Very Good Condition
A vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Sologne, ideal for weekend city strolls and hands-free days. Crafted in monogram coated canvas with Vachetta trim and brass hardware, it offers an adjustable shoulder strap, a front flap with buckle, and handy internal zip and external slip pockets. In very good overall condition with a charming patina, it elevates everyday outfits with timeless Louis Vuitton style.
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 in the Monogram Sologne? A: With approximate measurements of 25 × 18 × 8 cm, it comfortably holds a smartphone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, and small daily essentials such as lip balm or hand sanitiser. A slim 7–8 inch tablet may fit without a bulky case. Capacity varies by how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page to be sure.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap removable? A: Yes, the Sologne is designed to be worn on the shoulder or crossbody via its single adjustable strap (around 60 cm drop as listed). The strap is adjustable but not designed to be detached. If you need extra length, a professional cobbler may add an additional hole; we do not recommend DIY alterations.
Q: How does the bag close and what pockets does it have? A: The Sologne features a front flap with a belt-style buckle closure. This model typically includes a rear exterior slip pocket, an easy-access pocket under the flap, and an interior compartment with a zip pocket—ideal for keeping smaller items secure.
Q: Is the Sologne still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: The Sologne is considered a vintage model and is no longer part of Louis Vuitton’s current collection. It is now found primarily on the pre-owned market.
Q: How durable is Monogram canvas and what about rain? A: Louis Vuitton’s coated Monogram canvas is durable and generally water‑resistant for light splashes. However, the natural vachetta leather trim is untreated and will develop a patina; it can stain from water and darken with wear and sunlight. Try to avoid heavy rain and wipe dry promptly if the leather gets wet.
Q: How should I care for the vachetta leather and canvas? A: For canvas, wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. For vachetta, keep it dry, avoid creams or alcohol-based products, and let the patina develop naturally. Store the bag loosely stuffed in its dust bag in a cool, ventilated place away from direct sunlight, and avoid overpacking to maintain its shape.
Q: Where is the date code and what does it mean? A: Most Sologne bags (produced in the 2000s) have a date code stamped on a small leather tab inside a pocket or along an interior seam. It indicates where and when the piece was made and is not a unique serial number. On older bags the code can fade, which is normal. Recent LV items may use microchips instead of visible date codes, but Sologne pieces are generally earlier.
Q: This item notes a slight vintage smell—will it fade? A: Light vintage odour commonly dissipates with time. Air the bag in a dry, ventilated space and place odour absorbers (such as baking-soda sachets or activated-charcoal pouches) near—but not directly on—the leather. Avoid spraying perfumes or harsh deodorisers onto the materials. If needed, consult a specialist leather care professional.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a box, padlock or additional strap is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly inspected by our in-house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps and date codes, with additional verification tools as needed. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details upon request.
