Perfect for days on the go, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Trotteur is in very good condition and brings hands-free ease to city strolls, brunch or museum visits.

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 Trotteur? A: With an approx. compact silhouette (about 26 × 12 × 7 cm for this exact piece), it comfortably carries a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, travel cards and a small cosmetics pouch. Due to the 12 cm height and zip opening, A5 notebooks and most tablets (including iPad mini) generally do not fit flat. Share your device’s dimensions and we’ll test the fit for this specific bag.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes. The Trotteur comes with a single adjustable flat vachetta strap designed for shoulder or crossbody wear. This piece has an approx. 52 cm drop, which usually sits at a mid/high crossbody position on most wearers. We’re happy to advise on strap settings for your height and preferred drop.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The bag features a zip‑top main compartment for everyday security. Inside you’ll find a brown textile lining with one interior zip pocket for valuables. Our listing photos show the exact layout of this item.
Q: What materials does this model use and how will the vachetta age? A: It’s crafted in Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas with untreated vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Vachetta is designed to develop a honey‑coloured patina over time and can be sensitive to water and oils—this natural ageing is part of the charm of vintage LV.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas, vachetta and hardware? A: Keep the bag dry and avoid heavy rain; blot any moisture gently and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Wipe coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth; condition smooth leather sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product after spot‑testing. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag and avoid prolonged strap pressure on the leather. Expect normal micro‑scratches on hardware with use.
Q: Is the Monogram Trotteur still produced? A: The classic Trotteur is generally discontinued and is now found primarily on the pre‑loved market. Details can vary slightly by year, so please review our photos and description for the exact features of this piece.
Q: What does the code “AR1020” mean on this bag? A: Older Louis Vuitton pieces carry date codes (not unique serial numbers). From 1990–2006 the format is two letters followed by four numbers: the letters indicate the country factory and the numbers indicate month and year. “AR” denotes a French factory; “1020” decodes to December (1 and 2) 2000 (0 and 0).
Q: Where would I find the date code on a vintage LV like this? A: Placement varies by model and era, but it’s commonly on a small leather tab inside the bag or stamped along the interior seam or pocket. Codes can lighten with age. If you’d like, we can point out the location on this exact piece.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, heat‑stamps, date code era consistency, hardware and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can provide additional close‑ups on request.
Q: What accessories are included with this listing? A: This item is sold as the bag only (no additional accessories). Anything included is always listed under “Accessories” on the product page—if an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included. Please contact us if you’d like confirmation.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair or replace the strap on a vintage Trotteur? A: Louis Vuitton offers repairs subject to assessment and parts availability; costs and lead times vary by region and model. For discontinued styles, replacement components may be limited. Reputable independent luxury leather specialists can also refresh vachetta straps and hardware—we’re happy to advise on typical options.
