Perfect for weekend escapes and overnight business trips, this Louis Vuitton Monogram Alizé 24h brings vintage sophistication to every journey. Its timeless look complements both tailored attire and off-duty styles, making travel days effortlessly elegant.
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 Monogram Alizé 24h? A: With approximate measurements of 47 × 34 × 18 cm, it’s designed for an overnight or light weekend. Think: two sets of clothing, underwear, a slim pair of shoes or loafers, a toiletry pouch (1000 ml airline‑compliant bottles), phone, chargers, an A4 document folder and a 13–14" laptop in a protective sleeve (the bag is not padded). Packing cubes help keep the two compartments organised. Capacity varies by how you pack—ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Is it suitable as airline cabin baggage? A: Its footprint is generally within many airlines’ cabin limits (often around 55 × 40 × 20 cm in Europe and roughly 56 × 36 × 23 cm in the US). Policies differ by carrier and fare type, and weight limits may apply, so please confirm your specific airline before travelling. We’re happy to provide an exact scale weight and fit tips on request.
Q: How is the interior laid out? A: The Alizé 24h typically features two full‑zip compartments. One side is ideal for folded garments (often with an internal slip pocket or straps), while the other side provides additional space for accessories and small items. Some versions include an exterior flat pocket. Layouts can vary slightly by production year—please review our photos for this exact piece.
Q: Does it come with a strap and can I wear it on the shoulder or crossbody? A: Yes—this piece includes a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap (approx. 50 cm drop listed) for comfortable shoulder carry and a high crossbody on some wearers. Dual rolled handles (approx. 10 cm drop) are for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. Everything included is listed under “Accessories.”
Q: What materials is it made from and how durable is it? A: It’s crafted from Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The coated canvas is hard‑wearing and water‑resistant for everyday travel, while the Vachetta (untreated, vegetable‑tanned leather) will develop a natural patina and is more sensitive to water and oils.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and canvas? A: Keep Vachetta away from rain and liquids; if it gets lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Avoid oils, hand creams and dark denim transfer. Wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; avoid prolonged hanging by the strap and pad hardware/handles during storage.
Q: The code reads “VI 1916”. What does that mean? A: Louis Vuitton used date codes prior to its microchip transition around 2021. For the 1990–2006 format (two letters + four digits), the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth digits indicate the year. “VI 1916” decodes to November 1996, and “VI” denotes French manufacture. Note: a date code supports dating but is not, by itself, proof of authenticity.
Q: Is the Alizé 24h still produced? A: The Alizé 24h is generally considered a vintage/discontinued travel style. Availability today is through the pre‑loved market, with small variations in interior pockets and accessories depending on the year.
Q: How does the Alizé 24h compare to the Alizé 48h or 3 Poches? A: The 24h is the slimmer, overnight size with two compartments. The 48h is larger for longer trips and some versions add a third compartment (“3 Poches”). If you’re choosing between them, consider airline rules and how much you typically pack.
Q: This item notes a vintage smell—any tips to reduce odour safely? A: Air the bag open in a cool, dry, shaded area for several days. Place odour‑absorbing sachets (e.g., activated charcoal or bicarbonate of soda in a breathable pouch) inside, replacing as needed. Avoid spraying perfume or harsh cleaners directly into the lining. If odour persists, a specialist handbag spa can treat it professionally—ask us for recommendations.
Q: What accessories are included and how is authenticity guaranteed? A: For this piece we list: luggage tag, detachable shoulder strap and handle fastener under “Accessories.” If an item isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included. Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date code, and overall construction—we stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
