A chic choice for city days and smart-casual evenings, the Louis Vuitton Damier Graceful PM elevates everyday attire. In very good condition, its brown Damier Ebene canvas and gold-tone accents sit neatly on the shoulder, with a magnetic closure keeping essentials secure throughout your plans.
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 Graceful PM? A: The PM size is ideal for everyday essentials: a smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve, a small cosmetics pouch, and an A5 notebook/diary. A compact water bottle and a small tablet generally fit. Capacity varies slightly by production year and organiser use—please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: Standard tablets (e.g., iPad, iPad Air/11-inch class) typically fit, especially without a bulky case. A 13-inch laptop is usually too large for the PM and may stress the magnetic closure. Compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements shown or let us know and we’ll perform a quick fit test for this item.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The Graceful PM features a single flat leather shoulder strap that is not designed to be worn crossbody. We list the strap drop under Measurements—if anything’s missing, just ask and we’ll confirm how it sits on the shoulder for you.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: This model uses a magnetic top closure for quick access, offering good day‑to‑day security. The interior commonly includes a main compartment with one zipped pocket. For commuting or travel, we recommend keeping the bag upright and placing smaller valuables in the interior zip pocket or a small pouch.
Q: What materials does the Damier Ébène Graceful PM use? A: Typically Damier Ébène coated canvas with dark treated leather trim/strap, red textile lining and gold‑tone hardware. Our listing specifies the exact finish for this piece and photos show the precise details.
Q: How should I care for coated canvas and the dark leather trim? A: Coated canvas is durable—wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or prolonged moisture. The dark Ébène leather is treated and more resistant than natural vachetta, but still avoid water, oils and prolonged sunlight. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and protect hardware from rubbing to minimise hairline scratches.
Q: Will the magnetic closure affect credit cards or electronics? A: Modern bank cards and phones are generally fine in everyday use. To be cautious, avoid placing a card’s magnetic stripe directly against the closure magnet for extended periods, and keep electronics in the main compartment away from the magnet area.
Q: Can I use a bag organiser or base shaper with the Graceful PM? A: Many owners use a lightweight organiser to improve structure and pocketing. Choose a size‑appropriate, soft‑edged insert to avoid imprinting or stressing the seams. Rigid base shapers can reduce the hobo’s natural drape and may leave marks—use with care and remove for storage.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags feature an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” and country of origin). Older pieces typically include a date code on a small leather tab or along an interior seam; from around 2021 LV transitioned to an embedded microchip instead of a visible code. Placement and format vary by era—contact us for close‑up photos of this item and assistance interpreting its markings.
Q: Is the Graceful PM still produced? A: Availability can vary by season and region, and certain sizes/finishes may be discontinued. The pre‑loved market is the best way to find specific configurations like Damier Ébène with red lining.
Q: What accessories are included and where is this piece made? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories.” For this listing we note no accessories. Our page indicates this bag is made in France; the interior stamp will reflect the country of manufacture. As with all items at A Retro Tale, it has been rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using a multi‑point process assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date code/microchip.
