Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Galliera GM? A: With approximate measurements of 45 x 30 x 13 cm, the GM is the larger Galliera size and is well suited to everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch, a water bottle, and a tablet or small notebook. For bulkier items, we recommend comparing them to the Measurements shown on this page.
Q: Is this bag designed for the shoulder or crossbody wear? A: This model is designed as a shoulder bag. It has a single adjustable flat shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 23 cm, so it is best suited to shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear.
Q: Is the magnetic snap closure secure enough for everyday use? A: Yes, for typical daily use it is generally practical and easy to access. That said, the Galliera is a relaxed hobo style rather than a fully zipped tote, so it is not as enclosed as a zip-top bag. Some owners note that when the bag is very full, the snap may not align as neatly, but the shape usually sits close under the arm.
Q: Does the interior have organisational pockets? A: Yes. According to the product details, the beige Alcantara-lined interior includes one snap pocket and one patch pocket, which are useful for keeping smaller essentials separate.
Q: Is Damier Azur easy to maintain? A: Damier Azur is durable, but its light colour means it can show marks and colour transfer more easily than darker canvases. It is best to avoid contact with dark denim and other highly pigmented materials, keep it away from excess moisture, and store it in a ventilated area when not in use.
Q: Is patina on the Vachetta leather normal? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton’s natural Vachetta leather is untreated and develops a deeper honey-toned patina over time. Watermarks, darkening, and light surface scratches are common signs of age and wear. On this particular bag, visible patina and watermarks are already noted in the condition description.
Q: What does the code SP1029 mean? A: For Louis Vuitton pieces from this era, this is a date code rather than a unique serial number. SP indicates production in France, and 1029 decodes to week 12 of 2009. Date codes are useful for understanding when and where a bag was made, but they should not be used on their own to confirm authenticity.
Q: What is the condition of this specific piece? A: This bag is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows visible patina with watermarks and scuffing on the corners and trim, the lining has some stains, and the hardware shows scratches and some discolouration.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included with the bag is described in the product information. For this piece, no additional included items are listed.
