Designed for boardroom meetings and polished commutes, this vintage Louis Vuitton Epi Serviette Fermoir in black Epi leather with gold‑plated hardware adds refined structure to professional looks. A sleek top‑handle briefcase for organising documents and essentials from desk to dinner, it elevates city offices, client visits and business travel alike.
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 Epi Serviette Fermoir? A: With approximate measurements of 41 × 28 × 9.5 cm, it comfortably holds a 13-inch laptop (and many slim 14-inch models), A4 documents, a notebook/diary, phone, charger, and small essentials. For exact capacity, please refer to the Measurements on this page and consider a protective sleeve for electronics.
Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap or keys/dust bag? A: The classic Serviette Fermoir is a handheld briefcase with a single rolled top handle. This listing shows no additional items included. Everything included is listed under the product information section; if a strap, keys, or dust bag are not listed there, they are not included.
Q: How does the S-lock work, and do I need a key? A: The front press-lock closes securely without a key for daily use. A key is only required if you wish to lock the clasp. If keys are not included in the product information, they are not part of this listing. For assistance with locks or hardware, Louis Vuitton repair services can advise options.
Q: What are the benefits of Epi leather for a work bag? A: Epi leather is a structured, textured leather known for durability and a degree of water resistance. It holds its shape well and resists everyday scuffs, making it ideal for professional use.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather and the hardware? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use. Keep the bag dry and away from oils or alcohol-based products (perfume, hand sanitiser). Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight/heat, and avoid overfilling. The gold-tone hardware is plated, so avoid abrasive polishes; use a clean microfibre cloth instead.
Q: Will it fit under an airline seat or count as a personal item? A: Its slim briefcase profile is generally suitable for carry-on travel and often fits under-seat on many airlines. Size rules vary by carrier, so please check your airline’s personal-item dimensions before flying.
Q: Where will I find the date code and what does it indicate? A: On vintage Louis Vuitton, a small date code is typically stamped discreetly on a leather tab or along an interior seam, indicating factory and production date. In recent years the brand has transitioned to embedded microchips on many items, so some newer pieces have no visible date code.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton service this briefcase if I need repairs? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton offers assessments and repairs online and in-store for components such as handles, lining and clasps. A Care Expert provides an estimate before any work is carried out.
Q: Is this bag unisex? A: Yes. Its clean, structured silhouette and practical compartments make it a refined professional choice for any wearer.
