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 Damier Portobello PM? A: As a medium hobo tote, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve, a small cosmetics pouch, an A5 diary/notebook and a 500 ml water bottle. A4 documents usually fit, though the curved zip opening favours slimmer folders. Please compare your items with the Measurements shown or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: Standard tablets (e.g., iPad, iPad Air/11-inch iPad Pro) typically fit well. A 13-inch laptop is generally a squeeze due to the curved zip opening and softly structured hobo silhouette; very slim 12-inch devices may fit without a bulky sleeve. For certainty, compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements listed or ask us to perform a quick fit test.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or removable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The Portobello PM features a single flat leather shoulder strap that is not adjustable and typically not removable. It’s designed for shoulder carry rather than crossbody. We list the strap drop under Measurements (approx. 15 cm); if you’d like us to advise how it sits on you, just ask.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It has a zip-top main compartment for solid everyday security. Interiors commonly include a zipped pocket and one or more slip pockets; exact layouts can vary slightly by production year. Our photos and description show the precise configuration of this piece—use the interior zip pocket for smaller valuables when commuting.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have, and where is it made? A: This listing specifies Damier Ébène coated canvas with dark brown leather trim, gold-tone hardware and a brown Alcantara lining. It is stamped Made in France. Our photos and description detail the exact finish and features of this item.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ébène coated canvas, leather trim and Alcantara lining? A: Coated canvas is durable—wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Keep leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag; avoid hanging it by the strap for long periods. For Alcantara, use a clean, soft brush or lint roller to lift dust; avoid liquids and let any minor dampness air-dry naturally. Protect hardware from rubbing during storage to minimise hairline scratches.
Q: Is the Portobello PM still produced? A: The Portobello line is generally discontinued, so the pre-loved market is the best way to find this Damier Ébène PM configuration.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags feature an interior heat-stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” and country of origin). Older pieces include a date code—this item shows SP5112, indicating France and the 51st week of 2012. From around 2021 LV transitioned to embedded microchips instead of visible codes. Placement can vary—contact us for close-up photos of this exact stamp and code.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece is delivered with no accessories. Anything included (e.g., dust bag, box or additional strap for other models) would be listed under “Accessories.” If something isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all pieces we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
