Vintage 1984 Louis Vuitton Saumur 35 Messenger Bag

vintage Louis Vuitton Saumur 35 made around August 1984 in France — a lovely and collectible piece. Here are the key identifying features: • Double saddle-bag style with two compartments separated by a middle leather strap. • Adjustable crossbody strap with a leather shoulder pad. • Buckle closure on both front and back flap. • Monogram canvas with natural vachetta leather trim and patina. • Interior leather tag with date code • “884” → Made in August 1984 (the first two numbers often indicated the month, the third the year in some early systems). • “VL” → The factory code, likely meaning it was made in France (Louis Vuitton factories in France used “VI,” “AR,” and sometimes “VL” or “VR” in older codes). Does not include a dust bag.
