This vintage Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Sac Plat makes a refined companion for office days and city appointments. Crafted in brown canvas with leather trim and gold-toned hardware, it offers dual rolled handles, an open top and a red-lined interior with pockets—an elegant choice for carrying daily essentials from desk to dinner in very good condition.
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 can the Sac Plat typically hold?
A: With approximate measurements of 38 × 35 × 9 cm, it comfortably fits A4 documents, a notebook or diary, a tablet, and most 13–14 inch laptops in a slim sleeve. Some slimmer 15 inch laptops may also fit, but please compare your device’s measurements to the bag’s dimensions for certainty.
Q: Does this Sac Plat come with a shoulder strap?
A: No. This classic Sac Plat is a handheld tote with dual rolled top handles. The handle drop is about 10 cm, ideal for hand or crook-of-arm carry.
Q: How secure is the open top for daily use?
A: The design is an open tote with interior pockets for smaller items. For added organisation and privacy, many owners use a zipped pouch or a slim bag organiser inside. Keep valuables in the interior pockets and avoid overfilling to maintain the clean silhouette.
Q: Is the Damier Ebene canvas water-resistant?
A: Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas is hard-wearing and resists light rain. Wipe moisture off promptly and keep the leather trim as dry as possible. Clean the canvas with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water only; avoid home remedies and chemicals. Store away from heat and sunlight to preserve colour and shape.
Q: What does the date code MI1003 mean on this piece?
A: MI indicates manufacture in France. For this four-digit format used in the early 2000s, the first and third digits show the month and the second and fourth show the year, so MI1003 corresponds to October 2003.
Q: Is this style suitable for work and commuting?
A: Yes. The structured, flat profile and wide opening make it excellent for documents, a laptop in a sleeve, and daily essentials. It’s a timeless, unisex design that pairs well with both smart and casual wardrobes.
Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this specific piece, no extras are included unless stated there.
Q: How should I care for the bag to keep it in Very Good condition?
A: Wipe the coated canvas occasionally with a damp cloth. Avoid alcohol-based products, oils, and harsh cleaners on both canvas and leather. Do not overpack; store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place. Rotate use and minimise rubbing against abrasive surfaces to reduce scuffs on corners and handles.
Q: Does the Sac Plat stand upright on its own?
A: The Sac Plat has a structured build and generally stands when lightly filled. Using a base insert or organiser can help maintain structure and keep the interior tidy over time.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point inspection by our in-house specialists, checking materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps, and date codes in context. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
