Perfect for busy city days, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Multipli-Cité keeps essentials elegantly organised. An adjustable shoulder strap and two front pockets offer quick access on the go, while a secure top zip and Alcantara-lined interior transition from office to weekend. In very good condition with light traces of use, it adds timeless LV polish to everyday looks.
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 Monogram Multipli-Cité? A: With approximate measurements of 32 × 22 × 11 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials: a large smartphone, compact or continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, wireless earbuds and a small cosmetics pouch. An A5 diary/notebook fits; A4 documents do not lie flat. A 500 ml water bottle may fit laid horizontally; standing it upright can press against the zip and isn’t recommended. Share your items’ dimensions and we’ll test the fit in this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or e‑reader? A: Compact tablets and e‑readers (e.g., iPad mini/Kindle) generally fit. Most 11‑inch tablets are a tight fit due to the 22 cm height and structured zip opening, especially with a bulky case. For certainty, tell us your device’s measurements and we’ll check this specific bag.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? Is the strap adjustable? A: The Multipli‑Cité is designed for shoulder carry with an adjustable shoulder strap; crossbody wear isn’t its intended use and typically sits too high to be practical. On this piece the strap drop is approximately 22 cm; we’re happy to advise how it’s likely to sit based on your height and build.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It features a top zip main compartment for everyday security, lined in red Alcantara with internal slip pockets for small items. Two external front pockets with magnetic flap closures offer quick access—best for low‑profile items to preserve the clean silhouette.
Q: Are the magnetic pocket closures safe for phones and cards? A: Standard handbag magnets are generally fine for modern smartphones and EMV‑chip bank cards. As a precaution, avoid prolonged direct contact with older magnetic‑stripe cards (including some hotel key cards); store those inside the main compartment or a separate sleeve.
Q: What are the materials and where is this piece made? A: Monogram coated canvas with natural vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware, lined in red Alcantara. This example is labelled Made in France. Coated canvas is durable and lightweight; vachetta is untreated and will develop a honey patina with use.
Q: How should I care for the vachetta leather, canvas and lining? A: Keep vachetta away from moisture and dark denim to minimise watermarks and colour transfer; if it gets lightly wet, blot gently and air‑dry away from heat. Dust the canvas with a soft, dry cloth; spot‑clean only if needed with lukewarm water and a tiny amount of mild soap. For Alcantara, use a clean lint roller or soft brush; avoid harsh cleaners. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; avoid hanging by the strap for long periods and keep it out of direct sunlight and high humidity.
Q: Is the Multipli‑Cité still produced? A: This style is generally regarded as a vintage/discontinued model and is most commonly available on the pre‑loved market rather than in current Louis Vuitton boutiques. Availability can vary by season and region on the secondary market.
Q: Where would I find a date code, and what about microchips? A: For bags of this era, you can usually expect a heat‑stamp inside and a date code on a small leather tab or along an interior seam (placement varies by year). Note that from around 2021 Louis Vuitton moved from visible date codes to embedded microchips; date codes assist with dating but are not proof of authenticity on their own.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: This listing states no accessories. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts—reviewing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and production codes, and overall construction—and we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
