Vintage Louis Vuitton Multipli Cité crafted in the classic Monogram canvas, featuring a structured tote silhouette with long adjustable leather handles and multiple exterior pockets. The bag is finished with natural vachetta leather details, gold-tone hardware and a top zip closure.
The front features two large exterior pockets with snap closures, while an additional pocket is placed on the side. The pockets have contrasting burgundy-red suede lining. The main compartment closes with a full-length zipper.
Condition:
The bag is in good vintage condition with visible signs of age and use throughout.
* Handles: The natural vachetta leather handles show noticeable creasing and deformation from use. The leather is softened and has developed a darker honey-brown patina, particularly along the edges, folds and areas surrounding the hardware. There are also visible darker marks around the adjustment holes and attachment points.
* Handle leather: The leather shows multiple folds and pressure marks, especially where the handles naturally bend. The stitching remains visible and intact, but there is general surface wear to the leather.
* Hardware: The gold-tone hardware shows clear signs of wear, including scratches, rubbing and areas of discoloration. The original gold finish is visibly worn in several places, particularly on the handle buckles.
* Zipper: The top zipper has visible surface wear and scratches. The zipper pull shows significant rubbing and loss of the original gold-tone finish, with darker areas and discoloration visible on the metal.
* Canvas: The Monogram canvas shows visible creasing, particularly around the upper opening, front pocket area and sides. There are areas of general surface wear consistent with age and previous use.
* Edges & piping: The natural leather edging and piping show darkening, rubbing and marks from use, particularly around the corners and lower edges.
* Front pockets: Both exterior pockets show signs of use, including creasing and softening around the flap edges and closures. The snap hardware also shows signs of age and surface wear.
* Side pocket: The side pocket has visible creasing and wear around the flap and edges. The burgundy-red lining remains visible but shows signs of previous use.
* Overall shape: The canvas has softened with age and use, resulting in visible creases and a less rigid structure compared with a newer example.
The bag has clear vintage wear, particularly to the vachetta leather, handles, zipper and metal hardware. All visible imperfections are shown in the photographs and should be taken into consideration when assessing the condition of the piece.
