Perfect for daily commutes or weekend city strolls, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Totally PM brings polished ease. Compact yet practical for essentials, its secure zip and handy side pockets suit busy schedules, effortlessly complementing both casual and office attire.
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 35 × 25 × 11 cm, the PM size is ideal for daily essentials: a large smartphone, compact or continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, earbuds, a small cosmetics pouch and an iPad/iPad Air–sized tablet. A small water bottle can fit inside or in a side pocket; A4 documents generally do not lie flat due to the 25 cm height and zip opening. For a tailored fit check on this exact piece, just ask our team.
Q: Will it fit A4 documents or a laptop? A: A4 paper (29.7 × 21 cm) does not sit flat in the PM, and 11–13 inch laptops are typically too large for comfortable use. Compact tablets and e‑readers fit well. Compare your device’s dimensions with our Measurements or request a quick fit test for this specific bag.
Q: Are the shoulder straps adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The dual flat shoulder straps are not adjustable and the Totally PM is designed for shoulder carry rather than crossbody. For this piece, the listed strap drop is approximately 40 cm, which sits comfortably on most shoulders.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: The Totally PM features a zip‑top main compartment for everyday security, two exterior side pockets for quick‑access items, and interior slip pockets for organisation. Our listing photos show the exact layout of this bag.
Q: Is the Totally line still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: The Totally line has been discontinued, so pre‑loved is the best way to find this style today. Many collectors consider the Iéna tote a later alternative if you prefer a zip‑top design.
Q: What materials does this model use and how should I care for them? A: This model is crafted in Monogram coated canvas with Vachetta (untreated, vegetable‑tanned) leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Keep Vachetta away from water and oils, be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim, and store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag. If lightly damp, blot (don’t rub) and allow to air‑dry away from heat; condition smooth leather sparingly after testing on a discreet area.
Q: What does the date code FL1101 mean on this bag? A: Louis Vuitton date codes prior to around 2021 indicate place and time of production. “FL” denotes France; for codes used between 2007–2020, the first and third digits show the week and the second and fourth the year. “FL1101” therefore indicates week 10 of 2011, made in France.
Q: Does this bag have a microchip instead of a date code? A: Louis Vuitton transitioned from visible date codes to embedded microchips around 2021. Earlier pieces like this one (dated 2011) typically have a date code; newer bags may have only a microchip.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing is sold as the bag only; no accessories are included unless explicitly stated under “Accessories.” For this piece, the Accessories field reads “no accessories.”
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, date code/microchip data and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
