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 Croissant MM? A: The MM (Moyen Modèle) is the medium size in the Croissant family and is well-suited for everyday essentials. It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a long (continental) wallet, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, and sunglasses in a soft case. The curved crescent shape offers a surprising amount of space while tucking neatly under the arm.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: The bag features a flat Vachetta leather strap that is adjustable via a gold-tone buckle. With a strap drop of approximately 26 cm, it is designed specifically as a shoulder bag (often called a “short shoulder” style). The strap is generally too short for crossbody wear, unlike the modern “Loop” or “Remix” reinterpretations.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: This vintage piece is crafted from Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram coated canvas, paired with Vachetta (natural cowhide) leather trim and strap. A signature feature of the original Croissant line is the interior lining, which is made from plush red Alcantara (microfiber), giving it a luxurious, soft finish.
Q: Is the Louis Vuitton Croissant MM still produced? A: The original Croissant line was produced in the early 2000s and has since been discontinued, making it a highly sought-after vintage find. While Louis Vuitton has released newer bags inspired by this shape, the original vintage models are distinct for their specific dimensions, hardware, and Alcantara interiors.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The bag features a secure zip-top closure that follows the curve of the “croissant” shape. Inside, there is typically a main compartment with one or two flat slip pockets (originally designed for flip phones) to help organise smaller items. Please refer to our photos for the exact condition and layout of this specific piece.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather strap? A: The strap and trim are made from Vachetta leather, which is untreated and will develop a honey-coloured “patina” over time. It is sensitive to water, oils, and sunlight. To protect it, avoid direct contact with lotions, perfumes, or rain. If it gets wet, blot gently with a soft, dry cloth—do not rub. The coated canvas body is durable and can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth.
Q: Where are the date code and brand markings located? A: Authentic vintage Croissant bags feature a heat stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris made in France”) inside. The date code is typically stamped into the seam of the interior pocket or on a small leather tab within the lining. As this is a pre-loved item, our in-house experts have already authenticated it based on these markers and overall construction.
Q: What accessories are included with this bag? A: Any included accessories such as a dust bag or box are explicitly listed in the “Accessories” section of this page. If an item is not mentioned there, it is not included. Please feel free to contact us if you need confirmation.
