Ideal for daily city errands and brunch-to-evening plans, the Louis Vuitton Sully PM adds effortless polish with iconic Monogram coated canvas and Vachetta leather trim. A single flat shoulder strap, zip closure and three internal slip pockets keep essentials organised. Vintage and in very good condition, finished with gold-tone hardware.
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 Monogram Sully PM? A: As a medium hobo, it comfortably holds daily essentials: a large smartphone, continental wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch and an A5 diary/notebook. A compact water bottle can fit; A4 folders and laptops are generally too large due to the curved zip opening and hobo silhouette. Please refer to the Measurements on this page (approx. 32 × 25 × 10 cm) for guidance or contact us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit an iPad or small tablet? A: Most standard tablets (e.g., iPad, iPad Air/11-inch iPad Pro without a bulky case) typically fit when placed horizontally. Thicker keyboard cases may be snug. 13-inch laptops are not recommended.
Q: Is the strap adjustable, and can it be worn crossbody? A: The Sully PM features a single flat vachetta shoulder strap designed for shoulder carry. It is not adjustable and does not include a long crossbody strap. The handle drop on this piece is approximately 8 cm, which suits hand or crook-of-arm carry and sits close on the shoulder.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It has a zip-top main compartment for everyday security. Inside, this piece features three slip pockets to organise smaller items. Our listing photos show the exact layout.
Q: What materials is this model made from and how will they age? A: The Sully PM is crafted in Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas with untreated vachetta leather trim and gold-tone hardware. Coated canvas is robust and wipeable; vachetta leather naturally develops a honey patina over time and is sensitive to water, oils and sunlight.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and vachetta leather? A: Wipe coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. Keep vachetta away from rain and dark denim (to prevent colour transfer). If lightly wet, blot—don’t rub—and let it air-dry away from heat. Use a high-quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly and only after testing on a discreet area. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag and avoid prolonged strap pressure to minimise impressions.
Q: Is the Sully PM still produced? A: The classic Monogram Sully PM is generally considered discontinued, so the pre-loved market is the best way to find specific configurations and years. Availability can vary by region and season for archival or occasional reissues.
Q: Where are the Louis Vuitton markings and codes, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic LV bags have an interior heat-stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” and country of origin). Older pieces typically include a date code on a small leather tab or along an interior seam; from around 2021, Louis Vuitton transitioned to an embedded microchip instead of a visible date code. We’re happy to share close-ups and help date this specific piece on request.
Q: Is the Sully PM comfortable to wear on the shoulder? A: Yes—its single flat strap distributes weight well and the hobo silhouette forms to the body. As the bag softens with use, it may sit slightly lower on the shoulder. Avoid overfilling to maintain comfort and shape.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: For this listing we include the dust bag. If an accessory isn’t mentioned under “Accessories,” it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip (depending on era) and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
