This vintage Louis Vuitton Salina GM in Monogram canvas with Rubis patent accents is a striking carryall for busy city days or weekend escapes. In very good overall condition, it features dual shoulder straps, a secure clasp closure and a practical red interior with a zipped pocket. An elegant choice for travel or everyday wear, adding a pop of colour to classic looks.
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 Salina GM? A: With approximate measurements of 38 × 30 × 18 cm, it comfortably carries A4 documents, a 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve, a purse, phone, make-up pouch, and a small water bottle. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Does this model have a zip or a clasp at the top? A: The Salina GM features a clasp closure at the top rather than a full zip. Inside, you will find a red canvas lining with a zipped pocket and additional slip pockets for organisation.
Q: Is the Rubis Salina GM still in production? A: The Rubis Salina GM was released as a limited edition and is no longer part of the current Louis Vuitton line-up. Availability is primarily on the pre-loved market. This particular piece’s date code indicates it was produced in late 2007.
Q: Is it comfortable to wear on the shoulder? A: Yes. It is designed with dual flat shoulder straps and an approximate 24 cm handle drop, making it suitable for shoulder carry—even over light outerwear.
Q: Will it fit a 13-inch laptop? A: In most cases, yes. The width and height typically accommodate a 13-inch laptop in a slim protective sleeve. As the top is a clasped, open style, we recommend using a sleeve and placing the laptop horizontally for ease and protection.
Q: What are the key materials and how should I care for them? A: The exterior combines monogram coated canvas, vachetta leather trim, and red patent leather accents. Gently wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth; keep vachetta away from water and oils to prevent spotting; and avoid prolonged contact between patent leather and darker materials to minimise colour transfer. Store the bag stuffed and away from direct heat or humidity.
Q: The red patent leather shows some peeling—can this be repaired? A: Peeling on aged patent leather can sometimes be improved by professional restoration, but outcomes vary with severity. DIY fixes and solvents are not recommended. For assessment and repair options, consult Louis Vuitton’s care services or a trusted luxury repair specialist.
Q: What does the date code RC4077 mean? A: RC indicates an Italian workshop, and 4077 means the 47th week of 2007. This aligns with the Made in Italy stamp on the bag.
Q: What items are included with this piece? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this item, a luggage tag is included. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included—please contact us if you would like confirmation.
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 and can provide additional details on request.
