Perfect for city weekends and polished everyday wear, the vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Montorgueil PM carries your essentials with ease. Ideal for brunch, shopping or a casual dinner, it lends timeless LV elegance to any look.
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 the smaller of the Montorgueil sizes, the PM is a practical everyday bag. It comfortably holds a long (continental) wallet, a large smartphone, a cosmetic pouch, sunglasses, keys, and a small agenda or paperback book. While it offers a similar capacity to a Speedy 30, it is not designed for laptops or A4 documents, though an iPad Mini or small e-reader typically fits nicely.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder? A: The bag features dual flat leather straps. On this specific piece, the handle drop measures approximately 16 cm. This is considered a short drop; while many can wear it snugly on the shoulder over light clothing, it is often carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. We recommend checking the measurements against your own preferences to ensure the drop works for you.
Q: How does the Montorgueil PM compare to the Speedy? A: Many find the Montorgueil to be a more comfortable alternative to the classic Speedy. It has a flatter profile that sits closer to the body and a wider zipper opening that makes accessing your belongings easier. Unlike the standard Speedy, which is handheld, the Montorgueil offers the option of shoulder wear (depending on the fit).
Q: Is the closure secure? A: Yes, the Montorgueil features a full-length top zipper, making it very secure for city use or travel compared to open-top totes like the Neverfull.
Q: Is this model still produced? A: No, the Montorgueil line was discontinued by Louis Vuitton around 2011–2012. It remains a sought-after vintage style due to its practical shape and classic look.
Q: What are the materials and how do I care for them? A: This bag is crafted from Louis Vuitton’s durable Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim. The canvas is water-resistant and easily wiped with a soft, damp cloth. The Vachetta leather is untreated and will develop a honey-coloured patina over time; it is sensitive to water and oils, so avoid rain and direct contact with hand creams.
Q: Where can I find the date code on this bag? A: On the Montorgueil, the date code is typically found inside the interior slip pocket, stamped along the seam. This specific piece has the code TH5017, indicating it was made in France in late 2007.
Q: What accessories are included with this piece? A: This listing notes that there are “no accessories” included (such as a dust bag or padlock). If an item isn’t listed under the “Accessories” section, it is not part of the sale.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We inspect the materials, stitching, hardware quality, font alignment, and the date code (TH5017) to ensure they match Louis Vuitton’s standards for that era. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
