Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Marais PM? A: With approximate dimensions of 23 × 24 × 16 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, sunglasses case and a 500 ml water bottle upright. An iPad mini or similar small tablet fits; a full‑size 10-inch tablet may be a snug fit. Please compare with the Measurements on this page for certainty.
Q: Does this model have a top closure? A: The Marais design is an open‑top bucket without a top zip or drawstring. Use the two internal zip pockets for valuables and, where present, a small pouch for added organisation.
Q: Did the Marais originally come with a pochette? A: Many Marais bags were sold with a small matching zip pochette on a chain. On the pre‑owned market inclusion varies, so please refer to product information for exactly what is included with this specific piece.
Q: Are the straps adjustable and comfortable on the shoulder? A: Yes. The bag features dual flat leather shoulder straps with buckle adjustments. On this piece the drop is about 22 cm and slightly adjustable, making it easy to wear on the shoulder or in the crook of the arm.
Q: Does the Marais have protective feet on the base? A: Most versions include four metal feet to help the bag stand upright and protect the base from wear.
Q: What is the interior like, and can vintage pockets get sticky? A: The Damier Ebene Marais typically has a red Alcantara microfibre lining with two zipped pockets. Some vintage Louis Vuitton pocket linings from this era can become tacky over decades due to material breakdown; we check and describe any such issues on each item. This piece is graded Very Good with light signs of use.
Q: Is Damier Ebene canvas durable and rain‑friendly? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas is hard‑wearing and water‑resistant, and the dark treated leather trim is less prone to water spots than untreated vachetta. Wipe dry after light rain and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, heat or direct sunlight.
Q: How should I care for the Alcantara lining? A: Gently remove dust with a lint roller or soft brush. For light marks, dab with a barely damp microfibre cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals; for sticky or heavily soiled pockets, consult a professional bag specialist.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware stamps and date codes where present. Louis Vuitton typically used date codes on vintage pieces rather than serial numbers, and from around 2021 began phasing in microchips instead of visible date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. If a dust bag or pochette is not listed there, it is not included with this particular piece.
