Ideal for polished days in the city and effortless weekends away, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Olympe pairs signature coated canvas with bordeaux leather trim.

Carry it from morning meetings to dinner; it elevates both smart and casual 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 Olympe? A: The Olympe is a spacious, sophisticated tote (approx. 40 x 25 x 14 cm) designed to carry more than just essentials. It comfortably fits a large wallet, smartphone, cosmetics pouch, keys, sunglasses, and an iPad or tablet. While the 40 cm width suggests it could hold a compact 13-inch laptop, the central zipped divider and structured silhouette might make this a snug fit; we recommend comparing your device’s dimensions with the bag’s internal layout.
Q: Can I wear this bag on my shoulder? A: Yes, the Olympe features dual rolled leather handles with a drop of approximately 17 cm (some sources cite up to 20 cm depending on the leather's relaxation). This drop allows for shoulder wear on most frames, though it sits high under the arm. It is also popularly carried by hand or in the crook of the arm for a classic look.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The bag offers excellent organisation and security. It features a distinctive gold-tone "Charnière" push-lock clasp on the front flap. Inside, you will find two main open compartments separated by a secure central zipped pocket. There is also a front slip pocket hidden under the flap and a convenient zipped pocket on the exterior back for easy access to your phone or travel pass.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: This specific piece combines Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram coated canvas with luxurious "Aurore" (bordeaux/deep purple) calf leather trim and handles. The interior is lined with matching soft Alcantara (microfibre) fabric, and the hardware is finished in polished brass.
Q: When was this item produced? A: The date code SP2122 indicates this bag was manufactured in France during the 22nd week of 2012. This places it in the original release era of the Olympe line, which has since been discontinued, making it a sought-after model for collectors.
Q: How do I care for the Monogram canvas and leather trim? A: Monogram canvas is durable and water-resistant; simply wipe it with a soft, damp cloth to clean. The bordeaux leather trim is smooth calfskin—avoid scratching it against abrasive surfaces and keep it away from hand creams or oils that could degrade the finish. Store the bag upright in a breathable dust bag to maintain the shape of the handles and structure.
Q: Is the hardware prone to scratching? A: The Olympe features a prominent brass push-lock plaque on the front. As with all large polished hardware, hairline scratches are a normal sign of use over time. Our listing notes that the hardware on this piece is "Shiny with light scratches," which is consistent with a well-cared-for pre-loved item.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We perform multi-point checks on materials, stitching, hardware, the date code (SP2122) and overall construction to ensure authenticity. We stand behind the genuineness of all items we sell.
Q: What accessories are included with this piece? A: This item is sold as the bag only ("no accessories"). If a dust bag, box, or other accessory is not listed in the "Accessories" field, it is not included.
