Perfect for weekend city strolls or a casual brunch, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Croissant MM tucks neatly under the arm and keeps essentials secure with its zipped closure, an effortless companion from day to evening.
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 Croissant MM? A: With approximate dimensions of 31 × 19 × 5 cm, it comfortably holds a continental wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses (soft case), a small cosmetics pouch, and a slim A5 diary placed horizontally. A compact e‑reader or small tablet up to around 8 inches may fit depending on its case and the bag’s curved opening.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: It is designed as a shoulder bag with a single adjustable strap. The drop is approximately 25 cm (adjustable), which suits under‑arm/shoulder carry rather than crossbody for most people.
Q: Is this the original vintage Croissant or the newer reissue? A: This is from the original Croissant line popular in the early 2000s, now discontinued and sought‑after on the pre‑loved market. Louis Vuitton has revisited the crescent shape in recent years, but the vintage Croissant models (PM/MM/GM) have distinct dimensions and details.
Q: What are the materials and interior details? A: Monogram coated canvas with Vachetta (natural cowhide) leather trim and gold‑toned brass hardware. The interior is red Alcantara (microfibre) with an internal slip pocket and a top zip closure.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Wipe coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water only; avoid harsh chemicals and alcohol‑based cleaners. Vachetta leather is untreated and will develop a natural patina; keep it dry, avoid rain and oils, and store away from heat/sunlight. If the leather becomes wet, blot gently and allow to air dry; do not use heat. For stubborn marks, seek a specialist rather than DIY treatments.
Q: Any tips for the red Alcantara lining? A: Alcantara is a soft microfibre. Shake out crumbs, then use a clean lint roller or a very soft brush to lift dust. Avoid soaking; for spots, use a barely damp cloth and blot gently, allowing it to dry naturally. If in doubt, consult a professional handbag care service.
Q: Where is the date code on this model, and what if I can’t find one? A: On Croissant bags with Alcantara lining, the date code is typically stamped directly onto the lining, often inside or near the interior pocket, and it can fade with time. Note that date codes were phased out by Louis Vuitton from 2021 in favour of embedded microchips on newer items; vintage Croissant bags pre‑date this change. A visible date code is not, by itself, proof of authenticity—our team authenticates each piece using multi‑point checks.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, no additional items are included unless explicitly stated there.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: Very Good overall. The Vachetta leather shows an even patina with some watermarks and rubbing on the piping; the interior shows light wear; hardware has surface scratches and some dullness. Please review the photos for full details.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: France, as indicated by the country of origin stamp.
