An elegant choice for dinners, weddings or city strolls, the Louis Vuitton Favorite PM in Monogram transitions seamlessly from day to evening. In very good vintage condition with a light Vachetta patina, it offers gold‑tone hardware, a magnetic flap, a leather shoulder strap and short chain, plus a burgundy fabric interior with pocket to keep essentials organised.
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 Favorite PM? A: This piece measures approximately 21 × 12 × 3 cm, so it comfortably carries the daily essentials: a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few small items like lipstick or tissues. Bulky cases or full‑size sunglasses may be a tight fit—packing slim helps maximise space.
Q: How can I wear it—crossbody, shoulder, or as a clutch? A: The Favorite PM is designed to be versatile. Use the removable long leather strap for shoulder or crossbody wear, the short chain for hand or short‑shoulder carry, or remove both to style it as a clutch.
Q: Are the chain and leather straps removable and interchangeable? A: Yes. Both the short chain and the long leather strap can be detached. You can also attach a compatible replacement strap to the side D‑rings if you prefer a different length or material.
Q: Is the magnetic flap closure secure for daily use? A: The front flap features a magnetic closure that keeps essentials secure during everyday wear. As with any flap bag, we recommend storing smaller items in the interior pocket and keeping the bag upright in crowded settings.
Q: What is the interior like on this model? A: The Favorite PM typically features a burgundy fabric lining with a small slip pocket for cards or receipts, giving quick access to your most‑used items.
Q: Is the Favorite PM still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: The classic Favorite PM in Monogram canvas is no longer part of Louis Vuitton’s current canvas collection and is usually found on the pre‑owned market. Louis Vuitton now offers newer “Favorite” styles in leather with updated details.
Q: What does the date code DU0193 mean on this item? A: DU indicates a French workshop. The numbers follow the post‑2007 LV format, where the first and third digits indicate the week and the second and fourth indicate the year. DU0193 therefore corresponds to week 09 of 2013 in France.
Q: How does the PM compare to the MM size? A: PM stands for “Petit Modèle” (small model) and MM is “Moyen Modèle” (medium model). The MM offers more width and height for extra capacity, while the PM is better for pared‑back essentials and evening wear.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or alcohol‑based products. Vachetta leather is untreated and will develop a natural patina; keep it dry, avoid prolonged sunlight, and store the bag loosely stuffed in its dust bag in a cool, dry place.
Q: What is included with this piece? A: Everything provided is listed in the product information section for this item. For this piece, it includes a dust bag, original receipt, and detachable shoulder strap; if an item isn’t listed there, it isn’t included.
