Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Monogram Cruiser 40 Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 40 x 40 x 23 cm, this bag is well suited to a weekend’s essentials such as clothing, shoes, a toiletry case and other travel items. Its structured shape and internal pocket help keep contents organised. Capacity will vary depending on how you pack, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Cruiser 40 suitable as a carry-on bag? A: In many cases, yes. Its size is smaller than many classic cabin holdalls, so it may work well as an overhead travel bag for many airlines. However, cabin rules vary by airline, route and fare class, so we always recommend checking your carrier’s current baggage allowance before travelling.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This particular piece is designed to be carried by its dual rolled handles and does not include a shoulder strap. The listed handle drop is approximately 9 cm.
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: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This particular piece is designed to be carried by its dual rolled handles and does not include a shoulder strap. The listed handle drop is approximately 9 cm.
Q: What is Monogram canvas, and is it durable? A: Louis Vuitton’s Monogram is a coated canvas rather than full leather. It is appreciated for being lightweight and hard-wearing, while the natural leather trim develops patina over time. As with all vintage bags, high-contact areas such as corners, folds and trims can still show signs of age and use.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: The coated canvas can be wiped gently with a soft damp cloth. The natural leather trim is more delicate, so it is best to avoid rain, oils, perfume, alcohol-based products and harsh cleaners. If the leather gets wet, blot it gently with a light-coloured absorbent cloth and let it dry naturally. Store the bag in a cool, ventilated place and avoid overfilling it.
Q: What do the watermarks on the leather trim mean? A: Watermarks are common on Louis Vuitton’s untreated natural leather and are part of the ageing process seen on many vintage pieces. On this specific bag, watermarks on the leather trim and details are noted in the condition description and should be understood as cosmetic signs of use. Please review the images closely for the exact appearance.
Q: What does the date code SP1004 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this era use two letters followed by four numbers. In this format, the number pattern indicates October 2004. This piece is also marked as made in France.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This item includes a name tag and a poignet. A poignet is the small leather piece that wraps the rolled handles together for a neater grip. Everything included with this item is listed in the product information section.
Q: Is the Cruiser 40 a current Louis Vuitton style? A: No. The Cruiser 40 is a discontinued vintage travel model, which adds to its appeal for collectors and those who appreciate older Louis Vuitton travel designs.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully reviewed by specialists who assess materials, construction, hardware, stamps and date-code consistency before it is offered for sale. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we sell.
