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 Montsouris MM backpack? A: The MM size usually carries daily essentials: smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve, an A5 notebook/diary and a small water bottle. A full A4 folder or most laptops are generally a squeeze. Capacity can vary slightly by production year—please refer to the Measurements on this page or contact us for tailored fit advice for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: Most compact tablets fit comfortably; larger tablets (e.g., 11-inch) may fit depending on case thickness. Standard 13-inch laptops typically do not fit the MM well. Compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements shown or ask us to perform a quick fit check for this item.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: Vintage Montsouris backpacks typically feature a drawstring top with a buckle flap for everyday security, plus a front zipped pocket for quick-access items and interior slip pockets. Pocket layout can vary by era—please review our photos and description for the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: Are the shoulder straps adjustable? Can it be worn crossbody? A: The Montsouris MM has adjustable leather shoulder straps designed for backpack wear. It’s not intended for crossbody use. We’ll list strap lengths under Measurements—if anything is missing, just ask and we’ll confirm for you.
Q: What materials is it made from? A: The Montsouris is commonly crafted in Monogram coated canvas with natural cowhide (vachetta) leather trim and gold-tone hardware; interiors are typically textile. Our listing specifies the exact materials and finish for this item.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and vachetta leather? A: Coated canvas is durable and can be wiped gently with a soft, dry cloth. Vachetta is untreated and will develop a patina; it’s sensitive to water, oils and colour transfer (e.g., from dark denim). Handle with clean hands, avoid rain, and condition smooth leather sparingly with a neutral product (test first on a discreet area). Store the backpack lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: Is it water-resistant? What if it gets wet? A: Coated canvas offers light resistance, but natural vachetta leather is not water-proof and can spot or darken. If caught in light rain, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow to air-dry away from heat. Consider using pouches inside for electronics and avoid exposure to heavy rain.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags have a heat-stamp inside (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” and country of origin). Older pieces typically include a date code on a small leather tab or along an interior seam; from around 2021, LV transitioned to embedded microchips rather than visible date codes. Placement and format vary—contact us for close-up photos of this item.
Q: Is the Montsouris MM still produced? A: The classic vintage Montsouris variation is discontinued; Louis Vuitton has released modern reissues/updates at times, which can differ in details. Availability in boutiques changes by season. The pre‑loved market is the best way to find specific eras like this MM.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Any included items (e.g., dust bag or box) are listed under “Accessories.” If something isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date code/microchip. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
