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 Montorgueil PM? A: As a compact shoulder bag, it comfortably holds a long wallet, large smartphone, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, keys, and a small water bottle. An 11-inch tablet can fit; A4 documents or a 13-inch laptop generally will not. For exact sizing, please refer to the Measurements on this page (approx. 30 × 23 × 13 cm).
Q: Does the Montorgueil PM fit A4 papers or a 13-inch laptop? A: No. The PM size is designed for daily essentials and a tablet. Most A4 documents will not lie flat, and a 13-inch laptop is too large for the opening and interior shape. If you need A4 capacity, consider the larger GM size instead.
Q: Is the Montorgueil line still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: No. The Montorgueil line is generally discontinued and now appears mainly on the pre‑loved market. You’ll often see production years from the late 2000s to early 2010s noted by resellers.
Q: What does the date code SP0048 mean on this bag? A: Louis Vuitton used date codes prior to adopting microchips in 2021. In the code SP0048, the letters indicate the country and the numbers indicate the production time. SP corresponds to a French factory; 0048 decodes to the 4th week of 2008. Note that date codes are not unique serial numbers and are only one factor in authentication.
Q: Where can I find the date code on a Montorgueil PM? A: On this model it is typically stamped on a small leather tab inside the bag along a seam or near/behind the interior pocket. It can be tucked low in the lining, so a gentle look with good light can help you spot it.
Q: Are the straps adjustable or suitable for crossbody wear? A: The Montorgueil PM has fixed dual flat shoulder straps and is intended for shoulder or handheld carry. It is not designed for crossbody use. The strap drop on this specific piece is approximately 20 cm, which is comfortable over a light jacket or knit; very bulky coats may feel snug depending on build.
Q: What materials is it made from and how should I care for them? A: The body is Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas, which is durable and water‑resistant. The trim and handles are natural Vachetta leather that will develop a darker patina with use and is sensitive to water and oils. Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth; keep Vachetta dry and avoid lotions, alcohol‑based products, and prolonged sunlight. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from humidity.
Q: How does the PM compare with the GM size? A: PM is the smaller, everyday size for essentials and a tablet. GM is noticeably larger (commonly around 37–38 cm in width) and typically accommodates A4 documents and a light laptop, making it better for work or travel if you need extra capacity.
Q: Does this listing include a padlock, keys, or dust bag? A: Everything included is always listed under Accessories on this page. For this specific piece, the Accessories section states: no accessories.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, glazing, hardware, heat stamps, and date codes, supported by reference databases and specialist tools. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and are happy to provide additional information or photos on request.
