Perfect for polished days about town, the Louis Vuitton Damier Portobello PM takes you from commute to client lunch to weekend brunch. Carried by its single shoulder strap with a secure zip top, it keeps belongings neatly arranged in three interior pockets, while gold-toned hardware and rich brown tones complement smart-casual and workwear alike.
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 Portobello PM? A: With approximate dimensions of 32 × 30 × 13 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials such as a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small make‑up pouch, an A5 diary/notebook and a compact tablet. The tall hobo silhouette helps capacity, though the curved zip opening limits clearance for very bulky items. For this exact piece, please refer to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Will it fit A4 documents or a laptop? A: A4 papers can fit, but stiff folders may need to be placed diagonally due to the curved top. A 13‑inch laptop is typically a squeeze and not ideal for the PM; slimmer devices or 11‑inch tablets usually fit more comfortably. Compare your device’s dimensions with our Measurements and feel free to ask for a tailored fit check.
Q: Is the strap adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The Portobello PM has a single flat shoulder strap with a fixed drop (approximately 10 cm on this piece). It’s designed for shoulder carry or hand/crook‑of‑arm carry rather than crossbody.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It features a zip‑top main compartment for everyday security. Inside you’ll typically find three pockets—two slip pockets and one zipped pocket—lined in dark brown Alcantara/microfibre for easy organisation. Our listing photos show the exact configuration of this bag.
Q: What materials and hardware does this model use? A: The Portobello PM is crafted in Damier Ebene coated canvas with brown leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. This piece has a dark brown lining, which is common for Portobello in Damier Ebene.
Q: Are there different sizes in the Portobello line? A: Yes. The Portobello was produced in PM and GM sizes. The PM is the more compact, everyday option; the GM offers a roomier carry. Please check our Measurements to confirm the exact size of this piece.
Q: Is the Portobello still in production? A: The Portobello line is generally discontinued and is most often found on the pre‑loved market rather than in current boutiques. Availability varies by region and season.
Q: What does the date code SP3143 mean on this bag? A: Louis Vuitton used letter‑plus‑number date codes until around 2021. For codes from 2007–2021, the first and third digits indicate the week and the second and fourth digits indicate the year. “SP3143” decodes to week 34 of 2013, and “SP” denotes a French factory, consistent with the Made in France stamp. Newer LV items use embedded microchips instead of visible date codes.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene canvas and the leather trim? A: Coated canvas is durable and relatively water‑resistant; wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep the leather trim away from moisture and oils; condition smooth leather very sparingly with a suitable neutral product after testing on a discreet area. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid prolonged contact with dark denim or abrasive surfaces to minimise colour transfer and scuffs.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing is for the bag only—no accessories are included unless specified under “Accessories.” If you need confirmation, please contact us.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip context and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
