Perfect for brunch dates and evening cocktails, this vintage Louis Vuitton Favorite PM in Monogram canvas brings effortless polish. Carry by the short chain for a chic shoulder look at dinners, or attach the leather strap for hands-free city strolls. The magnetic flap keeps essentials secure, while gold-tone accents lend a refined finish from day to night.
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 Favorite PM? A: With an approximate footprint of 22 × 14 × 4 cm, it’s perfect for essentials: a large smartphone, compact wallet/cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, lipstick and small cosmetics. A full‑size continental wallet is usually too long/tall, and notebooks or A5 documents generally do not fit flat. If you’d like a tailored fit check, just ask and we’ll test this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes—this piece includes a detachable leather shoulder strap (approx. 54 cm drop) for shoulder or high crossbody wear, plus a short chain handle (approx. 19 cm drop). The long strap is typically non‑adjustable; on taller wearers it may sit high. Some owners clip the chain to the strap to gain a little extra length, but always ensure hardware is properly secured and avoid overloading the bag.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Favorite PM features a magnetic flap closure for quick access. Inside, you’ll find a burgundy fabric lining with one slip pocket for small valuables. As it’s not a zip‑top design, we recommend keeping the bag upright and using the slip pocket or a small zip pouch for travel or busy commutes.
Q: What materials and hardware does this model have? A: Classic Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The short chain handle and detachable leather strap offer versatile carry options, and the front logo bar is part of the magnetic flap construction. Natural variations and a developing patina on Vachetta are part of the bag’s character.
Q: Is the Favorite PM still produced? A: The Favorite PM size is widely reported as discontinued by Louis Vuitton, with the MM size also phased out thereafter. Availability today is primarily on the pre‑loved market, which is why pieces like this one are sought after.
Q: What does the date code “SA1105” mean? A: “SA” indicates manufacture in France. In the post‑2007 format, the first and third digits denote the week and the second and fourth denote the year—so “1105” decodes to the 10th week of 2015. Note that from around 2021, Louis Vuitton transitioned to embedded microchips instead of visible date codes on most new items.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes typically found? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags have an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” with country of origin). Date codes on this era are usually on a small leather tab or stamped on the lining near a seam or pocket. Placement can vary by model and year—let us know if you’d like close‑up photos of the markings on this exact piece.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and canvas? A: Keep Vachetta away from water, oils and prolonged sunlight to encourage an even honey patina. Blot light moisture (don’t rub), use a soft dry cloth for routine dusting, and if you choose to condition, use a high‑quality, neutral, wax‑free product sparingly after testing on a discreet area. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; avoid hanging it by the strap for long periods and protect hardware from rubbing during storage.
Q: What accessories are included with this listing and how do you authenticate? A: Everything included is listed under “Accessories”—for this item a detachable shoulder strap is included. If an accessory isn’t mentioned there (e.g., box or dust bag), it isn’t included. Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously inspected and authenticated by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip and overall construction—we stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
