An effortless companion for city days and weekend escapes, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Boulogne 30 carries essentials with ease while elevating casual denim or a tailored coat. The adjustable shoulder strap suits hands-free shopping, gallery visits and relaxed dinners, taking you from day to evening.
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 does the “30” in Boulogne 30 refer to? A: Louis Vuitton’s numeric size names typically indicate the approximate width in centimetres. Boulogne 30 is around 30 cm wide; this piece measures approximately 31 × 18 × 11 cm as listed under Measurements.
Q: What typically fits inside the Boulogne 30? A: Daily essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone, keys, a slim sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch, and a compact umbrella. Capacity varies by organiser/insert and how you pack—please refer to the Measurements for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this vintage Boulogne 30 be worn crossbody and is the strap removable? A: It features an adjustable shoulder strap designed primarily for short- to mid-shoulder wear. The vintage strap is not designed to be quickly removable like modern detachable straps; some users add third‑party longer straps at their own discretion, but additional straps are not included unless stated in the product information.
Q: How does this vintage Boulogne 30 differ from the current Boulogne PM sold by Louis Vuitton? A: The modern Boulogne PM has a removable strap and chain with multiple carry options and a double‑zip opening. The vintage Boulogne 30 has a single zip and a classic fixed, adjustable shoulder strap in Vachetta leather.
Q: What materials is it made from and how should I care for them? A: The exterior is Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and keep Vachetta dry; water can mark untreated Vachetta. Store stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Do vintage Louis Vuitton pockets sometimes become sticky? A: Some vintage LV models from the late 1980s–1990s used a vinyl‑coated pocket lining that can deteriorate and feel tacky over time. Not all bags are affected and severity varies by piece and storage. If stickiness occurs, consult a professional restoration service or Louis Vuitton’s repair service for advice. This item’s inner pocket lining is noted as worn in the product information.
Q: Where is the date code and what if it’s illegible? A: Vintage LV bags typically have a date code stamped on a small leather tab or on the lining inside the bag. With age, these can fade or become hard to read. Date codes are not unique serial numbers; authenticity is assessed using multiple factors like materials, stitching, stamps and hardware. For this piece, the serial number is listed as illegible—our team has authenticated it through our standard checks.
Q: Will Louis Vuitton repair or replace parts (e.g., strap, zipper) on this model? A: Louis Vuitton offers repair assessments in‑store and online. Availability, feasibility and pricing depend on the part and condition; turnaround can take several weeks. They will advise you after inspection and provide a quote before proceeding.
Q: What comes with this item? A: Everything included is always listed in the product information. For this listing, a dust bag is included.
Q: Are there any notable condition details I should be aware of on this specific piece? A: Yes. Exterior: very good with a light Vachetta patina and a watermark on one corner. Interior: very good with wear in the inner pocket lining. Hardware: shiny with light scratches. Please review all photos and the product information for full details.
