Very Good Condition
Ideal for weekend city strolls or the daily commute, this Louis Vuitton Damier Ebène Bloomsbury PM offers hands-free elegance with its adjustable shoulder strap and secure top zip. Slim yet practical, it keeps essentials organised with an exterior zip pocket and a red-lined interior, pairing effortlessly with smart-casual looks.
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: Is the Bloomsbury PM still sold in Louis Vuitton boutiques? A: No. The Bloomsbury line has been discontinued and is now sourced on the pre‑loved market. Availability is limited to resale platforms and trusted vintage retailers like ours.
Q: What typically fits inside the Bloomsbury PM? A: It is sized for daily essentials. Think a long wallet, smartphone, keys, compact or small cosmetics pouch, and sunglasses. Slim e‑readers may fit; larger tablets and water bottles generally do not. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody and what is the strap drop? A: Yes. The adjustable strap allows both shoulder and crossbody wear. Typical Bloomsbury PM strap drop ranges around 54–62 cm, but please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact drop on this item. The strap is not designed to be detachable.
Q: What are the key design features of this model? A: Damier Ebène coated canvas with dark brown leather trim, gold‑tone hardware, an adjustable flat leather strap, a handy front exterior pocket for quick access, a secure top zip, and a red textile lining with internal slip pockets.
Q: Is Damier Ebène canvas durable and rain‑friendly? A: Yes. The coated canvas is hard‑wearing and water‑resistant, and the dark treated leather trim is more rain‑friendly than untreated vachetta. It is not fully waterproof; if it gets wet, wipe dry promptly and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft damp cloth and a little mild, colourless soap if needed. Avoid alcohol‑based products, sanitiser, oils, leather lotions, or harsh cleaners on the canvas or trim. Store stuffed to hold its shape, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: What does the date code DU2164 mean? A: DU indicates production in France. With the four‑digit format, the 1st and 3rd digits show the week and the 2nd and 4th the year. DU2164 corresponds to the 26th week of 2014. Note: since 2021, many new LV items use microchips instead of visible date codes.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date code format. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included.
