From office commutes to weekend gallery visits, the Louis Vuitton Graceful PM in Damier Ebene offers effortless sophistication. Its shoulder-friendly silhouette pairs beautifully with trench coats and knitwear, while the secure magnetic tab keeps daily essentials close as you move through the city.
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 Graceful PM? A: As a compact hobo, it comfortably carries daily essentials such as a large smartphone, continental wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch, an A5 diary/notebook and a standard tablet. Capacity can vary slightly with packing style; please compare your items with the Measurements on this page (approx. 35 × 34 × 14 cm) or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: An iPad/Air or 11‑inch tablet usually fits well. A 13‑inch laptop is generally a tight squeeze due to the curved opening and softly structured hobo shape, so we don’t recommend it for regular laptop carry. For certainty, match your device’s dimensions to our Measurements or ask us to test the fit for you.
Q: Is the strap adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The Graceful PM has a single flat leather shoulder strap that is not adjustable and is designed for shoulder carry rather than crossbody. The handle drop on this piece is approximately 18 cm; if you’d like additional wearing photos or an exact drop measurement, just ask and we’ll confirm on this bag.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It closes with a leather tab and magnetic snap for quick, everyday security. Inside, you’ll find a textile lining with one zipped pocket to keep valuables organised. This Damier Ebene edition typically features a rich red lining; our listing photos show the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What materials is it made from and how durable is Damier Ebene? A: The Graceful PM in Damier Ebene is crafted from Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas with treated brown leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The coated canvas is lightweight yet robust, and the treated leather is more resistant to rain and stains than untreated vachetta—making this a dependable choice for daily use.
Q: How should I care for the canvas, leather and hardware? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; for light dirt, use a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid alcohol‑ or oil‑based wipes and harsh cleaners. Keep the leather away from prolonged moisture and potential colour transfer (e.g., from dark denim); condition smooth leather sparingly after testing on a discreet area. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid over‑loading to preserve the hobo silhouette.
Q: Is the Graceful PM still available in boutiques? A: Boutique availability can vary by season and region. Many configurations are now most easily found on the pre‑loved market. If you’re seeking a specific print or size, we recommend the secondary market for best selection.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and what does “RI2187” mean? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags feature an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” and the country of origin). Pieces produced prior to about 2021 typically have a date code on a small leather tab or along an interior seam. The code “RI2187” indicates France (RI factory code) and week 28 of 2017 under the week/year format. From around 2021, LV transitioned to embedded microchips instead of visible date codes.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under “Accessories.” For this specific piece, we note a luggage tag. If an accessory (e.g., dust bag or box) isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate at A Retro Tale? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
