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 Damier Ebene Belem MM Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 37 x 23 x 17 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a full-size wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a compact umbrella or small tablet. It is best thought of as an everyday shoulder bag rather than a laptop bag, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. The Belem MM is designed as a shoulder bag and this specific item has dual adjustable straps with an approximate 23 cm drop. Because of the curved silhouette, it may sit a little closer under the arm, especially when worn with thicker outerwear.
Q: How is the bag organised inside? A: The Belem MM is known for practical organisation. It features a zip-top main compartment, one internal pocket, and exterior slip pockets that are useful for smaller essentials you want to reach quickly.
Q: Is Damier Ebene canvas a practical material for everyday use? A: Yes. Damier Ebene coated canvas is a popular everyday choice because it is structured, durable, and generally easier to maintain than untreated natural leather. The darker brown check pattern also tends to be forgiving in day-to-day wear.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Louis Vuitton bag? A: Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft damp cloth when needed, avoid overfilling the bag, and store it in a ventilated area away from direct heat and strong sunlight. Avoid oils, perfumes, alcohol-based products, and harsh cleaners on both the canvas and leather trim.
Q: What does the date code AR1005 mean? A: AR indicates that the bag was made in France. For this Louis Vuitton date code format, the numbers show the production month and year, so AR1005 corresponds to October 2005. A date code is a production code rather than a unique serial number.
Q: Does this item come with any additional product information? A: No. For this specific listing, the product information states that no additional items are included.
Q: What condition is this specific bag in? A: This item is listed in very good condition overall. The exterior shows very light traces of use, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Is this considered a vintage Louis Vuitton bag? A: Yes. This is a vintage Louis Vuitton Belem MM from the pre-owned market, and this specific piece dates to 2005 based on the date code. It is a great option for shoppers who appreciate earlier Louis Vuitton silhouettes and archived styles.
