Description
Model History:
The Saumur satchel takes its name from the French town known for its equestrian traditions, which explains its direct inspiration from saddlebags. Introduced by Louis Vuitton in the 1980s, it meets a growing demand for practical bags without sacrificing elegance. Designed for travel or everyday use, its symmetrical two-compartment silhouette allows efficient organization while retaining the house’s aesthetic codes.
Exterior Details:
The bag is crafted in brown Monogram canvas adorned with the iconic LV logo and stylized beige flowers. The structure is reinforced with natural leather at the edges, central strap, fastenings and shoulder strap. Gold-plated brass buckles securely close each compartment. Its squat shape, typical of the model, is functional and recognizable. The adjustable shoulder strap allows comfortable cross-body or shoulder carrying.
Interior details:
Each of the two compartments opens independently under the flap, offering storage space lined with brown cotton canvas. The interior is simple and practical, without frills, with a small patch pocket in one of the compartments. This double-compartment system makes it easy to separate everyday items.
Product Condition:
This Saumur satchel is in good overall condition. The Monogram canvas remains solid and tight, with no cracks. The leathers show a pronounced honey patina with visible marks on the edges and corners, as well as a few wear creases. The seams are solid overall, and the buckles function correctly. The corners show signs of wear typical of regular use, visible in the photos.
Care instructions:
To preserve the coated fabric, gentle cleaning with a slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Untreated natural leather requires special care: avoid contact with water, expose to air to maintain its suppleness, and occasionally nourish with a dedicated product. Store the bag in a dry place, ideally in a cover, away from direct light.
Why to choose this product :
The Saumur Monogram combines utility and heritage with a resolutely vintage aesthetic. Its double-compartment design, still rare today, makes it a singularly practical piece. For fans of vintage Louis Vuitton bags with character, it offers generous capacity, comfortable carrying and a strong visual identity. This model is ideal for those looking for a functional and durable luxury accessory with a story to tell.
