Perfect for the office commute and client meetings, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Document Folder lends refined polish while keeping essential documents close at hand. A timeless choice for boardroom presentations, interviews or airport check-ins.
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 this document folder? A: With external measurements of approximately 31 × 23 × 1 cm, it is ideal for A4 papers, meeting notes, slim notebooks, and most tablets up to around 11 inches (without bulky cases). Because the gusset is slim, we recommend keeping contents flat to maintain the folder’s shape.
Q: Will it fit a 13-inch laptop or MacBook Air? A: Not comfortably. Although the width is similar to many 13-inch devices, the 1 cm depth and flat construction make it better suited to documents and slim tablets rather than laptops. Please compare your device’s measurements to the folder’s and allow a small margin for ease.
Q: Does it have internal pockets or a strap/handle? A: This vintage model is a minimalist document folder with one main compartment and no strap or top handle. It is designed to be carried by hand or slipped inside a larger bag or briefcase.
Q: Is the Monogram material leather? A: The exterior is Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas, which is a durable canvas with a protective finish rather than leather. This piece features a brown leather lining inside, giving a refined feel while keeping the exterior lightweight and hard-wearing.
Q: How should I care for coated canvas and the leather lining? A: Wipe the canvas occasionally with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed; avoid solvents, alcohol-based products, and abrasive scrubbing. Keep the interior leather dry, blot any moisture promptly, and avoid overfilling. Store the folder in a cool, ventilated place away from heat and direct sunlight, ideally lightly stuffed to retain its shape.
Q: Is the canvas waterproof? A: The coated canvas is water-resistant for everyday splashes but not fully waterproof. If it gets wet, gently wipe it dry and let it air naturally—do not use heat to speed up drying.
Q: Can cracked canvas be repaired? A: Canvas cracking is uncommon with proper care but, if it occurs, it generally cannot be repaired by the brand. Prevention is best: avoid overpacking, prolonged folding or pressure on corners, and extreme heat.
Q: Does this item include a dust bag, box, or other extras? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this specific piece, it is offered without additional items; if something like a dust bag or box is not shown in the product information, it is not included.
Q: Where was this folder made and is it vintage? A: It is stamped Made in France and is a vintage piece, reflected in the tasteful patina and light signs of use noted in the condition report.
Q: Does it have a date code or microchip? A: Many vintage Louis Vuitton small leather goods feature an internal date code that can fade over time. More recent items (from 2021 onwards) use an internal microchip instead of a visible code. Regardless, we authenticate through comprehensive expert checks of materials, stitching, stamps, and construction details rather than relying on a date code alone.
