Designed for the weekday commute, client meetings and city travel, this Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene briefcase keeps documents and daily essentials smartly organised. A compact, polished choice that moves effortlessly from office hours to after-work dinners, complementing sharp tailoring and business‑casual looks alike.
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 Porte-Documents Voyage PM? A: With approximate measurements of 36 × 27.5 × 5 cm, it is designed for daily office essentials. It comfortably holds A4 documents placed horizontally, a tablet, and a 13-inch laptop; many slim 14-inch models may also fit depending on bezel and case thickness. Interior slip pockets help keep small items organised.
Q: Will a 15-inch laptop fit? A: It is usually too snug for most 15-inch laptops. Some ultra‑slim 15-inch models might slide in, but access can be tight at the zip. For frequent use, a 13-inch (and some slim 14-inch) laptop is the safer choice.
Q: Does this specific PM include a shoulder strap? A: This A Retro Tale piece is offered as a handheld briefcase, carried by its dual rolled handles. Some PM editions were produced with a detachable shoulder strap and D‑rings, but this varies by release. Please review the photos and the product information on this page if you require confirmation of carry options.
Q: Is the Damier Ebene canvas suitable for rain? A: Damier Ebene is a coated canvas known for durability and everyday resistance to light moisture. It is water‑resistant rather than fully waterproof, so wipe dry after exposure and avoid prolonged saturation or contact with leather trim when wet.
Q: How should I care for this vintage piece? A: Clean coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water, then dry immediately. Avoid alcohol‑based solutions, solvents, oils, or harsh cleaners on canvas or leather. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, loosely stuffed to maintain shape, and avoid abrasive surfaces.
Q: What does the date code CI1118 mean? A: Louis Vuitton used letter‑and‑number date codes up to 2021. In the post‑2007 format, the first and third digits show the production week and the second and fourth the year. CI1118 therefore indicates week 11 of 2018. From 2021 onwards, Louis Vuitton introduced embedded microchips, so newer items may not have a visible date code.
Q: What are the differences between PM and GM sizes in this model line? A: PM is the compact briefcase (typically around 35–36 × 27 × 5–6 cm), ideal for A4 papers and a 13-inch laptop. GM is larger (often around 40.5 × 30 × 6–7 cm) and better suited to bigger loads, including many 15-inch laptops. Always check the exact measurements for the specific piece.
Q: What is the handle drop and how is it best carried? A: The handle drop is approximately 10 cm, ideal for hand carry or over the forearm. If you prefer shoulder carry, consider PM editions made with strap attachments or other Louis Vuitton briefcases designed with longer straps.
Q: Is this bag unisex? A: Yes. While often styled in men’s collections, the Porte-Documents Voyage PM’s clean lines and neutral Damier Ebene pattern make it a refined, unisex work bag.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed in the product information and shown in the photos. If an item such as a dust bag, padlock, keys, strap, or name tag is not listed there, it is not included. Our team is happy to confirm specifics on request.
