Tailored for busy city days, the Neverfull PM in Damier Ebene is a chic companion for brunch, meetings, and evening dinners. Its compact silhouette transitions seamlessly from office to weekend, keeping essentials close while elevating smart-casual looks with timeless Louis Vuitton polish.
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 Neverfull PM? A: With approximate measurements of 28 × 22 × 12 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, earbuds, an A5 diary/notebook and a small cosmetics pouch. A 330–500 ml water bottle can fit; taller bottles may protrude slightly due to the open‑top design.
Q: Will it fit a tablet, A4 papers or a laptop? A: Compact tablets (e.g., iPad mini/11‑inch class) typically fit best when placed horizontally without a bulky case. A4 documents (29.7 × 21 cm) generally do not lie fully flat in the PM. Standard 13‑inch laptops do not fit. Share your device’s measurements and we’ll perform a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: How secure is the closure and what’s the interior layout? A: The Neverfull has an open‑top design with a central clasp for quick security. Inside, you’ll find the signature red striped textile lining and one internal zipped pocket to organise valuables. It’s a single, roomy compartment ideal for everyday use.
Q: Are the side laces functional—how should I use them? A: Yes. The leather side laces cinch the top edges to create a more compact silhouette and add structure. For maximum capacity, leave them loose; for a sleeker look, gently pull and tie each side evenly. Avoid over‑tightening to prevent creasing at the corners.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This PM features dual flat leather handles with an approximate 18 cm drop for hand, crook‑of‑arm and shoulder carry (it sits higher on the shoulder). It’s not designed for crossbody wear and does not include a long strap.
Q: What is Damier Ebene and how do I care for it? A: Damier Ebene is Louis Vuitton’s brown checkerboard coated canvas paired with dark, treated leather trim. It’s durable and more resistant to water spotting than untreated vachetta. Care is simple: keep away from heavy rain and oils, wipe with a soft dry cloth, store upright and lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, and avoid prolonged sunlight or abrasive surfaces.
Q: Is colour transfer an issue with Damier Ebene? A: The dark leather trim is less prone to visible transfer than pale leathers, but colour migration can still occur from non‑colourfast fabrics (e.g., dark denim). Be mindful when wearing new or heavily dyed garments and avoid prolonged friction.
Q: What does the date code VI3184 mean on this bag? A: “VI” indicates French manufacture, and “3184” decodes to the 38th week of 2014 under Louis Vuitton’s 2007–2021 week/year format. Note: from March 2021 LV transitioned to embedded microchips instead of visible date codes on new items; this 2014 piece correctly bears a date code.
Q: Did the Neverfull originally come with a removable pouch? What’s included here? A: From the 2013/2014 New Model update, most Neverfull versions were supplied with a detachable zipped pochette. Everything included with this specific bag is listed under “Accessories” on this page—this listing states no accessories.
Q: Is the Neverfull PM still in production and how available is it? A: The Neverfull line remains an ongoing Louis Vuitton staple, though availability and release details can vary by season, material and region. The PM is the compact size; if you need more capacity for A4/laptops, consider the MM or GM. Pre‑loved pieces are an excellent way to find specific canvases and years like this Damier Ebene PM.
Q: How does A Retro Tale handle authenticity? A: Every item undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts—covering materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip era and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
