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 Epi Noé PM? A: With an approximate footprint of 25 × 31 × 17 cm, it comfortably carries a long wallet, smartphone, sunglasses case, keys, a compact cosmetics pouch, and a 500 ml water bottle. A small tablet (up to about 11 inches) can fit; however, A4 folders and 13-inch laptops are not recommended due to the bag’s height and drawstring opening.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: The classic Noé PM has an adjustable shoulder strap designed for on-shoulder carry. Typical drop settings are around the shoulder range; it is generally not long enough to wear crossbody for most people.
Q: What does the date code AR0956 indicate? A: AR denotes manufacture in France. For codes used in the 1990–2006 period, the first and third digits show the month and the second and fourth digits show the year—so 0 and 5 indicate May, and 9 and 6 indicate 1996. This piece was made in France in May 1996.
Q: How durable and water-resistant is Epi leather? A: Epi is a textured, dyed-through leather valued for its scratch resistance and structured feel. It is water-resistant enough for light rain and everyday use, but not fully waterproof—wipe dry promptly after exposure and avoid soaking.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid solvents, oils, or alcohol-based cleaners. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat, and keep the drawstring relaxed when storing to minimise creasing.
Q: Does this Noé PM have an interior pocket? A: Interior layouts vary by production era. Many Epi Petit Noé pieces include a microfibre/Alcantara lining with a small zipped pocket, while some earlier versions are simpler. Please review our photos and the product information on this page for the exact configuration of this item.
Q: Is the Noé PM the same as the Petit Noé? A: Yes. PM stands for “petit modèle” (small model) and in the classic Noé line it corresponds to the Petit Noé size—compact yet roomy enough for daily essentials.
Q: How does the classic Noé PM compare to the modern NéoNoé? A: The classic Noé PM is a slouchier bucket with a single open compartment and shoulder strap. The NéoNoé (launched later) is more structured, typically adds a central zipped compartment or pouch, and features an adjustable strap that can lengthen for crossbody wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this piece, the product information notes padlock and keys. If a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share further product information on request.
