With dual shoulder straps, handy side pockets and a secure top zip, this vintage piece keeps essentials organised while complementing workwear or casual looks.
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 MM? A: With approximate measurements of 43 × 29 × 17 cm, the Totally MM is a generously sized everyday tote. It usually accommodates a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a cosmetics pouch, small umbrella or a 500 ml water bottle, an A5 diary, and a tablet or e‑reader. Capacity may vary depending on organiser inserts and cases; please refer to the Measurements for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit A4 documents or a 13‑inch laptop? A: A4 documents generally fit flat. Many 13‑inch laptops fit horizontally, though thicker devices or bulky sleeves may be snug due to the curved zip opening. If you’d like, we can perform a tailored fit check for your specific device with this exact bag.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and what is the strap drop? A: The Totally MM is designed for shoulder carry only. It features dual flat vachetta shoulder straps with an approximate drop of 24 cm on this piece, offering a comfortable shoulder fit over light layers.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: It has a top zip closure for everyday security, two open side pockets externally for quick access, and a well‑organised interior with three pockets to keep essentials tidy. Please review our photos for the exact layout of this bag.
Q: Is the Totally MM still produced? A: The Totally line is widely regarded as discontinued in boutiques, so availability is primarily on the pre‑loved market. Specific store offerings can vary by time and region, but this model is most commonly sourced vintage or second‑hand today.
Q: What materials is this bag made from, and how do they age? A: This piece is crafted from Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas with untreated vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The coated canvas is durable and wipeable, while the vachetta naturally darkens to a honey patina over time and can mark with water or oils—this patina is part of its character.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and vachetta leather? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. Keep vachetta away from moisture and potential colour transfer (e.g., dark denim). Blot any light splashes promptly and condition sparingly with a suitable neutral product only after testing on a discreet area. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, with straps positioned to avoid pressure marks.
Q: Where is the date code located, and what does “FL3161” indicate? A: Older Louis Vuitton bags typically have a date code on a small interior leather tab or along an interior seam. In the 2007–2021 format, the first and third digits indicate the week and the second and fourth indicate the year. “FL3161” decodes to the 36th week of 2011, and “FL” denotes manufacture in France—consistent with the “Made in France” stamp on this piece. Date codes are not unique serial numbers but one of several authenticity indicators.
Q: Does this bag have an embedded microchip? A: Louis Vuitton began transitioning from visible date codes to embedded microchips around 2021. As this bag dates to 2011 by its code, it features a traditional date code rather than a microchip.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing is sold as the bag only; no accessories are included. Any extras (e.g., 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 to confirm.
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 and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
