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 Flannery 45? A: With dimensions of approximately 45 x 31 x 15 cm, the Flannery 45 is a spacious overnight or weekend bag. It comfortably accommodates 2–3 outfits, a toiletries pouch, a pair of extra shoes, and daily essentials. Its generous width also makes it suitable for carrying documents and larger items for a short getaway.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: Yes, the 45 cm width easily accommodates most 13-inch and 15-inch laptops, along with chargers and accessories. The top zip closure ensures your devices remain secure while on the move.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: The bag features dual flat Vachetta leather handles with a drop of approximately 33 cm. This generous length is designed specifically for comfortable shoulder carry, even when wearing a thick coat. The straps are not adjustable and are generally too short for crossbody wear.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Flannery 45 features a secure single zip-top closure to keep your belongings safe. The interior is lined with durable brown textile and typically includes one open slip pocket for organising smaller valuables like a passport or phone.
Q: Is it suitable as cabin baggage? A: Yes, at 45 x 31 x 15 cm, it fits within the carry-on size limits of most major airlines (often around 55 x 40 x 20 cm). Its soft-sided Monogram canvas construction allows it to fit easily into overhead bins or under seats, provided it is not overfilled. We always recommend checking with your specific airline before travel.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have? A: This bag is crafted from Louis Vuitton’s durable Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta cowhide leather trim and straps. It features gold-tone hardware. The Vachetta leather has developed a unique patina over time, which is characteristic of vintage Louis Vuitton pieces.
Q: When was this bag produced? A: This specific item bears the date code N00918, which indicates it was manufactured in France in January 1998. The Flannery line is discontinued, making this a sought-after vintage piece.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather straps? A: Vachetta leather is natural and untreated, making it sensitive to water, oils, and sunlight. It naturally darkens to a honey colour (patina) over time. To maintain it, avoid direct contact with hand creams, perfumes, or water. If it gets lightly wet, blot immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing states "no accessories," meaning items such as a dust bag, box, or padlock are not included. Please refer to the Accessories field on this page for the definitive list of what comes with this specific bag.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi-point authentication by our in-house experts. We assess the canvas, Vachetta leather aging, stitching, hardware details, and the date code (N00918) to ensure the item is a genuine Louis Vuitton piece from the late 1990s.
