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 are the measurements and what does the Sac Souple 45 typically fit? A: The bag measures approximately 45 × 25 × 21 cm. It comfortably holds a weekend’s essentials such as clothing, toiletries, a pair of trainers, and small tech. Many users also carry up to a 14–15 inch laptop in a protective sleeve thanks to the bag’s soft, open main compartment. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Sac Souple 45 suitable as airline carry‑on luggage? A: At about 45 cm in length, it is generally within the cabin baggage limits of many airlines. Policies vary by carrier and aircraft, so we recommend checking your airline’s current allowance and avoiding overfilling the bag to maintain its soft shape.
Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap? A: The Sac Souple 45 is designed with dual leather handles and a top zip. It was not sold with a detachable shoulder strap. The handle/strap drop on this piece is approximately 20 cm, so it can be carried by hand, in the crook of the arm, or on the shoulder depending on your build and preference.
Q: Is the Sac Souple still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: No. The Sac Souple line is discontinued and considered a vintage model. It was produced in multiple sizes (including 35, 45 and 55) and is now sought after on the pre‑owned market for its classic travel aesthetic.
Q: How does the Sac Souple 45 differ from a Keepall 45? A: The Sac Souple has a more rectangular, semi‑structured base and longer handles that offer an over‑shoulder carry for some users. The Keepall is a softer, rounder duffel with shorter hand‑carry handles (and Bandoulière versions include a detachable strap). Both are lightweight travel bags in coated Monogram canvas with natural leather trim.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: It features Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas with natural, untreated Vachetta leather trim and brass‑tone hardware. Coated canvas is light and durable, while Vachetta leather develops a honey patina over time and is sensitive to water and oils.
Q: How should I care for vintage Vachetta and canvas? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep Vachetta leather away from rain and moisture to avoid water marks; do not use harsh cleaners or oils. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, out of direct sunlight and humidity. Hardware may show oxidation; if green verdigris appears around metal parts, avoid getting any metal cleaner on the leather and consult a professional if needed.
Q: Where is the date code and what does it tell me? A: Vintage Louis Vuitton pieces (early 1980s to 2021) typically have a date code stamped discreetly inside, often on a small leather tab or along a seam. The letters indicate country of manufacture (e.g., TH or VI for France) and numbers indicate the production period. Codes can fade with age, and they are not unique serial numbers. Very early vintage items may have no code, and modern pieces (from 2021) use an internal microchip instead. This particular bag was made in France.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, no additional items are included unless explicitly stated in the product information.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Each item undergoes a multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts, reviewing materials, stitching, heat stamps, hardware, glazing, and date code or microchip era consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell and can share further product information on request.
