Designed for weekend getaways and polished city breaks, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Stephen bag pairs iconic style with practical carry. In monogram coated canvas with Vachetta leather trim, it features dual rolled handles, a detachable shoulder strap with tortoiseshell detail and a top zip, keeping essentials secure from departure to arrival.
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 fits inside the Louis Vuitton Monogram Stephen Weekend Bag? A: As a roomy weekend style, it typically carries clothing for 1–2 nights, a toiletry bag, compact umbrella, slim trainers or flats, a tablet, a 13-inch laptop, A4 documents, chargers and daily essentials (wallet, keys, phone, sunglasses). Exact capacity depends on the specific edition and how you organise—please refer to the Measurements on this page or contact us for tailored fit advice for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or tablet? A: Most Stephen weekend bags comfortably fit standard tablets and a 13-inch laptop. Slim 14–15-inch models may fit depending on the bag’s opening and your protective sleeve. For certainty, compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements listed or ask us to perform a quick fit check for this item.
Q: Is it suitable as airline carry-on? A: Many weekend bags are within typical cabin limits (often around 55 × 40 × 20 cm), but allowances vary by airline and fare class. Please compare the Measurements shown with your airline’s rules, or ask us to advise based on this specific piece and your usual carrier.
Q: Does it come with a shoulder strap? Can it be worn crossbody? A: The Stephen is commonly designed with dual top handles for hand/shoulder carry. Some editions include a detachable shoulder strap; not all pre‑loved pieces do. Everything provided with this bag is listed under “Accessories,” and we’ll include handle/strap drops under Measurements—if anything is missing, just ask and we’ll confirm for you. It’s generally not intended for true crossbody wear.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: Many Stephen weekend bags feature a zip‑top main compartment for secure access, with interior slip/zip pockets to organise small items; some editions may include exterior pockets. Configurations vary by season and year—please review our photos and description for the exact layout of this piece.
Q: What materials is it made from? A: The Stephen is typically crafted in Monogram coated canvas with natural cowhide (vachetta) leather trim and gold‑tone hardware; linings are often textile. Our listing specifies the exact materials, hardware finish and country of origin for this item.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and vachetta leather? A: Coated canvas is durable; wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Vachetta is untreated and sensitive to moisture and oils—avoid rain and colour transfer from dark denim, and handle with clean hands. Use a high‑quality, neutral leather conditioner very sparingly on trim only (test on a discreet area first). Store the bag lightly stuffed and upright in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: Will the vachetta handles/trim darken over time? A: Yes. Vachetta naturally develops a patina, deepening in colour with use. It can show water spots and marks if exposed to moisture or oils. To minimise marks, avoid wet conditions, keep liquids capped and rotate carry. Patina is a normal characteristic and part of the vintage charm.
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 the 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 by era—contact us for close‑up photos for this item.
Q: Is the Stephen Weekend Bag still produced? A: The Stephen is an earlier Louis Vuitton style and is not widely available in current retail collections. The pre‑loved market is the best way to find this model and its variations.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Any included items (e.g., dust bag, detachable strap) are listed under “Accessories.” If an accessory 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 pieces we sell.
