Designed for everyday elegance, the Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM in Damier Ebene is ideal for the commute, school run, and weekend shopping. Spacious yet sleek, it transitions from office to brunch and also makes a chic carry-on for city breaks—keeping essentials close while elevating any look.
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: With approximate measurements of 44 × 29 × 16 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a cosmetics pouch, a 500 ml water bottle, an A5 diary and a tablet. Many users also place A4 documents/folders horizontally. A 13‑inch laptop generally fits flat; we recommend a slim protective sleeve and a bag organiser to distribute weight. If you’d like a tailored fit check for a specific device, just ask and we’ll test this exact piece.
Q: Is it suitable for the commute and as an airline carry‑on? A: Yes—its open‑top tote design with shoulder straps makes it a popular work and travel companion. It typically fits under most airline seats when not overstuffed. For commuting or flights, keep the bag upright and use the interior zipped pocket or a small zip pouch for valuables.
Q: Will it comfortably carry a 13‑inch laptop? Any strap concerns? A: The MM usually accommodates a 13‑inch laptop placed flat. Use a slim sleeve and avoid overloading; sustained heavy weights can accelerate wear at the strap edges and top trim. A bag organiser helps distribute weight and maintain structure.
Q: Does this listing include the detachable pouch? A: Many Neverfull bags from around 2013 onwards came with a removable pouch; earlier pieces typically did not. This specific listing states “Accessories: dust bag,” so a pouch is not included unless explicitly mentioned.
Q: Can I cinch the sides, and will that mark the bag? A: Yes—the side laces allow you to cinch the silhouette for a slimmer profile or release for maximum capacity. Light creasing where the canvas folds can develop with frequent cinching; this is cosmetic and expected. Store the bag uncinched and lightly stuffed to help the canvas relax.
Q: What is Damier Ebene and how do I care for it? A: Damier Ebene is Louis Vuitton’s brown checkerboard coated canvas paired with dark, treated leather trim—known for being low‑maintenance and resilient. Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaners and alcohol wipes. Condition the leather sparingly with a suitable neutral product after testing on a discreet area. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag with straps supported.
Q: How secure is the closure and what does the interior look like? A: The Neverfull features an open top with a central hook/clasp. Inside, Damier Ebene versions typically have a red striped textile lining and a large zipped pocket for valuables. For extra security, use the interior zip pocket or add a small pouch or organiser.
Q: What does the date code FL0151 mean on this bag? A: For bags produced roughly between 2007 and 2021, Louis Vuitton used two letters (factory/country) followed by four digits. “FL” denotes France; “0151” indicates the 5th week of 2011. From around 2021 LV transitioned from visible date codes to embedded microchips. This piece carries the earlier date code format.
Q: What are the carry options and handle drop? A: This is a shoulder tote with dual flat straps that are not adjustable. The handle drop on this exact piece is approximately 22 cm, suitable for shoulder or hand/crook‑of‑arm carry. It isn’t designed for crossbody wear.
Q: The description notes scuffing/cracking on the trim and handles—can this be improved? A: Minor scuffs and edge‑glazing wear can often be refreshed by a skilled leather specialist. Louis Vuitton boutiques may offer repairs or part replacements subject to assessment and parts availability; lead times and costs vary by region. In the meantime, avoid heavy loads and prolonged friction to slow further wear. We’re happy to advise repair options for you.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories” for this listing: dust bag. If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and the date code/microchip era—we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
