Louis Vuitton Damier Saleya PM Bag

Q: What are the measurements and what fits inside?
A: This Saleya PM is approximately 26 × 24 × 14 cm with a handle drop of about 15 cm. It comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, small cosmetics pouch, compact umbrella, a 500 ml water bottle, and a small tablet or e‑reader (around 8–10 inches). Due to the height, A4 documents or larger laptops are not a comfortable fit unless placed diagonally and even then it may be tight.

Q: Is the Saleya PM still produced by Louis Vuitton?
A: No. The Saleya line was introduced in the mid‑2000s and has since been discontinued. It is now found on the pre‑owned market only.

Q: Can the Saleya PM be worn on the shoulder?
A: With a handle drop of about 15 cm, most people carry the PM by hand or in the crook of the arm. Some find it can sit on the shoulder with light clothing, but it is generally snug and not designed as a dedicated shoulder tote.

Q: What is the bag made from and how durable is it?
A: The exterior is Damier Ebene coated canvas with dark brown treated leather trim and gold‑tone brass hardware. The interior is a red microfibre lining with slip pockets. Coated canvas is light, hard‑wearing and water‑resistant, while the leather trim should be kept away from moisture and oils for longevity.

Q: How secure is it compared with open totes like the Neverfull?
A: The Saleya features a full top zip, offering more security for your belongings than open‑top totes. It also has a slightly more structured silhouette and rolled leather handles for comfortable hand carry.

Q: Does this bag have a date code and where would it be?
A: Saleya bags from its production era typically include a date code. On many examples it is found on a small leather tab inside the pocket or stamped discreetly along the pocket seam. Note that date codes are not unique serial numbers; they indicate production period and location. Louis Vuitton has moved to microchips on many items since 2021, but the Saleya predates this change. Our team authenticates every item using multi‑point checks.

Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene canvas and the leather trim?
A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol‑based wipes or coloured cleaners. For the leather trim, use a dry, soft cloth and keep it away from water and oils; store the bag stuffed and upright in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight. Avoid overfilling to preserve the shape. Light wear to edge glazing on handles can occur with use and may be repairable by a specialist.

Q: Will a tablet or small laptop fit?
A: A small tablet up to roughly 10 inches fits comfortably. Larger tablets (11 inches) or laptops generally do not fit well due to the 24 cm height and the tapered top opening.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. If you need clarification on what is currently included, please contact us and we will be happy to confirm.

Q: Is the Saleya PM heavy to carry?
A: No. The coated canvas construction makes it notably lightweight for daily use, even when the bag is fully organised with essentials.
