Description
Model History:
The Pegasus is one of Louis Vuitton’s iconic suitcases, introduced in the 1990s in response to changing travel habits. At a time when air travel was becoming more democratic, Louis Vuitton was developing flexible, manageable luggage adapted to the demands of contemporary travelers. The Épi leather version, introduced in the 2000s, adds a more luxurious and sober dimension to this already functional line. Épi leather, invented by the company in the 1920s and reintroduced in the 1980s, is distinguished by its ribbed grain and robustness, guaranteeing excellent durability.
Exterior details:
Dark brown Epi leather offers an elegant textured finish, resistant to scratches and splashes. The luggage’s rigid, rectangular structure is reinforced by rounded corners and a stable base. The telescopic handle retracts completely, while a fixed ultra-flat handle in smooth leather allows hand-carrying. A flat zipped pocket is visible on the front for quick access to documents or accessories. The overall look is discreet, with no flashy logos, except for a subtle tone-on-tone “LV” embossing.
Interior Details:
The interior, lined with dark brown textile canvas, opens onto a generous main compartment with crossed straps to keep clothes in place. The zipped inner flap includes a large flat pocket, ideal for separating personal effects or documents. The layout is designed to maximize space while keeping organization simple and efficient. An interior leather label indicates the origin: “Louis Vuitton Paris – Made in France”.
Product Condition:
This cabin suitcase is in very good condition for a model from the 2000s. The leather shows no signs of use. The wheels work properly, as does the telescopic handle. Zippers are smooth and intact. The interior is clean, with no stains or tears. All in all, it’s still very well maintained and perfectly usable.
Care instructions:
Épi leather is easy to clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents and use a specific leather cleaner for persistent stains. To prolong the life of your suitcase, store it away from humidity and direct sunlight, ideally in a protective cover. Take care not to overload the compartments, to preserve the rigid structure of the luggage.
