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 Flannery 50? A: With approximate measurements of 50 × 34 × 15 cm, it comfortably holds a 16-inch laptop in a sleeve, A4 documents, a light jumper, a water bottle, a cosmetics pouch, and daily essentials. Capacity varies by how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Flannery 50 suitable as a cabin bag? A: At 50 cm in length, it generally falls within the carry-on length limits used by many airlines (often around 55–56 cm). Rules differ by carrier and aircraft, so please check your airline’s current cabin baggage policy before travelling.
Q: Does it have a shoulder strap and is it adjustable? A: This model features dual flat shoulder straps for over-the-shoulder carry. The straps are fixed (non‑adjustable and non‑removable). The drop on this piece is approximately 33 cm, which sits comfortably even over a coat.
Q: What are the key features and interior layout? A: Classic Monogram canvas with vachetta leather trim, gold‑tone hardware, top zip closure, brown textile lining, and a single interior pocket. There is no padded laptop compartment, so we recommend a protective sleeve for electronics.
Q: Is this the same as the Sac Flanerie 50 (M51116)? A: Yes. This style is widely known as the Sac Flanerie 50 in the vintage market; spellings Flanerie/Flannery are used interchangeably. The classic Monogram version is commonly referenced under style code M51116.
Q: Is the Flannery/Flanerie line still in production? A: No. The Sac Flanerie/Flannery line is discontinued and now sought after on the pre‑owned market. Availability is limited to vintage pieces.
Q: How should I care for the vachetta leather and canvas? A: Wipe monogram canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Vachetta leather is untreated and will develop a natural patina; avoid water, oils, and harsh cleaners to prevent marks. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight. For stubborn stains or restoration, consult a professional leather spa. Lightly buff gold‑tone hardware with a soft, non‑abrasive cloth only.
Q: Will the base sag when packed, and can I use an organiser? A: As a soft tote without base feet, it can relax with use. A lightweight base shaper or bag organiser helps distribute weight and maintain structure. Avoid overloading to preserve the straps and seams.
Q: Where is the date code and what does it mean? A: On vintage Louis Vuitton, the date code is typically stamped on a leather tab or directly on the lining, often near an interior seam or pocket. Letters indicate the factory location and numbers indicate production period (month/year for 1990–2006; week/year for 2007–2021). Date codes are not unique serial numbers and are only one factor in authentication.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece is listed as coming with no accessories. Everything included is stated under Accessories on this page—if an item (such as a dust bag) isn’t listed there, it is not included. We are happy to recommend suitable inserts or protective sleeves on request.
