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 are the dimensions of the Hampstead PM? A: The Hampstead PM is a compact tote. Typical measurements are around 29 cm (W) × 23 cm (H) × 18 cm (D). Handle drop is approximately 18 cm. Minor variations can occur by production year and how measurements are taken—please refer to the Measurements on this page for this specific piece.
Q: What typically fits inside the Hampstead PM? A: It comfortably carries everyday essentials such as a large smartphone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch and an A5 diary. A small tablet (e.g. iPad mini) can fit; A4 documents and 13-inch laptops do not fit comfortably in the PM size.
Q: Can the Hampstead PM be worn on the shoulder? A: With an approximately 18 cm handle drop, some find it can sit high on the shoulder (especially without bulky layers), but most owners prefer to carry it by hand or in the crook of the arm. If easy shoulder carry is a priority, the MM size offers a roomier fit.
Q: How does the bag close and how secure is it? A: The Hampstead PM has an open top secured by a central hook clasp. Inside, there is a zipped pocket and a slip pocket for small valuables. Side snap buttons allow you to expand or taper the silhouette; many owners find these snaps hold securely during daily use.
Q: Is the Hampstead PM still in production? A: No. The Hampstead line (PM/MM/GM) was produced in the 2000s and is now discontinued, so it is available through trusted vintage and pre-owned boutiques like ours.
Q: What is the bag made of? A: It is crafted from Damier Ebene coated canvas with dark brown leather trim and a red microfibre (Alcantara) lining. The hardware is gold-tone. This combination is known for everyday durability while maintaining a refined look.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene canvas and the lining? A: Wipe coated canvas and leather trim with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately; avoid alcohol-based wipes, solvents and over-exposure to heat or sunlight. Do not over-pack the bag, and store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag. For the microfibre lining, gently brush out loose debris and spot clean lightly with a damp, lint-free cloth; for stubborn marks, consult a professional cleaner.
Q: Does this bag have a date code and what does it mean? A: Most Hampstead PM bags feature a Louis Vuitton date code that indicates when and where the item was made. On bags with microfibre lining, the code is often stamped directly on the lining or on a small leather tab. A date code is not a unique serial number and does not, on its own, authenticate a bag.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section of this page. If an item such as a dust bag or charm is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this particular piece? A: Overall very good. The exterior shows scuffing on corners and handles; the interior lining has some marks and stains; hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review all photos and the condition notes for full details.
