Description
Model History:
Introduced in the 1980s, the Trocadéro bag is one of Louis Vuitton’s emblematic models, designed for urban travelers looking for practicality and elegance. Its name evokes the Trocadéro esplanade in Paris, a symbol of perspective and modernity. Appreciated for its structured format and accessibility, this bag remained popular for several decades before being withdrawn from the main collections, reinforcing its appeal as a sought-after vintage piece.
Exterior details:
The exterior is made of brown Monogram coated canvas with LV motifs and Monogram flowers in gold tone. The corners are reinforced with pieces of natural leather, weathered over time, providing a warm, authentic contrast. The smooth cowhide shoulder strap is adjustable with a gold buckle. A large patch pocket with zipper closure on the front adds extra functionality. The edges are trimmed in leather for added strength, while the zipper pull is in matching leather, held in place by an engraved gold slider.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with easy-care, dark brown coated canvas, and features a single, unpartitioned space for easy storage. A small side patch pocket can be used to separate small items. The lining shows signs of use in keeping with the bag’s age, but remains solid and clean.
Product Condition:
This bag is in good vintage condition. The outer canvas is well preserved, with no cracks or warping. The cowhide leather has an even honey patina. The metal parts are slightly oxidized, but functional. The zipper is smooth and intact. The interior shows slight signs of use, with no major tears or stains.
Care instructions:
Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct light to preserve the Monogram canvas. Occasionally apply a nourishing treatment to the natural leather to maintain its suppleness. Store the bag in its fabric cover, flat or lightly padded to retain its shape.
