Designed for hands-free days in the city, this Louis Vuitton Damier Bloomsbury PM moves from commute to brunch with ease. The adjustable shoulder strap wears crossbody, a magnetic front pocket keeps tickets to hand, and a top zip secures essentials. In very good vintage condition, its brown Damier Ébène finish adds polished ease to everyday and smart-casual looks.
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: Is the Bloomsbury PM a crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes. The Bloomsbury PM is designed to be worn crossbody or on the shoulder. This piece has an adjustable flat strap; on this example the drop is approximately 54 cm at a mid setting, with a typical adjustable range around the low‑50s to high‑50s cm to suit most heights.
Q: What are the measurements and key features? A: Approx. 32 × 27 × 2 cm (W × H × D). It features Damier Ebène coated canvas with brown leather trim, a top zip closure, a front pocket with magnetic closure, red textile lining, and internal slip pockets. Brass-tone hardware completes the look.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, travel documents and small cosmetics fit comfortably. Thanks to its flat profile, it favours slim items. A standard tablet up to about 10–11 inches can fit if it’s in a slim or no case; thicker cases or bulky items may feel snug—use the Measurements on this page to compare with your device.
Q: Is the Bloomsbury PM still sold by Louis Vuitton? A: The Bloomsbury line (PM/GM) is no longer part of Louis Vuitton’s current collection and is typically available only on the resale market. Availability can vary week to week as pieces appear and sell quickly.
Q: Where is the date code on this model and what does DU3079 mean? A: On many Bloomsbury PM bags the date code is placed inside the exterior front pocket. The code DU3079 indicates French production in the 37th week of 2009 (factory code DU; the digits denote week and year).
Q: Is the canvas water‑resistant and how should I care for it? A: Damier Ebène is a coated canvas that’s durable and naturally water‑repellent, but not waterproof. Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh chemicals and alcohol‑based products, and let it air‑dry if wet. Keep the bag loosely stuffed and stored in a breathable dust bag away from heat sources, and avoid over‑packing to preserve its structure and glazing.
Q: How does the PM compare to the GM? A: The PM (Petit Modèle) is the smaller, sleeker size for everyday essentials, while the GM (Grand Modèle) is larger and better for those who need more capacity (for example, a tablet with additional items). Both share the same design language with pleats, exterior pocket and long strap.
Q: Does the front pocket’s magnet affect what I store there? A: The magnet provides quick, secure access for items like a phone or travel documents. As a general precaution, avoid placing items with magnetic strips directly against the closure to keep them in best condition.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing includes a dust bag. Everything included is always listed in the product information section; if an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional product information on request.
