Effortless for spring city strolls and weekend brunches, the Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Totally PM lends a fresh, polished touch to daytime looks—ideal for shopping trips, gallery visits or a relaxed lunch by the sea.
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 Totally PM? A: With approximate Measurements of 25 × 34 × 12 cm for this piece, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, continental wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, AirPods, an A5 notebook/diary and a small cosmetics pouch. A slim 500 ml water bottle can fit; bulky bottles or thick cases may reduce ease of zip closure. For tailored fit advice on a specific item (phone/tablet), just ask and we’ll test this exact bag.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? What about A4 documents? A: Compact tablets (e.g., 10–11-inch iPad/ iPad Air) usually fit when placed horizontally without a bulky sleeve. A 13-inch laptop is generally too large for the PM size. A4 documents (29.7 × 21 cm) do not sit upright comfortably in the PM and may crease at the zip opening; consider the MM size if you frequently carry A4 folders.
Q: Are the straps adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: The Totally PM features dual flat shoulder straps for shoulder carry; they are not adjustable and the bag is not designed for crossbody wear. The handle drop on this exact piece is approximately 21 cm and sits comfortably on the shoulder, including over light layers.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: The Totally PM has a full zip top for everyday security, plus two exterior side slip pockets that are ideal for quick‑access items (travel cards, receipts, hand sanitiser). Inside, you’ll find a beige textile lining with slip pockets to keep small valuables organised.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: This piece is crafted in Louis Vuitton’s Damier Azur coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Damier Azur is the light (white/blue) check pattern; Vachetta is untreated cowhide that develops a honey patina with wear, lending vintage character.
Q: Any care tips for Damier Azur and Vachetta? A: Keep the bag away from heavy rain and humidity; coated canvas is water‑resistant but Vachetta can spot with moisture. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim and saturated fabrics on the pale canvas and leather. Wipe canvas with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leather sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product after testing on a discreet area. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid prolonged contact between straps and canvas to minimise impressions.
Q: Is the Totally PM still produced? A: The Louis Vuitton Totally line (PM/MM/GM) is discontinued; availability is now through the pre‑loved market. Specific colours and sizes, like Damier Azur PM, are sought‑after vintage finds.
Q: Where is the date code and what does AR5008 mean? A: Older Louis Vuitton bags include a date code stamped on a small leather tab or along an interior seam. On this bag the code reads AR5008, indicating French manufacture and production in the 50th week of 2008 (AR = France; first & third digits = week, second & fourth digits = year). Note that from around 2021 LV transitioned to embedded microchips instead of visible date codes on new models.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: For this listing we note “no accessories.” If an accessory (e.g., dust bag, box) isn’t mentioned under Accessories, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
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 (where applicable) and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
