Q: Is the Galliera PM a shoulder bag?

Q: Is the Louis Vuitton Galliera PM discontinued?
A: Yes, the Galliera PM is a discontinued Louis Vuitton model, which is one reason it remains popular on the pre-owned market. Its relaxed hobo shape, front plaque and Monogram canvas design make it a sought-after vintage style.

Q: What materials and features does this specific bag have?
A: This piece is crafted from Monogram coated canvas with natural cowhide leather trim and brass hardware. It has a beige microfibre lining, internal pockets and a magnetic closure. The product information also notes that it is a vintage item made in France.

Q: What does the code MI1078 mean?
A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period indicate the place and time of production rather than serving as a unique serial number. MI denotes production in France, and 1078 corresponds to the 17th week of 2008. As with all Louis Vuitton bags, a code alone does not confirm authenticity; it should always be considered alongside materials, construction and other details.

Q: What condition is this bag in?
A: This bag is listed in Very Good Condition. The exterior shows discolouration and patina to the Vachetta leather strap and trim, with tarnishing on the hardware. The interior shows light trace of use, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This bag comes with a dust bag. Everything included with the purchase is shown in the product information, so if another accessory is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.

Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather?
A: Clean the coated canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive products. The natural Vachetta leather will darken over time and develop patina with wear and exposure, which is normal for this material. To help preserve the bag, store it in a dry place inside its dust bag and avoid prolonged contact with water, oils, direct sunlight and humidity.

Q: Is the Galliera PM a good everyday bag?
A: Yes, many buyers choose the Galliera PM as an everyday shoulder bag because it combines a roomy interior with a soft, easy-to-carry shape. The PM is the smaller Galliera size, but it still offers enough space for daily essentials while remaining more manageable than a larger hobo bag.
