Louis Vuitton Trouville Monogram Canvas Bag 2004 | Sold Attire

A compact Louis Vuitton silhouette shaped in monogram canvas with Parisian practicality.

The Trouville, introduced in the early 2000s, was designed as a structured city bag that balanced elegance with everyday function. This 2004 example carries the house's signature monogram canvas with natural vachetta leather trim that has developed a warm honey patina. The shape holds its structure beautifully, with clean corners and even canvas throughout. Condition is rated 9/10, with only the lightest signs of careful use.

The Designer's Vision

The Trouville was introduced during Marc Jacobs' tenure as Louis Vuitton's creative director, a period that redefined the house for the modern era. Named after the coastal town in Normandy, the Trouville embodied French elegance meets practical luxury.

This was the era when Louis Vuitton perfected the art of the structured handbag. The Trouville's boxy silhouette, top handles, and optional shoulder strap made it ideal for women who needed organisation without sacrificing style. The monogram canvas, created by Georges Vuitton in 1896, was never about decoration. It was about heritage, durability, and instant recognition.

The vachetta leather trim, untreated and natural, was designed to patina with time. This wasn't a flaw but a feature. Louis Vuitton understood that luxury should age beautifully, developing character with each journey.

Dated BA0094, this bag was produced in France in September 2004, during the height of Marc Jacobs' vision for Vuitton: playful yet refined, modern yet rooted in 150 years of trunk-making heritage.

For the collector in Cairo, this is not simply a handbag. It is an entry into early 2000s Louis Vuitton, authenticated and discontinued.
