The details for this exceptionally preserved 1990 vintage Louis Vuitton Boulogne bag in classic Monogram canvas are structured below:

Dimensions

• Bag Measurements: 33 x 23 x 10 cm / 13.0 x 9.1 x 3.9 inches (Length x Height x Width)

• Adjustable Strap Drop: Approx. 28.0 - 42.0 cm / 11.0 - 16.5 inches (Versatile design suitable for both comfortable shoulder carry and hands-free crossbody wear, adjusted via the classic brass buckle).

• Note: The 33cm base length offers the perfect mid-sized hobo silhouette—spacious enough for daily essentials yet elegant and slouchy on the shoulder.

Materials & Hardware

• Main Body: Iconic Louis Vuitton Monogram coated canvas, known for its durability and timeless aesthetic. This 1990 canvas features an exceptionally rich, deep chocolate background with vibrant golden motifs, indicative of premium 90s production quality.

• Trim: Natural cowhide leather (Vachetta) featuring wide adjustable shoulder straps and prominent corner reinforcements at the base of the bag. Due to its age and protected condition, the Vachetta leather displays a highly desirable, even honey-to-amber patina with minimal stains or watermarks.

• Interior Lining: Soft, durable beige/ochre textile lining (typical of late 80s to early 90s Louis Vuitton production), providing an organized and spacious interior.

• Hardware: Polished gold-toned metal hardware, including the strap adjustment buckle and a secure top-zip closure with a smooth leather pull tab, maintaining excellent working order.

Key Features & Functionality

• Rare Vintage Find: Produced in 1990, this Boulogne bag is a true collectible. The original 90s iteration features a slightly rounder, slouchier crescent shape and sturdier corner patches compared to modern reissues, making it highly coveted among vintage LV connoisseurs.

• Pristine Preserved Condition: As seen in the photos, the lower portion of the bag is still wrapped in protective clear plastic film, suggesting this piece has been carefully stored in a vault or untouched for decades. This "like-new" vintage state is exceptionally rare and adds immense value.

• Versatile Everyday Carry: Its adjustable strap and medium 33cm silhouette make it the ultimate vintage chic companion—perfect for casual daily wear, travel, or adding a touch of retro luxury to any outfit. It easily accommodates a wallet, makeup pouch, and phone.

Market Value & Pricing (Pre-Owned / Vintage)
The price varies depending on the exceptional condition of the canvas, Vachetta leather patina, and the rarity of such a well-preserved year:

• Retail/New (Modern Re-issue): The modern revived version of the Boulogne currently retails for approximately $1,850 - $2,150 USD.

• Resale/Pre-owned (1990 Vintage, Wrapped): Prices on the secondary market generally range from $750 to $1,400 USD. Pristine vintage pieces with intact protective plastic and clean Vachetta leather achieve the highest premiums among luxury collectors, as they are increasingly difficult to find.
