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 Tivoli PM? A: Despite its name (Petite Modèle), the Tivoli PM features a pleated "dumpling" shape that offers surprising capacity. It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a large smartphone, a continental wallet, a cosmetics pouch, keys, sunglasses in a hard case, and a compact umbrella. While it can accommodate an iPad Mini, it is generally too compact for A4 documents or laptops.
Q: Can I wear this bag on my shoulder? A: The Tivoli PM is designed primarily as a handheld or crook-of-the-arm bag. The dual rolled leather handles have a drop of approximately 10 cm, which is typically too tight for comfortable shoulder wear. If you require a shoulder bag, the larger Tivoli GM (which features adjustable handles) would be the better choice.
Q: Is the closure secure? A: Yes, the bag features a secure top zip closure adorned with a distinctive round gold-tone LV medallion pull. The zipper line is slightly curved to follow the bag’s shape; while this adds to its feminine silhouette, it may sometimes require two hands to open or close smoothly.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: It is crafted from Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram coated canvas, which is durable and water-resistant. The trim and handles are made from natural Vachetta cowhide leather, which develops a honey-coloured patina over time. The bag is finished with gold-tone hardware, including five protective studs on the base.
Q: What is the difference between the Tivoli PM and GM? A: The PM is the smaller version with fixed-length rolled handles intended for hand carrying. The GM (Grand Modèle) is significantly larger, features adjustable handles that allow for shoulder wear, and offers greater interior capacity.
Q: Is this model still produced? A: No, the Tivoli line was discontinued by Louis Vuitton around 2014–2015. It remains a highly sought-after style on the secondary market due to its classic, feminine design and practical everyday size.
Q: What condition is this specific vintage piece in? A: This item is in Good condition. As is typical for this model, the Vachetta leather has developed a visible patina with some darkening and scuffing on the handles and piping. The hardware is shiny with light scratches, and the interior shows light traces of use. Please refer to the detailed condition rating and photos on this page for a closer look.
Q: Where is the date code located on this bag? A: The date code is typically found inside one of the interior slip pockets, either on a leather tab or stamped directly into the lining. This specific piece bears the code SD3078, indicating it was manufactured in the United States in 2008.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We perform multi-point checks on materials, stitching, hardware (such as the specific zipper pull charm), stamps, and date codes to ensure authenticity. We stand behind the genuineness of all items we sell.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item is sold as the bag only and does not include additional accessories such as a dust bag or box. If an accessory is not specifically listed under the “Accessories” section, it is not included.
