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 Randonné(e) PM? A: With approximate measurements of 36 × 30 × 15 cm for this piece, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, long/continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch, a 500 ml water bottle and an A5 diary. Capacity is helped by the tall, bucket silhouette. For a tailored fit check for a specific item (e.g., a particular bottle or pouch), just ask and we’ll test this exact bag for you.
Q: Will it fit A4 documents, a tablet or a 13-inch laptop? A: A4 papers/folders can usually fit vertically, though the drawstring opening narrows the top, so firm folders may need a slight angle. Standard tablets (e.g., iPad, iPad Air/11-inch Pro) fit comfortably. A 13-inch laptop may fit without a bulky sleeve but isn’t recommended due to the unpadded structure and drawstring opening; a smaller 11–12 inch device is more practical. Compare your device to the Measurements listed or ask us for a quick fit check.
Q: Is this a backpack or shoulder bag, and are the straps adjustable? A: The Randonné(e) PM was designed as a tall, drawstring bucket that can be worn either on one shoulder as a sling or configured for backpack-style carry on some versions. The leather strap(s) are adjustable, offering a range of drops; on this piece we list an approximate strap drop of 27 cm under Measurements. Fit and strap routing vary slightly by production and setup—if you’d like tips on achieving your preferred carry, let us know and we’ll advise for this exact bag.
Q: How secure is the closure and what’s the interior like? A: It features a leather drawstring that cinches the top for everyday security and easy access. The interior is a brown textile with a single main compartment (some examples may have a small pocket; layouts can vary by year). For commuting, we recommend keeping valuables in a zipped pouch inside.
Q: What is it made from and how does it wear? A: The body is Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas—lightweight and highly durable—trimmed in natural, untreated Vachetta leather with gold‑tone hardware. Coated canvas resists light rain; however, Vachetta is sensitive to water and oils and will develop a honey patina over time. Hairline scratches on hardware are normal with use.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and canvas? A: Keep the leather away from moisture, hand creams and colour transfer from dark denim. If it gets lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry away from direct heat. Wipe canvas with a dry, lint‑free cloth; avoid harsh cleaners or alcohol. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, with the strap protected from pressing against the leather to minimise imprints.
Q: Is the Randonné(e) line still produced? A: No—Randonné(e) styles are generally discontinued and sourced today on the pre‑loved market. Availability, sizing (PM vs GM) and small configuration details can vary by era, making vintage examples like this sought‑after for their distinctive bucket‑backpack silhouette.
Q: Where is the date code and what does AS1915 mean? A: On vintage Louis Vuitton, the date code is typically found on a small leather tab or along an interior seam. In the 1990s format, the 1st and 3rd digits show the month and the 2nd and 4th digits show the year. “AS1915” decodes to November 1995, and “AS” indicates a French workshop—consistent with the “Made in France” interior stamp. Note that date codes are not unique serial numbers; we authenticate using a holistic, multi‑point inspection.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under “Accessories” on this page. For this specific piece, we note “no accessories.” If you need a dust bag or an organiser recommendation for storage and shape, we’re happy to suggest options.
Q: How do you authenticate and what if I need service later? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code and overall construction. For aftercare, Louis Vuitton boutiques and reputable leather specialists may offer repairs (e.g., drawstring or Vachetta components) subject to assessment and parts availability. We’re happy to advise on typical options for this model.
