A chic choice for city lunches, gallery visits or an evening out, this vintage Louis Vuitton Vernis Wilshire PM in glossy green adds a refined pop of colour while keeping essentials close. The compact tote silhouette and gold‑tone accents transition seamlessly from smart office looks to weekend denim, bringing polished charm to every outing.
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 Wilshire PM? A: With measurements of approximately 32 × 17 × 12 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, cosmetics pouch, and a small water bottle laid horizontally. A small tablet or e‑reader can fit, but standard A4 documents and most laptops will not fit upright inside this model.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder or crossbody? A: The Wilshire PM is designed for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry with dual flat handles (about 11 cm drop). It does not come with a shoulder strap and is not designed with strap rings/D‑rings for attaching one.
Q: How does it close and what is the interior like? A: This model has an open top secured with a hook (lobster‑style) clasp. Inside you’ll find a fabric lining with one zip pocket for small valuables, while the main compartment remains open for everyday essentials.
Q: What is Monogram Vernis leather? A: Monogram Vernis is Louis Vuitton’s glossy, patent‑finished calf leather embossed with the Monogram motif. It has a sleek sheen and a structured feel compared with softer leathers, offering a polished look that’s suitable for day or evening.
Q: How should I care for Vernis leather? A: Keep it away from materials that can transfer colour (such as denim, magazines, or darker leathers), avoid prolonged sunlight or heat, and wipe fingerprints with a clean, soft, lint‑free cloth. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from humidity, and avoid alcohol or solvent‑based cleaners.
Q: Is Vernis prone to colour transfer or stickiness? A: The glossy finish can show fingerprints and may absorb dye from dark fabrics if there’s friction or moisture. Very old or improperly stored pieces can become tacky. Prevent this by avoiding contact with dark textiles, keeping the surface clean and dry, and storing in a cool, ventilated place.
Q: Where is the date code and what if it’s hard to read? A: On Wilshire PM bags the date code is typically embossed on a small leather tab along an interior seam or near the pocket, and it can fade over time. An illegible code is not unusual on older pieces. Authenticity is assessed holistically (materials, stamps, stitching, hardware), not by the code alone.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this specific listing, no additional items are shown in the product information.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every piece is inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of leather, glazing, lining, stitching, hardware, heat stamps, and date codes where present. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share further details on request.
