This vintage Louis Vuitton Reade PM bag in green Monogram Vernis leather is finished with vachetta leather trim and brass hardware. In very good condition, it features dual flat top handles and a tonal fabric-lined interior with one internal zip pocket. A polished choice for lunches, city days or adding a refined vintage accent to everyday outfits.
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 Monogram Vernis Reade PM Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 23 x 18 x 10 cm, the Reade PM is best suited to compact daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses, cosmetics and other slim items. It is a petite structured tote rather than a large everyday carryall, so bulkier items like a laptop or large bottle are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Is this bag designed for shoulder wear? A: No. This Reade PM has dual flat top handles with an approximate handle drop of 10 cm and no shoulder strap, so it is intended to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: Does the bag close at the top? A: The Reade PM is typically an open-top style. Inside, it has a tonal fabric lining with one internal zip pocket to help organise smaller essentials.
Q: What is Monogram Vernis leather? A: Monogram Vernis is Louis Vuitton's glossy embossed patent calfskin, introduced in the late 1990s. It is known for its shiny finish and embossed Monogram pattern, giving the bag a polished look with a distinctly early-2000s character.
Q: Is Vernis leather easy to care for? A: Vernis can be relatively resistant to light surface scratching, but it still needs careful handling. It is especially prone to colour transfer from dark denim, magazines and other dyed materials, and prolonged sunlight can lead to fading or yellowing over time. Store it in a ventilated area, avoid overfilling, and wipe gently with a soft damp cloth only.
Q: What does the date code MI0091 mean? A: On Louis Vuitton bags from this era, the two letters indicate the factory location and the four digits indicate the month and year of production. MI stands for France, and 0091 decodes to September 2001.
Q: What condition details should I expect with this specific bag? A: According to this item's condition notes, the exterior is in very good condition with visible marks, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with many vintage Vernis bags, reviewing the photos closely is the best way to understand the finish and wear.
Q: What product information is included with this bag? A: This listing states that no additional product information is included. If an item is not listed in the product information section, it should be assumed not to be included.
Q: How is authenticity checked? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by experts using a multi-point assessment of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and production details. The date code is one useful indicator, but it is only one part of the overall authentication process.
