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 Twin GM? A: With approximate dimensions of 24 × 12 × 3 cm, it comfortably carries a large smartphone, slim cardholder or compact wallet, keys, and a few small essentials like lip balm or hand sanitiser. Bulky items and hard sunglasses cases are not recommended. Please refer to the Measurements for exact sizing.
Q: How can I wear this bag? A: The Twin GM can be styled three ways: crossbody, on the shoulder, or as a clutch by removing the strap. The slim vachetta strap gives an elegant, minimal look that works for day-to-evening wear.
Q: Is the strap detachable and adjustable? A: The original strap is detachable. On most examples it is adjustable via a small buckle, with an approximate drop around 50 cm, which typically suits shoulder or crossbody wear. Always check the photos and the product information on this page to confirm the exact strap configuration and measurements for this specific piece.
Q: Is the Twin GM discontinued? A: Yes, the Pochette Twin line (including the GM size) is discontinued by Louis Vuitton, so pieces are now sourced on the pre-loved market only.
Q: What does the date code CA1909 mean? A: For Louis Vuitton, CA indicates a Spanish workshop and 1909 denotes the 19th week of 2009. Date codes are batch identifiers rather than unique serial numbers, and from 2021 Louis Vuitton began phasing in microchips on newer items. Our team uses multi-point checks beyond date codes to verify authenticity.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap features a concealed magnetic fastening designed to stay closed during normal daily use, while allowing quick one‑handed access to your essentials.
Q: Can I swap the strap for another one (e.g., a chain or a wider canvas strap)? A: Yes. The Twin GM accepts compatible clip‑on straps, including Louis Vuitton replacement straps or third‑party options, so you can customise drop length or look. Please verify the hardware style and consult the product information to see what is included with this item.
Q: What is the difference between the PM and GM sizes? A: The GM is the larger version (roughly 24 × 12 × 3 cm), fitting a big smartphone and a few extras. The PM is more compact (around 19 × 10 × 2–3 cm) and is best for just the essentials. If you need more capacity or prefer crossbody wear, most shoppers choose the GM.
Q: How should I care for the materials? A: Monogram coated canvas can be wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dried immediately. Vachetta leather is untreated and will develop a patina; avoid water, oils, and alcohol‑based products, and store away from direct sunlight. For Alcantara (microfibre) lining, gently brush to lift dust and spot‑clean with a lightly damp cloth using mild soap if needed; always test on a hidden area first. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. If an item such as a box or dust bag is not shown there, it is not included. Please contact us if you would like us to confirm any details.
