Perfect for the working week, this Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Sac Plat takes you from commute to client meetings with refined ease. Its open-top design and dual rolled handles keep documents and daily essentials close at hand, while the signature canvas brings timeless polish from desk to dinner.
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 typically fits inside? A: Approx. 38 × 35 × 9 cm with a 12 cm handle drop. It comfortably holds A4 documents, a tablet, a 13-inch laptop and most slim 14-inch devices. Some 15-inch laptops may fit vertically depending on the model and sleeve; please compare your device to the measurements for certainty.
Q: Does this classic Sac Plat come with a shoulder strap? A: The classic Sac Plat is designed for hand carry with dual rolled leather handles and does not include a shoulder strap. Some modern Sac Plat variations (such as BB/PM) feature detachable straps, but this classic style is handheld.
Q: What is the interior like? A: The Sac Plat typically features a red textile or microfibre lining with two flat slip pockets and an open top for quick access. For this specific item, please review the photos and description, which note marks on the lining consistent with gentle vintage use.
Q: Is the Sac Plat structured and suitable for documents? A: Yes. It is a slim, structured tote that stands neatly and was conceived as a document-friendly, business-ready design—ideal for files, magazines and everyday office essentials.
Q: When was the Sac Plat introduced? A: The Sac Plat design dates to 1968 and has been reinterpreted across sizes and materials over the years.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air dry. Avoid alcohol-based products, harsh chemicals and over-saturation. Keep away from prolonged sunlight or heat, and store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape.
Q: Does this bag have a date code? A: Many earlier pieces include a heat-stamped date code. From 2021 onward, Louis Vuitton transitioned to hidden microchips in many items, so newer examples may not have a visible date code. A Retro Tale authenticates every item through rigorous multi-point checks.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If a dust bag, padlock or other item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is it unisex and good for office use? A: Absolutely. The Sac Plat’s clean, structured silhouette and document-friendly proportions make it a timeless, unisex option for work and city life.
Q: There is a slight vintage smell—how can I minimise it safely? A: Air the bag in a cool, dry, shaded place. For odour absorption, place a small sachet of baking soda or activated charcoal inside for 24–48 hours, then remove and allow to breathe. Avoid spraying perfume directly or soaking the lining.
