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 Sac Plat? A: The Sac Plat is a structured vertical tote originally designed for documents. Its generous dimensions (approximately 38 cm height × 36 cm width) easily accommodate A4 folders, magazines, and laptops placed vertically. It also holds daily essentials like a wallet, phone, cosmetic pouch, and keys. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this specific piece.
Q: Will my laptop fit inside? A: Yes, the Sac Plat is a popular choice for carrying technology. Most 13-inch and 15-inch laptops fit comfortably upright. We recommend comparing your device’s dimensions with the measurements listed to ensure it fits alongside your other belongings.
Q: Can I wear this bag on my shoulder? A: The classic Sac Plat features dual rolled Vachetta leather handles with a relatively short drop (approximately 12 cm on this piece), designed primarily for hand carry or carrying in the crook of the arm. It generally does not fit comfortably over the shoulder, and this classic model does not come with a long strap.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The design features an open top for easy access to your items, relying on its deep, structured silhouette to keep contents secure. It does not have a zipper or magnetic closure. For smaller valuables, we recommend using the internal slip pocket or a separate zipped pouch.
Q: What is the interior lining made of? A: Vintage Monogram Sac Plat bags typically feature a beige cross-grain leather lining (Vuittonite), which is durable and easy to wipe clean. This model includes an internal slip pocket. Please review our photos and the "Internal Condition" report to see the specific state of the lining for this item.
Q: How do I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Monogram coated canvas is robust and water-resistant; simply wipe it with a soft, damp cloth if it gets dirty. The Vachetta leather handles are untreated and will develop a darker honey-coloured patina over time, which is normal for vintage pieces. To preserve the leather, avoid contact with water, hand creams, and oils. Store the bag upright in a breathable dust bag to maintain its structured shape.
Q: Is the Sac Plat structured or slouchy? A: This model is known for its rigid, boxy shape, which allows it to stand upright and keeps papers from creasing. While vintage canvas may soften slightly with age, the Sac Plat retains its structure much more than soft totes like the Neverfull.
Q: Where are the brand markings and date codes located? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton Sac Plat bags feature a "Louis Vuitton Paris made in..." heat stamp inside. The date code is usually found on a leather tab inside the pocket or stamped along a top seam. As this is a vintage piece made in France, our experts verify these markers along with materials and stitching to ensure authenticity.
Q: What accessories are included? A: Any included items such as a dust bag or box are listed under the "Accessories" section of the product description. For this specific item, no accessories are included.
