A refined choice for weekday city errands and smart lunches, the Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Sistina PM sits neatly on the shoulder, bringing vintage charm and polished ease from desk to dinner with its signature checks and gold‑tone hardware.
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 measurements and how does it carry? A: Approx. 22 × 34 × 13 cm with dual flat shoulder straps of about 21 cm drop (adjustable). It is designed to be worn on the shoulder and is not intended as a crossbody bag.
Q: What typically fits inside the Sistina PM? A: Daily essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, compact umbrella, a small water bottle and a small tablet (roughly 8-inch) will fit comfortably. A4 documents or a 13-inch laptop are generally too large for this PM size.
Q: How does the closure work and is it secure? A: The bag features a fold-over flap with a push‑lock buckle and a top zip under the flap for added security. To open, press the lock release and lift the flap; to close, gently align before securing to minimise scratches on the plate.
Q: What is the material and how should I care for it? A: The exterior is Damier Ebene coated canvas with dark brown leather trim and a red microfibre interior. Wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water only, avoid solvents and harsh cleaners, and store loosely stuffed in its dust bag away from heat and sunlight. Do not overfill the bag to preserve its shape.
Q: Is Damier Ebene canvas rain‑friendly? A: Coated canvas is water‑resistant and suitable for light rain, but it is not fully waterproof. Wipe moisture off promptly and avoid saturating the leather trim.
Q: Does the leather on Damier Ebene patinate like vachetta? A: The dark Ebene leather is treated, so it does not develop a pale honey patina like natural vachetta. It may soften and show light surface marks over time; avoid oils, colour-transfer and prolonged direct sunlight.
Q: What does the date code FL2079 mean? A: For Louis Vuitton items made between 2007 and 2021, the first and third digits indicate the production week and the second and fourth indicate the year. FL2079 therefore points to France, made in the 27th week of 2009. Note that a date code alone does not confirm authenticity; it is one indicator among many.
Q: Is the Sistina PM still in production? A: No. The Sistina line was introduced around 2009 and is now discontinued, so pieces are available on the pre‑owned market only.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this specific piece, a dust bag is included as indicated on this page.
Q: Any tips for caring for the red microfibre lining? A: Use a lint roller or a soft brush to remove debris. For small marks, lightly dab with a barely damp, clean cloth and allow to air dry; avoid soaking the lining or using strong cleaners. A bag organiser can help prevent future marks.
