Vintage Louis Vuitton Danube Black Epi Leather Crossbody Bag Gold Hardware

This preloved Louis Vuitton Danube in black Epi leather is a beautifully preserved vintage example from September 1990, bearing date code M10940 and Made in France. The Danube is one of the most enduringly practical crossbody formats in the Louis Vuitton archive — a structured camera-style bag with a front slip pocket, a main zip compartment, and an adjustable leather shoulder strap, all executed in the house's signature Epi leather with gold-tone hardware throughout.

Epi leather was introduced by Louis Vuitton in 1985 as the house's first permanent leather range, and this black colourway has aged exceptionally well — the ribbed surface texture remains crisp and the leather retains its structure without cracking or peeling. The LV monogram is subtly embossed on both faces, and the gold-tone zip pulls are engraved with the LV initials.

Second hand Louis Vuitton Epi leather bags from the early 1990s are among the most sought-after pieces in the vintage LV market, and the Danube's compact camera-bag format makes it a strong choice for anyone after an everyday crossbody bag with real archive credentials.

Condition

Good preloved condition for a 1990 piece. The black Epi leather is intact with no cracking, peeling or structural damage, and the embossed monogram remains clearly legible on both faces. The gold-tone hardware shows expected age-related tarnishing, with some surface creasing on the upper back panel typical of Epi leather at this age. The zip runs smoothly and the interior is clean.

Authenticity

This Danube was checked against genuine Epi-era LV production: date code format M10940, the embossed monogram depth on both faces, and the interior microfibre stamp all match confirmed 1990 Made in France examples.

Why We Love It

Epi leather from this era is tougher than Monogram canvas and ages more gracefully than almost anything else the house has produced. A 1990 Danube in black Epi with gold hardware looks as considered today as it did leaving the Paris atelier, and it's the kind of preloved Louis Vuitton piece that's consistently undervalued for the quality on offer.

Styling Notes

Wear it crossbody at the 55cm drop for a relaxed, hands-free carry from morning to evening. The black Epi leather reads as quietly luxurious rather than logo-forward, sitting comfortably against navy, camel, cream and burgundy alike.

RETURNS POLICY

Please read carefully before purchasing.

Luxury Resale Concierge specialises in preloved designer pieces, many sold on behalf of individual consignors who have trusted us to find their items a new home. Every piece is hand-inspected, measured, and photographed in detail, and listed with full condition notes, so that what you see is exactly what you receive. We always rather you buy with confidence the first time than return an item you weren't sure about.

Because of this, we ask customers to read listings thoroughly, check measurements against their own bags or shoes, and get in touch with any questions before ordering. Our team is genuinely happy to send extra photos, videos, or measurements on request.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 7 days of you receiving the order, however the return postage cost is covered by the sender. All returns need to be sent Guaranteed Next Day Delivery and need to be insured to the full value of the item.

To start a return, please contact us at info@luxuryresaleconcierge.com, and our team will issue a returns authorisation number, which must be included with your shipment. Please send the tracking info back to us via email.

Please note that all Hermes items are final sale. No returns will be accepted.

Condition on Return

As these are preloved, often rare and irreplaceable pieces belonging to our consignors, items must be returned exactly as sent: unworn beyond trying it on, with all original packaging, dust bags, authentication cards, and tags intact. We understand you'll want to check the item is right for you, but please treat it as you would trying on in a shop.

If an item is returned showing signs of wear, use, or alteration beyond this, we reserve the right to deduct an amount reflecting the reduction in value from your refund, or, in cases of significant damage, decline the return. This protects both our consignors and the integrity of every piece we sell.

Return shipping

Return postage is the responsibility of the customer. As mentioned above, all returns need to be sent guaranteed next day delivery, and need to be insured to their full value. Liability remains with the sender until such time we have received and inspected the return.

Refunds

Once your return is received and inspected, we aim to process refunds within 24 hours.

If an item is received back WITHIN the 7 day window after receiving your delivery you will receive a refund to your original payment method. If the item arrives back AFTER the 7 day window, a store credit will be issued for the item value.

A note on considered buying

Because we work closely with our consignors and many pieces are one-of-a-kind, high return volumes affect real people, not just us. This also has an environmental impact, which the world of preloved tries to avoid.

If you're ever unsure about sizing, condition, or authenticity before buying, please reach out first. We're always happy to help you make the right decision.

Items marked as SALE cannot be returned. All SALE items are Final.
