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 Louis Vuitton Empreinte Audacieuse PM? A: With approximate measurements of 29 x 25 x 12 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve, a small cosmetics pouch, an A5 notebook/diary and a small water bottle. An 11-inch tablet usually fits; a 13-inch laptop is typically too large due to the curved zip opening and overall height. For certainty, compare your items with the Measurements shown or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will my iPhone Pro/Max fit? A: Yes—most Pro/Max phones fit with room for essentials. Very bulky cases can make the opening snug, so we recommend comparing your device’s dimensions with the Measurements provided or asking us to test the fit against this specific bag.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or removable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: This Audacieuse PM includes a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap for shoulder or crossbody wear, plus a single top handle for hand/arm carry. We list the drops in the Measurements section—this piece shows approximately a 43 cm strap drop and a 7 cm handle drop. If you’d like advice on how it will sit on you, just ask and we’ll help.
Q: How secure is the closure and are the padlock and keys functional? A: The bag features a zip‑top closure that provides good day‑to‑day security. The padlock and keys are functional and can secure the zipper pulls together; however, like most luxury handbags, they’re best considered a light deterrent rather than high‑security. For travel or commuting, we recommend keeping the bag upright and placing small valuables in an interior zip pocket.
Q: What is the interior layout? A: Audacieuse PM interiors typically feature a tonal striped textile lining with multiple pockets (commonly a zipped pocket and one or more slip pockets) for organisation. Layout can vary slightly by season—our listing photos show the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have, and where is it made? A: This item is crafted in burgundy Monogram Empreinte calf leather with suede accents and gold‑tone hardware, and includes a tonal striped textile lining. It is stamped Made in France. Our photos and description show the precise finish and details of this bag.
Q: How should I care for Empreinte leather, suede and hardware? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim (even with deeper shades like burgundy). Wipe Empreinte leather gently with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leather very sparingly with a neutral product after testing on a discreet area. For suede, avoid liquid products—use a clean suede brush to lift nap and remove light marks. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and place a soft cloth between strap/handle and leather to minimise imprints. Hardware can develop fine hairline scratches with normal use—avoid abrasive surfaces.
Q: Is the Audacieuse PM still produced? A: The Audacieuse in Monogram Empreinte is generally discontinued. The pre‑loved market is the best way to find specific colours and configurations like this burgundy PM.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags have an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” and country of origin). Older pieces typically feature a date code on a small leather tab or along an interior seam; from around 2021 LV transitioned to an embedded microchip instead of a visible code. Placement and format vary—contact us for close‑up photos and assistance in interpreting the markings for this exact item.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Included accessories for this piece are listed as: dust bag, padlock, keys, clochette and a detachable shoulder strap. If you’d like us to confirm anything, just ask and we’ll verify what’s provided.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
