Ideal for city days that flow into dinner, this vintage Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Thames PM elevates smart-casual looks.

A versatile companion for weekend strolls, work meetings, and relaxed evenings.
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 are the measurements and strap drop of this Thames PM? A: This piece measures approximately 33 × 17 × 6 cm (about 13.0 × 6.7 × 2.4 in). The single shoulder strap is adjustable and is measured at around 22 cm (8.7 in) drop on its current setting. As it has a buckle, the drop can be lengthened or shortened slightly to suit your fit.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses, and a few small cosmetics fit comfortably. A slim 8-inch mini tablet may fit horizontally depending on its case, but full-size tablets, notebooks, or A4 documents are not recommended due to the bag’s height and curved profile.
Q: Is the Thames PM discontinued? A: Yes. The Thames line is an older Louis Vuitton style produced in the late 2000s–early 2010s and is now discontinued, which is why it’s most often found on the pre-loved market.
Q: Is this bag designed for crossbody wear? A: The Thames PM is a shoulder bag. The strap is adjustable for shoulder comfort but is not long enough for true crossbody wear, and it is not designed to be detached.
Q: What are the main features of this model? A: Damier Ebene coated canvas with brown leather trim, gold-tone hardware and Inventeur plate at the front, a secure top zip closure, and a red textile-lined interior with two slip pockets for small items.
Q: What does the date code AR4130 indicate? A: AR denotes manufacture in France. With the 4-digit format used in this era, 4130 decodes to the 43rd week of 2010, indicating when this bag was produced.
Q: How durable is Damier Ebene canvas and how should I care for it? A: Damier Ebene is a coated canvas that is hard-wearing and generally resistant to light rain and surface scuffs. Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid solvents, oils, and prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help it keep its shape.
Q: Does the strap tend to slip off the shoulder? A: The adjustable flat strap is designed for stable shoulder carry and most users find it comfortable; as with any shoulder bag, fit depends on clothing and strap hole used. Adjusting the buckle for a closer fit usually improves stability.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing comes with no accessories. Anything included is always shown under Accessories on this page; if you need clarification, please contact us.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is rigorously checked by our in-house experts using multi-point inspection of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps and date codes, supported by specialist tools and, when needed, third-party verification. We stand by the authenticity of every piece we sell.
