Louis Vuitton Monogram Cruiser 40 Bag
Vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Cruiser 40 Bag - 862-19341
An ideal companion for weekend escapes, short business trips, and stylish city breaks, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Cruiser 40 brings timeless sophistication to every journey.
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 Cruiser 40? A: With approximate measurements of 50 × 40 × 24 cm, it accommodates a long weekend’s wardrobe: several outfits, a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag, and smaller essentials. Packing cubes help maximise the boxy interior. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Cruiser 40 carry‑on compliant? A: It often fits airlines that allow up to 56 × 45 × 25 cm for cabin bags. Some carriers (particularly in North America) use 56 × 35 × 23 cm, where the depth of this bag may exceed limits. As policies vary by airline and aircraft, we recommend checking your specific carrier before you fly.
Q: Does this model include a shoulder strap? A: No. The Cruiser is a hand‑held travel bag with dual rolled leather handles (approx. 10 cm drop). It does not have D‑rings for a detachable strap.
Q: How does the bag open and what is the inside like? A: The Cruiser features a wrap‑around zip closure secured by a leather buckle strap. Inside is one large, open compartment with a practical slip pocket, lined in brown textile.
Q: Is Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas waterproof? A: The coated canvas is durable and water‑resistant, but not fully waterproof. The natural Vachetta leather trim is untreated and can develop water marks and a honey patina over time. Avoid heavy rain and wipe the bag dry if it gets damp.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and Vachetta leather? A: For canvas, wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water; avoid alcohol‑based products, solvents, and harsh cleaners. Keep Vachetta leather dry and away from oils or lotions; store the bag stuffed and in a breathable dust bag, out of direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Does this vintage bag have a date code? A: Many vintage Louis Vuitton bags have a date code stamped on a small leather tab along an interior seam or near the pocket. Codes indicate where and when a piece was made, but they are not unique serial numbers. Note that newer LV items may use microchips instead of visible date codes.
Q: Is the Cruiser 40 structured or soft? A: It is a soft‑sided travel bag that holds its square lines when packed, yet folds relatively flat when empty for easy storage.
Q: What items are included with this piece? A: This bag comes with a luggage tag and a handle keeper (poignet). Everything included is listed under the product information; if an item such as a padlock or dust bag is not shown there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, examining materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
