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 Antheia Ixia PM? A: With approximate measurements of 34 × 30 × 14 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, earbuds and a small cosmetics pouch. A5 diaries fit easily and A4 documents can lie flat. Many 13-inch laptops in a slim sleeve can fit with careful placement, though the zip opening may make bulkier devices snug. A 500 ml bottle fits best horizontally; upright placement may press against the zip. If you’d like, we can test specific items in this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? Is the strap adjustable? A: This model has dual rolled top handles for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry (approx. 10 cm drop) and a detachable shoulder strap (approx. 36 cm drop). The strap is typically not adjustable and is designed for shoulder wear; it will not sit as a true crossbody on most wearers.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior like? A: The Ixia PM features a top zip closure for everyday security. Interiors on this line generally include a combination of pockets; for this specific piece you get a black alcantara lining with one internal zip pocket and one slip pocket. Layouts can vary slightly by production year—our photos show the exact configuration.
Q: What exactly is Antheia and what are the materials on this piece? A: Antheia is a Louis Vuitton leather line introduced around 2010, notable for its monogram pattern embroidered into soft lambskin or suede. This bag is crafted in taupe Monogram Antheia suede with black leather trim and silver‑tone hardware, labelled Made in Italy.
Q: How should I care for Antheia suede and the alcantara lining? A: Keep the bag away from heavy rain and oils. If lightly damp, blot gently (do not rub) and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Refresh the nap with a clean, soft suede brush; use a high‑quality suede protector very sparingly and always test on a discreet area first. Avoid colour transfer from dark denim or heavily dyed fabrics. For the lining, shake out debris and use a lint roller or soft brush; spot‑clean sparingly only if needed.
Q: Will the embroidered monogram flatten or fade over time? A: On suede Antheia pieces, the raised embroidery can soften or appear flatter with normal wear and brushing. This is expected for the material and not a defect; minimise abrasion against rough surfaces and store the bag lightly stuffed to help preserve the texture.
Q: Is the Antheia Ixia PM still produced? A: The Antheia line was introduced around 2010 and the Ixia PM is generally considered a discontinued style. Today it is found primarily on the pre‑loved market, with details varying slightly by year and material (suede or lambskin).
Q: Does this bag have a date code or a microchip? Where would the code be? A: Early‑2010s Antheia pieces typically have a date code rather than a microchip. On alcantara‑lined bags, the code is often heat‑stamped directly on the lining or on/behind a small leather tab near a pocket. From about March 2021 Louis Vuitton transitioned to embedded microchips instead of visible date codes on new items.
Q: What accessories are included with this listing? A: As listed under Accessories for this exact piece: dust bag, detachable shoulder strap, padlock and key clochette. If an item isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included. Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts before listing.
Q: How should I store the bag to maintain its shape and finish? A: Store it upright, lightly stuffed with acid‑free tissue, inside a breathable dust bag. Keep it away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid hanging by the strap for long periods; if storing with hardware touching suede or leather, place a soft cloth between contact points to prevent impressions.
