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 fits inside the Louis Vuitton Raspail PM? A: The Raspail PM is a compact yet functional tote, ideal for carrying daily essentials. It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a continental wallet, a cosmetic pouch, keys, and a tablet (such as an iPad). Due to its tapered shape and height (approx. 22 cm), larger items like a 13-inch laptop are typically too tall to fit comfortably with the zipper closed. Please refer to the Measurements on this page or contact us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear the Raspail PM on my shoulder? A: The bag features dual rolled leather handles with a drop of approximately 15–18 cm. While it can be worn snugly on the shoulder by some wearers (especially with lighter clothing), it is often carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. We recommend checking the handle drop measurement against your own preference to ensure the fit works for you.
Q: How does the Raspail differ from the Neverfull? A: While both are classic Monogram totes, the Raspail offers more structure and security. The key difference is the Raspail’s full-length top zipper, which keeps belongings secure, unlike the open-top Neverfull. The Raspail also features sturdy rolled leather handles and distinctive handle patches, giving it a more tailored look compared to the Neverfull’s flat straps and relaxed silhouette.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The Raspail PM is designed with a single zip-top closure, providing excellent security for your valuables in crowded settings or during travel. This is a signature feature of the Raspail line.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: This piece is crafted from Louis Vuitton’s durable Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta cowhide leather trim and handles. The interior is lined in a burgundy textile. Vachetta leather develops a honey-coloured patina over time, which is a natural characteristic of the material.
Q: Is the Raspail PM still produced? A: No, the Raspail line has been discontinued by Louis Vuitton, making it a sought-after piece on the pre-loved market for those who prefer a zipped alternative to the Neverfull.
Q: Where are the brand markings and date code located? A: Authentic Raspail bags feature a “Louis Vuitton Paris” heat stamp inside. This specific piece has the date code CA0172, indicating it was manufactured in Spain in the 17th week of 2012. We are happy to provide close-up photos of these details on request.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This item includes a dust bag. Please note that unless an accessory is explicitly listed under the “Accessories” section, it is not included.
