Louis Vuitton - Pégase 45 Rolling Luggage - Ardoise Taiga Leather - M23302

Description:
An authentic and beautifully presented Louis Vuitton Pégase 45 rolling cabin suitcase in sophisticated Ardoise (charcoal black/dark gray) Taiga leather (Model Reference: M23302 / Serial Number: SP0094).
The Pégase 45 is one of Louis Vuitton's most iconic, elegant, and durable luxury rolling travel cases. Crafted from premium, textured Taiga leather—inspired by the coniferous forests of Siberia—it is designed specifically for professionals, executives, and stylish travelers who value discreet luxury over loud logos.
Key design and functional features of this model include:

Premium Durability: The fine-grained Taiga leather is exceptionally resilient, offering superior resistance against scratches, scuffs, and water, making it the perfect material for rigorous travel.
Cabin Friendly Size: This 45cm model is the most compact in the Pégase family, masterfully designed to meet the strict cabin baggage and carry-on size regulations of most major domestic and international airlines.
Superior Ergonomics: Equipped with a heavy-duty, multi-stage retractable telescopic aluminum handle hidden beneath a zippered leather flap, smooth-rolling wheels, a spacious exterior front pocket for easy travel document access, and internal clothing flaps to keep your wardrobe securely pinned and wrinkle-free.

Finding a vintage Pégase 45 in Taiga leather that is structurally sound and ready for immediate travel is a rarity, making this an incredible investment piece for collectors and frequent flyers alike.

Condition Report:
Overall Condition: Excellent used condition (Pre-owned). The bag has been exceptionally well-cared for, showing a crisp, clean appearance and maintaining its sharp, structured silhouette.
Exterior & Leather: The Ardoise Taiga leather is in excellent condition, crisp and well-preserved with only minimal signs of previous light use.
Wheels & Plastic Guards (MAJOR PLUS): The wheels and the surrounding plastic structural housing have been officially replaced by LOUIS VUITTON and are completely brand new. This is a massive advantage, as vintage Pégase models frequently suffer from cracked plastic or degraded rubber wheels. Thanks to this official Louis Vuitton boutique repair, this suitcase rolls as smoothly and reliably as a brand-new store piece.
Retractable Handle & Leather Handles: The telescopic pulling handle and the leather top/side handles are in excellent operational condition.
Interior Note: The main interior compartment is very clean and completely odorless. Please note: The zipper on the smaller inner zip pocket is currently broken and does not close. However, the pocket can still be used for storage, and the rest of the suitcase can be used comfortably without any issues.
Hardware: The zippers and main silver-tone metal hardware remain shiny and bright.
