Perfect for daily commutes and weekend escapes, the vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Flannery 45 lends effortless polish to casual denim or a smart trench. Its roomy silhouette and zip-top closure make it a reliable companion from office hours to overnight travel.
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: Is the Flannery 45 still produced? A: No. The Flannery line is a discontinued Louis Vuitton style, so pieces like the 45 are considered vintage and found on the pre‑loved market.
Q: What are the measurements of this bag? A: Approximately 45 cm (W) × 32 cm (H) × 14 cm (D) with a strap drop around 33 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for this specific item’s exact values.
Q: What typically fits inside the Flannery 45? A: It’s a spacious shoulder tote that comfortably carries a 13–15 inch laptop in a sleeve, A4/letter documents, a water bottle, cosmetics pouch, and daily essentials. Capacity depends on how you pack—use the Measurements as your guide.
Q: Is it suitable as cabin baggage? A: Its size generally fits in overhead bins and may qualify as a personal item or carry‑on with many airlines. Policies vary by carrier and route, so we recommend checking with your airline before travelling.
Q: What materials is this model made from? A: Monogram coated canvas with natural vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware, finished with a brown textile lining. The coated canvas is durable and easy to wipe clean, while vachetta is untreated leather that develops a honey patina over time.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and vachetta leather? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Keep vachetta away from water, oils, and prolonged sunlight to minimise watermarks and uneven darkening. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: What is the interior layout and closure like? A: The Flannery 45 has a zip‑top closure, a roomy main compartment, a single hanging interior pocket, and a brown textile lining for easy organisation.
Q: Where can I find the date code and how do I read it? A: On most vintage Flannery bags the date code is stamped on a small leather tab along an interior seam or inside the pocket. Codes from the 1980s–2000s use letters for the factory and numbers for month/year. With age, some codes can fade. We’re happy to help locate and interpret it on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. For this listing, no additional items are included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point checks by our in‑house experts—covering materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details upon request.
