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 how does it carry? A: This PM size measures approximately 25 × 21 × 12 cm with a handle drop of about 11 cm and a detachable strap drop of about 54 cm. It can be carried by hand, in the crook of the arm, on the shoulder, or as a high crossbody depending on your height.
Q: How is the interior laid out? A: The Mazarine PM typically features two zipped sections with a central compartment that secures with a hidden magnetic snap. Inside you’ll find a striped textile lining and a slip/patch pocket for small items.
Q: What fits inside the Mazarine PM? A: Daily essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, compact makeup pouch and small notebook fit comfortably. An iPad mini or similar small tablet can fit; A4 documents and a 13" laptop will not. Please refer to the Measurements on this page to compare with your items.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable? A: This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap with an approximate 54 cm drop. Some Mazarine straps vary by release; on this bag the drop is as measured on our product page. If you prefer a different drop length, alternative straps can be sourced separately.
Q: Does the bag have feet and hold its shape? A: Yes. The Mazarine PM has four protective metal feet and a structured Empreinte leather body that helps it stand upright and retain its shape with normal use.
Q: Is the Mazarine PM still available at Louis Vuitton stores? A: The Mazarine line was introduced around 2016 and has since been discontinued. It is now found mainly through reputable pre‑owned retailers like A Retro Tale.
Q: What does the date code AR5106 mean on this bag? A: AR indicates production in France. The numbers 5106 denote the 50th week of 2016. Note that date codes support dating and origin only; Louis Vuitton began transitioning to microchips in 2021. A Retro Tale authenticates every item through multi‑point expert checks.
Q: What is Empreinte leather and how should I care for it? A: Empreinte is embossed, dyed‑through calfskin that’s supple yet durable. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately; avoid harsh cleaners or baby wipes. Condition sparingly with a neutral leather conditioner if needed, and store stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: Will the light taupe/beige colour be prone to colour transfer? A: Lighter Empreinte shades can pick up dye from dark fabrics (especially new denim). Minimise prolonged rubbing against dark clothing, let denim fully set with a few washes before wear, and wipe the leather gently after use to reduce the risk.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed in the product information, this bag comes with a detachable shoulder strap. Items not specifically listed there are not included; feel free to contact us if you need clarification.
