Perfect for weekday commutes and weekend city strolls, the Louis Vuitton Damier Saleya PM brings polished ease to smart-casual plans. Its dual handles and top zip keep essentials to hand, while the Damier Ebene canvas complements everything from tailored looks to denim.
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 are the key measurements of the Saleya PM and how does it carry? A: This piece measures approximately 26 cm (width at the base) × 23 cm (height) × 14 cm (depth), with a handle drop around 16 cm. The trapezoid shape flares at the top, so the opening is typically wider than the base (often around the low‑to‑mid 30 cm range). It is designed primarily for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry, with some being able to wear it on the shoulder over light layers.
Q: What typically fits inside this size? A: Everyday essentials such as a compact wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, small cosmetics pouch, A5 diary/notebook, and a small water bottle fit comfortably. A small tablet or e‑reader around 8–9 inches also fits. A4 documents and 13‑inch laptops do not fit flat and are not recommended for this PM size.
Q: Is the Saleya PM still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: No. The Saleya line was introduced in the mid‑2000s and has since been discontinued. It is now found on the pre‑loved market.
Q: What is the material and lining on this model? A: The exterior is Damier Ebene coated canvas with dark brown treated leather trim and gold‑toned hardware. The interior is a red Alcantara microfibre lining with two slip pockets, and the bag closes with a secure top zip.
Q: Can the PM be worn on the shoulder? A: The PM’s handle drop is around 15–16 cm. Some users can wear it on the shoulder with light clothing, but most find it most comfortable handheld or in the crook of the arm. If you prefer an easy shoulder fit with layers, the MM size is usually better.
Q: Does this item have a date code or a microchip? A: Many vintage Saleya PM bags have a stamped date code, typically on a small leather tab inside the pocket. Louis Vuitton phased out visible date codes from March 2021 in favour of embedded microchips, but this vintage model may have a code. If present, we photograph and note it in the product information.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene canvas and leather trim? A: Coated canvas is durable and light. Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry gently. Avoid alcohol‑based products, oils, and prolonged contact with colour‑transfer‑prone textiles. The dark brown treated leather trim is more water‑resistant than untreated vachetta but should still be kept away from heavy rain and heat sources.
Q: Any tips for caring for the red Alcantara lining? A: Start with a lint roller or soft brush to remove debris. For general refresh, lightly wipe with a well‑wrung damp cloth and let it air dry, then gently brush to lift the nap. Avoid saturating the material and harsh chemicals; for difficult stains, consult a leather/textile specialist.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information for this specific listing shows a dust bag. Everything included is always listed under product information; if an item isn’t listed there, it isn’t included.
Q: How is authenticity guaranteed? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point inspection by in‑house experts, reviewing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional product information on request.
