Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Vernis Reade PM Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 23 × 18 × 10 cm, the Reade PM is a compact day bag that generally fits everyday essentials such as a small to medium wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a card holder, lipstick, and a few small extras. It is best suited to daily basics rather than bulkier items like a tablet, water bottle, or large zip-around organiser.
Q: Is the Reade PM a shoulder bag? A: No. This style is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. The dual flat handles have an approximate drop of 10 cm, so it does not offer the longer strap length usually needed for comfortable shoulder wear.
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.

It is best suited to daily basics rather than bulkier items like a tablet, water bottle, or large zip-around organiser.
Q: Is the Reade PM a shoulder bag? A: No. This style is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. The dual flat handles have an approximate drop of 10 cm, so it does not offer the longer strap length usually needed for comfortable shoulder wear.
Q: Does this bag close with a zip? A: No. This Reade PM has an open top, which gives it an easy-access tote-style shape. Inside, there is one internal zip pocket for smaller valuables, but the main compartment itself does not zip closed.
Q: What is Vernis leather? A: Monogram Vernis is Louis Vuitton’s glossy embossed leather, known for its patent-like shine and structured feel. It gives the bag a polished vintage look, but it should still be handled with care to keep the surface looking its best.
Q: How should I care for vintage Vernis leather? A: Wipe the surface gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaners, and store the bag away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. It is also wise to keep Vernis away from dark denim, printed paper, and other materials that may transfer colour onto the glossy finish.
Q: Is colour transfer or ageing common on Vernis bags? A: It can be. Vintage Vernis is known to be more sensitive to colour transfer, surface marks, and changes in appearance over time, especially with regular use or poor storage. Darker shades such as brown are often more forgiving, but this specific bag already shows visible scratches and marks on the exterior, which are reflected in the condition notes.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number? A: Louis Vuitton bags from this era typically use a date code rather than a unique serial number. A date code can help indicate where and when the bag was made, but it is not the only factor used for authentication. This item is professionally authenticated by A Retro Tale before sale.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The listed extra for this bag is a booklet. For complete included details, please refer to the product information on this page; if an item is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: The exterior is noted as good with visible scratches and marks, the interior is very good with light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Overall, it is presented in very good vintage condition.
