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 does the Saleya PM hold day to day? A: This piece measures approximately 26 × 24 × 14 cm, so it comfortably carries a long wallet, smartphone, keys, a compact umbrella, and a small pouch, plus a small tablet or e‑reader around 8–9 inches. A4 documents and 13‑inch laptops do not fit flat; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: The Saleya PM is primarily a handheld or crook‑of‑arm tote. With an approximate 15 cm handle drop, some may slip it onto the shoulder over light layers for short periods, but it isn’t designed as a true shoulder bag.
Q: Is the Saleya line still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: No. The Saleya was introduced in the mid‑2000s and has since been discontinued; it is now available on the pre‑loved market only.
Q: What are the materials and interior layout of this model? A: It is crafted from Damier Ebene coated canvas with dark brown leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The interior is red Alcantara microfibre with two slip pockets, and the bag secures with a full top zip.
Q: Where is the date code usually found on a Saleya PM? A: On Saleya bags with Alcantara lining, the date code is typically stamped directly onto the lining near a pocket seam, or set on a small leather tab inside. It can fade with age; a torch can help locate it.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene canvas and the Alcantara lining? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid alcohol‑based products (including hand sanitiser), oils, and abrasive cleaners. For the microfibre lining, start with a lint roller or soft brush; for light marks, dab gently with water on a soft cloth and allow to air dry. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: Are the handle edges (glazing) prone to wear and can they be repaired? A: The brown edge glazing that seals the handle edges can show wear with friction or heavy loads over time. Louis Vuitton can assess and offer repair options; costs and availability vary by region. You can visit a boutique or request service through their repair programme.
Q: How secure is the opening? A: The Saleya PM features a full zip closure and an organised interior with slip pockets, offering secure everyday carry.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is detailed in the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes, supported by a reputable third‑party tool. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
