Louis Vuitton Randonnée Bag

The Louis Vuitton Randonnée is a 1990s classic whose name says it all — a free, practical bag built to be carried over the shoulder all day. Bucket shape, drawstring closure, single vachetta-leather strap. A vintage model retired from current production, it has been pulled back into focus by the contemporary return of bucket bags and casual silhouettes. Our catalog gathers a curated selection of pre-owned Randonnée bags authenticated by our experts, in Monogram canvas.

Sizes: Randonnée PM and GM

Two formats. The Randonnée PM (22 × 22 × 16 cm) is the more common — a compact shoulder bucket. The Randonnée GM (27 × 27 × 18 cm), rarer, holds a bit more. Both share leather drawstrings, an adjustable strap and a contrasting leather base. A Bandoulière variant with a longer strap was produced in smaller numbers.

Monogram canvas and vachetta cowhide

The Randonnée is almost exclusively built in coated Monogram canvas, with vachetta cowhide trim on drawstrings, strap and base. The honey patina is part of the model and tells its story of use — on vintage pieces it is an asset. Pre-owned, check the strap (main wear point), drawstring braid (can fray), the leather base condition and the microfibre interior lining.

Pricing and value

The Randonnée is no longer produced, but remains relatively affordable on the resale market. Expect from roughly $300 for a Randonnée PM in good condition and $480 - $720 for very-well-kept pieces with their original strap. Randonnée GMs are rarer and priced slightly higher. The contemporary comeback of bucket bags has supported pricing in recent years.

Authentication and alternatives

Every Randonnée bag is inspected: date stamp, Monogram canvas, vachetta condition, strap, drawstrings, lining. If you are looking at other bucket or soft crossbody silhouettes, our Noé, Néonoé, Bucket and Montsouris pages cover close alternatives. Selling a Randonnée is straightforward — PMs in good condition with their original strap clear quickly.
