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 is the Louis Vuitton Kabul/Kaboul America’s Cup garment bag? A: It is a limited‑edition vintage garment carrier from the mid‑1990s Louis Vuitton Cup collection, crafted in red coated canvas with LV Cup flag motifs and finished with natural vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. It was produced in small numbers to celebrate the brand’s yachting sponsorship.
Q: What does the date code SP1904 indicate on this piece? A: SP denotes a French workshop. For codes used between 1990 and 2006, the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth digits indicate the year. Therefore, SP1904 decodes to October 1994. Note that date codes are not unique serial numbers; they indicate production details and, since 2021, Louis Vuitton has moved to microchip identifiers on new items.
Q: What typically fits inside this garment bag? A: As a foldable garment carrier, it comfortably accommodates one to two suits or dresses and essentials like a slim shoe bag and small pouches. Capacity depends on how you fold and pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions and plan accordingly.
Q: Is it cabin‑luggage friendly for flights? A: When folded, some travellers have used similar Louis Vuitton garment bags as carry‑on, but unfolded dimensions usually exceed airline limits. Because cabin rules vary by carrier and aircraft, we recommend checking your specific airline’s policy before travelling.
Q: How is the bag carried? A: It offers dual rolled top handles for hand carry and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap for over‑the‑shoulder wear. Rotating between the handles and strap helps distribute weight and preserves the leather.
Q: Is the coated canvas waterproof? A: The coated canvas is durable and water‑resistant, making it suitable for regular travel use, but it is not fully waterproof. The natural vachetta leather trim is untreated and sensitive to water, oils and sunlight, so avoid rain exposure and wipe dry promptly if it gets damp.
Q: How should I care for the vachetta leather and canvas? A: Keep vachetta dry, handle with clean hands, and allow its patina to develop evenly by storing away from direct light. Clean the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed, and avoid harsh or alcohol‑based cleaners. For deeper cleaning or restoration, consult a professional leather specialist.
Q: How should I store the bag when not in use? A: Store it loosely stuffed to support the shape, inside a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic covers and heat sources, and keep hardware (like the padlock) wrapped so it does not imprint on the leather.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with a detachable shoulder strap, luggage tag and padlock. Everything included is listed under Accessories; if an item such as keys or a dust bag is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
