This vintage Louis Vuitton Trotteur crossbody bag in Monogram canvas with Vachetta leather trim and gold-tone hardware is presented in very good condition. Its slim, hands-free silhouette and zipped interior make it a stylish choice for city outings, travel days or casual lunches, bringing classic Louis Vuitton character to everyday dressing.
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 Monogram Trotteur? A: This is a compact essentials bag with measurements of approximately 27 × 13 × 6 cm. It is best suited to a phone, a slim wallet, keys, a passport, lipstick, and a few small daily essentials. Bulkier items or a large continental wallet may make it feel quite full.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. The Trotteur is designed as a slim hands-free shoulder or crossbody style. This item has a strap drop of approximately 55 cm, so it should suit crossbody wear for many people, although the fit can vary depending on height and what you are wearing.
Q: Does it have any pockets or compartments? A: Yes. It has a main zipped compartment and one internal zip pocket, which is useful for smaller valuables you would like to keep separate.
Q: What does the date code AR0021 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period indicate where and when the bag was made. AR points to France, and AR0021 corresponds to February 2001. Date codes are helpful for product history, but they are not a standalone proof of authenticity.
Q: Is the Trotteur a discontinued Louis Vuitton model? A: Yes. The Trotteur is a vintage, discontinued Louis Vuitton style, which is one reason it remains sought after on the pre-owned market. Its compact shape and practical hands-free design are a big part of its lasting appeal.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This piece is listed in very good condition. The exterior shows scuffing on the leather trim, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft damp cloth when needed, and avoid harsh cleaners, oils, or alcohol-based products. The Vachetta leather is untreated and will naturally deepen in colour over time, so it is best kept away from excess water, direct heat, and heavy moisture. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable fabric bag in a ventilated space to help maintain its shape.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is shown in the product information section. For this piece, no additional items are included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: At A Retro Tale, each item is checked by in-house experts using details such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and date code consistency. The date code supports the production era, but the full authentication process looks at the bag as a whole.
