Louis Vuitton Sac Plat Tote Bag in Monogram Canvas — 1968 Icon

Created in 1968, the Sac Plat is one of Louis Vuitton's most radical designs: an architectural tote, perfectly flat and structured, that has become a favorite among creatives and collectors. This M51140 model in Monogram canvas and natural cowhide leather, made in France in 2008 (date code MI0068), belongs to the classic version now discontinued — recent re-editions sell for significantly more in stores. Its portrait format accommodates files, laptops, and magazines, carried either by hand or under the arm.

• Iconic Silhouette: The original flat and structured tote, reissued by the House — proof of its timeless status.

• Monogram Canvas: Clean and bright on this piece, with a very clear monogram.

• Patinated Vachetta: Handles and natural leather straps with a light and uniform honey patina — the sought-after aging.

• Impeccable Interior: Remarkably clean light beige coated lining, with a slip pocket.

• Unisex & Practical: 35 x 37 x 9 cm — the A4+ format that structures all outfits, for both her and him.

Included Accessories

• No accessories included (sold alone).

Héritage Sélection's Take: The classic Sac Plat has become one of the most coveted totes in vintage wardrobes — and this original M51140 version is no longer available in stores. Our example has a canvas and interior that are above average for its age; however, its bottom corners show distinct wear detailed below. An ideal candidate for stylish daily use, at one-third the price of current re-editions.
