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 Saleya PM still available new from Louis Vuitton? A: No. The Saleya line has been discontinued and is now found on the pre‑owned market. It was introduced in the mid‑2000s and produced in three sizes: PM, MM and GM.
Q: What are this bag’s measurements and how does it carry day to day? A: This piece measures approximately 26 × 24 × 14 cm with a handle drop of about 15 cm. It is best carried by hand or in the crook of the arm; some find it can fit on the shoulder over light layers, but it is primarily a handheld tote.
Q: What typically fits inside the Saleya PM? A: Daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch and a compact umbrella or 500 ml water bottle. A small tablet (around 8–9 inches) can fit; A4 documents and 13‑inch laptops generally do not fit flat in the PM. Capacity varies with how you pack—please refer to the measurements above for guidance.
Q: Does it have secure closure and interior organisation? A: Yes. The Saleya PM features a zip‑top closure for security and a red Alcantara‑lined interior with slip pockets for easy organisation.
Q: What is Damier Ebene made of, and is it durable? A: Damier Ebene is a coated canvas that’s light yet hard‑wearing, paired with dark brown, treated leather trim. It resists everyday wear and light moisture better than untreated vachetta leathers, but it isn’t waterproof and should still be handled with care.
Q: How should I clean and store this bag? A: For canvas, wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth and dry with a clean cloth. Avoid alcohol‑based products, harsh chemicals and oils. Keep the bag loosely stuffed to maintain shape and store in a breathable dust bag away from direct heat and sunlight. Do not over‑pack as this can distort the structure.
Q: Does this bag have a date code or microchip? A: Most Saleya PM bags pre‑date Louis Vuitton’s 2021 move to embedded microchips, so they typically have a date code stamped on the lining (often near a pocket). Over time these stamps can fade, which is normal and does not affect authenticity; professional authentication looks at many details beyond the code.
Q: Where was the Saleya manufactured? A: Louis Vuitton produces across several countries, including France, Spain, Italy and the USA. The made‑in marking on this specific item indicates France, as shown in the product information on this page.
Q: How does the PM compare to the MM and GM? A: PM is the compact everyday size for essentials; MM offers extra capacity and typically accommodates A4 documents; GM is the largest and most spacious. All sizes share the zipped top and structured trapezoid silhouette.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, no additional items are listed.
