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 Altair Clutch Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 29 x 17 x 6 cm, it is best suited to essentials such as a phone, card holder or slim wallet, keys, lipstick, and a small compact. It is a compact clutch rather than a large day bag, so bulkier items may affect the shape.
Q: Is the mirror included with this item? A: Yes. According to the product information, this clutch includes the mirror, attached on a chain inside the bag.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag has a main compartment lined in black monogram fabric, plus one internal slip pocket for smaller items you want to keep separate.
Q: Does this clutch have a strap or handle? A: No strap or handle is listed in the product information. The Altair is designed to be carried as a handheld clutch.
Q: Is this more of an evening bag or can it be used in the daytime? A: It works especially well for dinners, events, and evening occasions, but the understated black embossed leather also makes it easy to style for polished day-to-evening use.
Q: What material is this clutch made from? A: This version is finished in black monogram embossed leather with gold-tone hardware and a black monogram fabric lining, giving it an elegant and refined look.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This piece is listed in very good condition, with light traces of use to the exterior and interior. The hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: Is the Altair considered a rare or discontinued Louis Vuitton style? A: Yes. The Altair is a vintage Louis Vuitton clutch style that is no longer part of the regular current assortment and is most often found on the pre-owned market, which adds to its appeal for collectors.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity, avoid contact with oils, perfumes, and alcohol-based products, and wipe the leather gently with a soft cloth. Try not to overfill it, as structured clutches keep their shape best when used for essentials.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair older leather bags? A: Louis Vuitton offers repair services for leather goods, subject to assessment. For vintage pieces, repair options depend on the bag's condition, the materials used, and parts availability.
