Very Good Condition

Designed with a single top handle, detachable shoulder strap and black canvas-lined interior, it is an elegant choice for commuting, business meetings or refined everyday city 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.
Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Taiga Vassili PM Messenger Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 39 x 33 x 13 cm, this bag is well suited to daily essentials such as A4 documents, a notebook, phone, wallet, charger and other small work items. It offers a practical everyday size for commuting or office use. For exact fit, please refer to the measurements on this page.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: The Vassili PM is commonly used as a business-style messenger bag and is generally suited to A4 papers and many laptops. As laptop sizes vary by brand, sleeve and thickness, we recommend comparing your device with the listed measurements before purchasing.
Q: Can it be carried by hand and on the shoulder? A: Yes. This piece features a single top handle and a detachable shoulder strap, so it can be carried in the hand or worn on the shoulder. The listed handle drop is approximately 5 cm and the strap drop is approximately 50 cm.
Q: How is the bag organised inside? A: This bag is designed with a push-lock flap closure, black canvas lining and internal pockets to help keep smaller essentials organised. Please review the product photos for the best view of the interior layout.
Q: What makes Taiga leather a good choice for everyday use? A: Taiga leather is known for its refined grained texture, structured look and practical durability. It is generally considered more resistant to everyday scratches than smoother leathers, making it a strong option for regular use. Like most leathers, it may still soften or show gentle creasing over time.
Q: How should I care for Taiga leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft damp cloth, avoid overfilling the bag, and store it in a ventilated area away from heat and direct sunlight. Avoid oils, perfumes, harsh chemicals and commercial leather cleaners, as these can affect the leather and finish.
Q: What does the date code RI4100 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes are production codes rather than unique serial numbers. RI indicates production in France, and 4100 corresponds to the 40th week of 2010.
Q: Does the date code prove authenticity? A: No. A date code is only one part of the authentication process. Materials, construction, hardware, stamps and overall craftsmanship should also be assessed. A Retro Tale authenticates all items before sale.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows visible scuffing on the corners and minor scratches, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap. If any additional items are included, they will be shown in the product information on this page.
