Perfect for relaxed weekends and everyday errands, this vintage Monogram Delightful PM slips easily over the shoulder for effortless polish. Pair it with denim and a trench for brunch, or take it on city strolls and casual dinners—the classic LV canvas and gold-tone accents elevate 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 Delightful PM? A: With approximate measurements of 34 × 28 × 14 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, an A5 diary, a 500 ml water bottle and a tablet up to around 11 inches. A slim 13-inch laptop in a protective sleeve can fit, but capacity depends on how you pack and the bag’s soft, slouchy shape—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Delightful still made by Louis Vuitton, and what replaced it? A: The Delightful line has been discontinued and is now available only on the pre-owned market. Louis Vuitton later introduced the Graceful as the current, more structured hobo alternative.
Q: What are the key design features of the Delightful PM? A: Signature Monogram coated canvas with natural vachetta leather trim, a single flat shoulder strap, gold-tone hardware, a striped textile lining inspired by LV trunks, one interior zipped pocket, a D-ring for keys, and an open top secured by a clasp/snap‑hook style closure. There are no exterior pockets.
Q: How secure is the opening compared with a zipped tote? A: The Delightful PM uses a central clasp/snap‑hook rather than a full zip. When the clasp is engaged and the bag is worn under the arm, it offers everyday security. For small valuables, we recommend using an inner pouch and keeping the clasp fastened.
Q: How should I care for the vachetta leather and canvas? A: Keep vachetta away from water, oils and hand sanitiser to prevent spotting and darkening. Allow the natural patina to develop over time. Clean coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaners, prolonged sunlight or heat. Store the bag loosely stuffed in its dust bag, upright, in a cool, dry place.
Q: What does the date code FL4152 mean on this piece? A: FL indicates manufacture in France. With this code format, the first and third digits show the week and the second and fourth digits show the year—so 4 1 5 2 decodes to week 45 of 2012. Louis Vuitton began phasing out date codes in favour of microchips from 2021, but this vintage piece uses a traditional date code.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing includes a dust bag, as stated in the product information on this page. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: Overall good vintage condition. The vachetta leather trim shows visible wear with cracking and scuffing, especially along the top opening and piping. The interior lining has stains. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos and condition notes for full details.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or suitable for crossbody wear? A: The Delightful PM has a single fixed shoulder strap designed for shoulder carry; it is not adjustable and the bag is not intended for crossbody use. The wide, flat strap and soft hobo silhouette are made for comfortable under‑arm wear.
