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 Noé GM? A: With an approx. 33 × 26 × 20 cm body, the GM is a spacious bucket bag. It comfortably holds an A4 notebook/diary, a water bottle, long wallet, cosmetic pouch, umbrella and a light jumper. A slim 13-inch laptop can fit upright in a sleeve; for daily commuting, use a padded sleeve or organiser and compare with the Measurements on this page.
Q: Is the Noé GM still sold new at Louis Vuitton? A: As of 19 May 2026, Louis Vuitton’s current Noé family on the official site shows the Noé, Petit Noé, Noé BB and NéoNoé variants. The GM size is generally sourced on the pre-loved market, making vintage pieces like this sought-after.
Q: Can I wear this crossbody? A: The classic Noé GM has a single adjustable shoulder strap intended for shoulder carry. This piece has an approx. 25 cm drop; that is typically too short for a true crossbody on most heights.
Q: Does it have interior pockets? A: Classic vintage Noé GM bags are a single open compartment without internal pockets. Many owners add a lightweight organiser insert for structure and extra compartments.
Q: What does the date code AR1923 mean? A: For pieces made from 1990–2006, digits 1 and 3 indicate the month and digits 2 and 4 indicate the year; the letters show the country. AR denotes France. AR1923 decodes to December 1993, made in France.
Q: How secure is the drawstring closure? A: When tightened and tied, the drawstring provides everyday security for a bucket bag. For added discretion and organisation, consider a pop-in organiser or zipped pouch inside.
Q: How should I care for the vachetta leather and canvas? A: Vachetta is natural, untreated leather that patinates and is sensitive to water and oils. Keep it dry and away from hand creams, perfumes and rain. If it gets damp, blot gently with a soft, light-coloured cloth and allow to air dry. Clean coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth only; avoid soaps, solvents and conditioners. Store stuffed, loosely closed, in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton replace the drawstring or perform repairs? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton offers assessments and repairs in-store and via its online repair service. Availability, timeframes and costs vary by item and region; these are confirmed after an expert examines the piece.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything supplied is listed under product information on this page. For this piece, no extra items are included. If something is not listed there (for example, a dust bag), it is not part of the sale—please contact us if you need clarification.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: External: good, with a developed vachetta patina, watermarks and scuffing to the base and trim, plus light wear to the top hem. Interior: very good with a light stain. Hardware: scratches and dullness. Please review the photos for the most accurate view.
