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 this Louis Vuitton Monogram Sac Plat Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 38 x 36 x 9 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a full-size wallet, phone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, documents, and notebooks. Its tall, structured shape also makes it practical for A4 papers and, depending on the exact size of your device and sleeve, potentially a slim 13-inch laptop. We recommend comparing your item to the measurements on this page before purchase.
Q: Is this bag designed to be carried on the shoulder? A: No. This vintage Sac Plat is designed for hand or forearm carry with dual rolled top handles. It does not come with a shoulder strap, and the handle drop is approximately 14 cm.
Q: What does the patina and visible watermark on the Vachetta leather mean? A: Vachetta is Louis Vuitton’s untreated natural leather, which darkens over time and develops a honey-toned patina with use. Watermarks and tonal variation are common on vintage pieces and are part of the natural ageing process. On this bag, visible watermarking and patina are already reflected in the stated condition.
Q: What does peeling on the inside mean for everyday use? A: The bag is listed in good internal condition, but there is peeling on the inside. This is a known issue on some older Louis Vuitton pieces as interior coatings can break down with age, storage conditions, or humidity. The bag can still be enjoyed, though some owners prefer using an organiser or eventually relining the interior for a cleaner finish.
Q: Is the open-top design practical for daily use? A: Yes, if you like quick access to your belongings. The Sac Plat’s open-top construction makes it easy to reach documents and everyday essentials, which is one reason it remains a popular work and city bag. Do note that it is less secure than a zipped style, so many buyers prefer to keep smaller valuables in a pouch inside.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: The coated canvas can be wiped gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. The Vachetta leather should be kept as dry as possible and blotted promptly if it comes into contact with water. Avoid oils, perfume, alcohol-based products, harsh cleaners, and prolonged direct sunlight. For storage, keep the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag and away from heat and humidity.
Q: Is the date code or serial marking readable on this piece? A: No. The date code or serial marking is noted as illegible. This can happen on vintage bags through wear and age. An unreadable code does not automatically rule out authenticity, as experienced authentication also looks at materials, stitching, hardware, stamping, and overall construction.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This bag includes a name tag. Everything included with the purchase is shown in the product information, so if another item is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Is the Sac Plat a good choice for work or everyday use? A: Yes. The Sac Plat is known for its clean, structured silhouette and upright shape, which make it especially useful for documents, notebooks, tablets, and other day-to-day essentials. It is a strong option if you want a classic vintage Louis Vuitton tote with a practical, minimalist profile.
