Designed for effortless daily wear, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Totally PM is ideal for city commutes, shopping trips, or brunch. In very good vintage condition, its monogram coated canvas with Vachetta leather trim and gold-tone hardware pairs practicality with style, offering easy shoulder carry and secure top-zip access with handy side pockets for on-the-go essentials.
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 Totally PM? A: With approximate measurements of 27 × 25 × 10 cm, the Totally PM is ideal for daily essentials: a large mobile phone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, small cosmetics pouch, A5 diary/notebook and a compact umbrella. A small tablet (e.g., iPad mini/10-inch class) usually fits; A4 documents generally won’t lie flat due to the height and zip opening. For the best guidance, compare your items to the Measurements shown for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a water bottle or umbrella? A: A slim 330–500 ml bottle or a compact folding umbrella fits best placed vertically in the main compartment. The tall exterior side pockets are great for quick-access items like a phone or receipts; slim bottles may fit there, but for balance we recommend heavier items go inside the main compartment.
Q: Are the straps adjustable or suitable for crossbody? A: The Totally PM has dual flat shoulder straps that are fixed (not adjustable) and designed for shoulder carry rather than crossbody. This particular bag lists an approximate strap drop of 23 cm, which typically sits comfortably under the arm—even over light layers.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It features a top zip for secure everyday use. Inside, you’ll usually find slip pockets for organisation, complemented by two exterior side pockets for quick access. Our listing photos show the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What materials is this model made from? Is the canvas waterproof? A: The Totally PM is crafted in Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The coated canvas offers good everyday water resistance, but it isn’t fully waterproof; the untreated Vachetta leather is more sensitive to moisture and will develop a honey patina over time.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and hardware? A: Avoid heavy rain and colour transfer from dark denim onto the light leather. If the leather gets lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly and only after testing on a discreet spot. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and keep hardware from rubbing against the canvas to minimise fine scratches.
Q: Is the Totally PM still produced? A: The Totally line (PM/MM/GM) is generally discontinued and now found on the pre‑loved market rather than in current boutiques. Availability can vary by region and season.
Q: What does the date code DU2079 indicate on this bag? A: For pieces made between 2007 and around 2021, Louis Vuitton used a date‑code format where the digits indicate the production week and year. “DU2079” decodes to the 27th week of 2009, with “DU” denoting a French factory. Note that from around 2021, LV transitioned to embedded microchips instead of visible date codes, but earlier pieces like this one carry a code.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing is sold as the bag only; no accessories are included. Any extras (such as a dust bag or box) would be listed under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate at A Retro Tale? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of everything we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
