Louis Vuitton Upside Down Monogram Apollo Backpack

Q: What typically fits inside the Apollo Backpack?
A: With approximate measurements of 40 × 30 × 16 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as an A4 notebook or folder, a tablet, a compact umbrella, a water bottle, chargers, and a small pouch. Packing capacity depends on how you organise items—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.

Q: Will it fit a laptop and does it have a padded sleeve?
A: It fits most 13-inch laptops and some slim 15-inch models without bulky cases. There is no dedicated padded laptop sleeve; we recommend using a separate protective sleeve for devices.

Q: Which collection is the “Upside Down” Monogram Ink from?
A: The Upside Down Monogram Ink pieces were released as part of Louis Vuitton’s Men’s 2018 pre-collection under Kim Jones. The Apollo Backpack from this capsule features the ink-blue and white Monogram with a playful inverted LV motif.

Q: What are the materials and interior layout on this piece?
A: This backpack is crafted from Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas in the Upside Down Monogram Ink with navy leather trim and ruthenium-finished hardware. It has a black fabric lining with internal pockets and a front zipped pocket for quick-access items, plus a zip-around main compartment.

Q: How durable is Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas and is it waterproof?
A: Monogram coated canvas is robust and easy to maintain for everyday use. It is water-resistant for light rain but not fully waterproof; prolonged exposure to water should be avoided. If it gets wet, blot gently and allow it to air dry naturally.

Q: How should I care for and store this bag?
A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth (mild soapy water if needed). Avoid alcohol-based solutions, oils, and harsh chemicals. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to help maintain its shape and colour.

Q: Does this 2018 piece have a date code or a microchip?
A: Many Louis Vuitton items made up to early 2021 carry a stamped date code (often on a small leather tab inside a pocket). From around March 2021, the House began phasing in embedded microchips in place of visible codes. As this design is from 2018, it will typically have a date code, though exact placement can vary by bag.

Q: Is the Apollo Backpack unisex and suitable for travel?
A: Yes—its clean lines and adjustable padded straps make it comfortable and suitable for all genders. The size works well as a daypack and generally as a cabin personal item on many airlines, but allowances vary, so please check with your carrier.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If a dust bag or other item is not listed there, it is not included.

Q: Where was this piece made?
A: This backpack is labelled as made in France. Louis Vuitton manufactures in several countries, but the origin of each individual piece is indicated on its label or stamping.
