Perfect for weekday commutes and city errands alike, the Louis Vuitton Damier Neverfull MM lends polished ease to everyday dressing. Its roomy silhouette keeps essentials close from desk to dinner, while the timeless brown check elevates weekend plans, from brunch to browsing and beyond.
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 Neverfull MM? A: As a true everyday tote, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, a continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a cosmetics pouch, a small water bottle, A4 documents and a tablet; many users also carry a slim 13-inch laptop. For this exact piece, please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check.
Q: Will it fit a laptop (13–15 inches)? A: Most 13-inch laptops fit well, and some slim 14-inch models will also fit. A slim 15-inch may fit diagonally but adds weight and can strain the thin straps over time. We recommend using a protective sleeve and avoiding overloading for comfort and longevity—if you’d like, we can test your device against this bag’s dimensions.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Neverfull MM has an open top with a hook/clasp closure and adjustable side laces to cinch the silhouette. Inside, you’ll find a spacious main compartment with one zipped pocket and the signature striped textile lining—ideal for everyday organisation. For valuables, use the interior zip pocket and the included pouch.
Q: Are the shoulder straps adjustable or crossbody‑friendly? A: The dual flat shoulder straps are not adjustable and are designed for shoulder carry (not crossbody). On this piece, the handle drop is approximately 20 cm, which sits comfortably over most light jackets and coats.
Q: Does this item come with the detachable pouch? A: Yes—this specific listing includes a detachable pouch (see “Accessories”). It’s useful as a catch‑all inside the tote or as a slim clutch on its own.
Q: What does the date code AR2183 mean on this bag? A: Louis Vuitton used a week‑and‑year date code format from 2007 to early 2021. “AR” indicates production in France; “2183” decodes to the 28th week of 2013. From around March 2021, LV transitioned to embedded microchips rather than visible date codes, so this 2013 piece correctly carries a code.
Q: What materials are used on the Damier Ebène Neverfull, and how do they differ from Monogram versions? A: The body is hard‑wearing coated canvas with dark brown, treated leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Compared with Monogram’s untreated vachetta leather, Damier Ebène’s treated trim is more water‑resistant and generally lower‑maintenance, though all leather should be kept away from heavy rain and oils to preserve the finish.
Q: Do the Damier Ebène straps/edges tend to crack or peel? A: The straps and edges are finished with glazing. With heavy loads, friction and time, some owners report wear or peeling of the glaze. To minimise this, avoid overloading, rotate shoulders, and store the bag stuffed and upright. Louis Vuitton boutiques or reputable leather specialists can assess reglazing or strap replacement on a case‑by‑case basis.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas, leather trim and hardware? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft microfibre cloth; for a deeper clean, use a fragrance‑ and alcohol‑free wipe sparingly, then dry with a cloth. Keep the leather trim away from moisture and potential colour transfer; condition smooth leather sparingly after spot‑testing. Store stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, with straps resting flat to avoid impressions. Protect hardware from rubbing during storage to reduce surface scratches.
Q: Is the Neverfull MM discontinued? Why is it sometimes hard to buy new? A: The Neverfull MM is not discontinued, but in recent years many styles have moved to a waitlist model with in‑store purchase or collection. Boutique availability varies by region and season; the pre‑loved market is often the quickest way to secure specific prints like Damier Ebène. We’re happy to advise on current wait times and availability.
