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 Souple 55 Weekend Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 55 × 29 × 24 cm, it’s ideal for short trips. It comfortably carries two changes of clothing, trainers/loafers, a compact toiletry bag, large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses case and a small tech pouch. A 13–14-inch laptop fits flat in a slim sleeve (the bag is unpadded), and an A4 folder fits diagonally. If you’d like a tailored fit check, just ask and we’ll test this exact piece.
Q: Is it cabin-friendly as carry-on? A: Many airlines accept soft-sided cabin bags around 55 cm in length, and the Sac Souple’s flexible canvas helps it compress into overhead bins. Depth limits vary by carrier, so pack mindfully and check your airline’s current allowance before travelling.
Q: Does it have a shoulder strap? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The Sac Souple 55 is a hand‑carry duffle with dual rolled leather handles and typically no factory shoulder strap or D‑rings. It’s best carried in hand or on the crook of the arm. If you prefer shoulder carry, consider a Keepall Bandoulière (which has strap rings) or a travel bag designed for shoulder wear.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior like? A: It features a zip‑top main compartment, brown canvas lining and a spacious, open interior for flexible packing. Vintage examples generally have minimal internal pockets—use small zip pouches for valuables and to organise items in transit.
Q: What materials does this piece have? A: Classic Monogram coated canvas with natural vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Coated canvas is light and durable; vachetta is untreated and develops a honey patina over time, so it’s more sensitive to water and oils. Natural variations and light signs of wear are normal for a vintage piece.
Q: How should I care for the vachetta leather and canvas? A: Keep vachetta away from rain and dark denim; handle with clean hands to avoid uneven patina. If lightly damp, blot (don’t rub) and air‑dry away from heat. Wipe coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh solvents/alcohol‑based cleaners. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; avoid long‑term hanging by the handles. For deeper cleaning or stain reduction, use a trusted luxury leather specialist.
Q: What does the date code TH8901 mean? A: “TH” denotes French manufacture. In the 1980s format, “8901” decodes to January 1989. Louis Vuitton used date codes prior to its 2021 transition to embedded microchips; codes support authenticity but do not guarantee it on their own.
Q: Is the Sac Souple still produced? A: The Sac Souple line is discontinued and regarded as a true vintage Louis Vuitton travel style. Availability today is through the pre‑loved market, with details varying slightly by production year.
Q: How does the Sac Souple compare to the Keepall? A: It shares LV’s soft, lightweight construction but has a more squared profile and hand‑carry handles, whereas modern Keepall Bandoulière versions include strap rings and an adjustable shoulder strap. Many travellers find the Sac Souple’s flatter base convenient for folded garments.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: For this specific piece we list a luggage tag under “Accessories.” If an item isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip era and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
