Strap Drop: Adjustable, approx. 10"–21" (approx.) Interior: One flat pocket Date Code: 881031 (March 1988) Made In: France The Cartouchière crossbody was introduced in the late 1980s as a functional messenger silhouette, designed for daily wear with a distinctive teardrop buckle tab and adjustable shoulder strap. This GM example carries the house's signature Monogram canvas, developed in 1896 and printed on coated textile for durability, framed in natural vachetta leather that deepens with age. The flap-front construction secures with a brass-tone buckle, and the interior features a single flat pocket. Stamped with a March 1988 date code, this piece represents Louis Vuitton's heritage of practical luxury, marrying Parisian craft with enduring materials.
