yes. Patina is a natural ageing process in Louis Vuitton’s untreated leather trim and straps. Over time, exposure to light, handling and air causes the leather to deepen in colour. On vintage pieces, some patina is expected and often appreciated as part of the bag’s character.

Q: What condition is this particular bag in?
A: This item is rated Very Good Condition overall. Please note the specific signs of wear listed in the product information: the leather straps show patina, wear and minor cracking, the lining has discolouration, and the hardware shows scratches and tarnish. As with all vintage bags, these are part of the item’s pre-owned character.

Q: Does this bag come with product information or extras?
A: According to the product information for this item, it comes with no accessories. If something is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.

Q: Does the bag have a serial number or date code?
A: The product information for this specific item states that the serial number was not found. On vintage Louis Vuitton bags, date codes can sometimes be worn, faint, hidden or absent due to age and use. A missing code alone does not determine authenticity, which should always be assessed using the bag as a whole, including materials, construction, hardware and details.
