From gallery openings to dinner dates, this vintage Louis Vuitton Epi Sac Triangle in bold red brings standout polish. Crafted from textured Epi leather with gold‑plated hardware, it features a structured silhouette, dual rolled handles and a secure top zip, with black cross‑grain lining to keep essentials neat from day to night.
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 Epi Sac Triangle? A: With approximate measurements of 40 × 14 × 14 cm, its structured east–west shape comfortably fits a long continental wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses and a small cosmetics pouch. Slim items like a paperback or a 500 ml water bottle can fit horizontally; capacity will vary with how you organise your items. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Sac Triangle discontinued, and from which era is it? A: Yes, the Sac Triangle is a vintage, discontinued model most commonly seen from the early 1990s. Many documented pieces carry early‑1990s date codes, making it a sought‑after classic for collectors and daily use alike.
Q: Does this bag come with or support a shoulder strap? A: No. The Sac Triangle is designed to be handheld with dual rolled top handles and does not feature strap attachments. On this piece, the handle drop is approximately 9 cm for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry.
Q: What is the interior like on this model? A: The Sac Triangle typically features a black cross‑grain leather lining with a full‑length slip pocket and a secure top zip closure, offering a structured interior for everyday essentials.
Q: What are the benefits of Epi leather? A: Epi is a dyed‑through, textured leather prized for its durability, structure and resistance to light scratches and moisture. While more weather‑resistant than many smooth leathers, it is not waterproof, so wipe dry promptly if exposed to rain.
Q: How should I care for and store this Epi leather bag? A: Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid oils, solvents and harsh cleaners. Keep away from prolonged sunlight and heat to preserve colour. When storing, lightly stuff the bag and place it in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry environment to help maintain its shape.
Q: The listing notes some lining peeling and a vintage odour. Is this common, and can it be treated? A: Some vintage Louis Vuitton pieces with cross‑grain or coated linings can develop peeling or tackiness over time, and a light vintage odour may occur after long storage. Many owners address this through professional cleaning or re‑lining by a trusted repair specialist. At home, let the bag air in a dry, ventilated space and avoid DIY solvents or abrasive methods.
Q: The date code is illegible—how do you authenticate this bag? A: Date codes can fade with age and use. At A Retro Tale, authenticity is confirmed through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and overall construction rather than a date code alone. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page. For this piece, no additional items are included unless explicitly stated.
