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 Galliera PM still in production? A: No. The Galliera line has been discontinued and is now available only on the pre‑loved market. This piece is the PM size in Damier Ebene canvas.
Q: What typically fits inside this Galliera PM? A: Based on this piece’s measurements (approx. H 29 × W 41 × D 11 cm), it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a make‑up pouch, an A4 document folder or tablet, and a 500 ml bottle. A slim 13‑inch laptop may fit, but the curved opening and magnetic closure make it better suited to documents and tablets rather than a bulky padded laptop sleeve. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: The Galliera PM features a single adjustable shoulder strap designed for shoulder carry only. Crossbody wear is not intended. The strap drop on this piece is approximately 20 cm.
Q: What is the interior like and how does it close? A: The interior is lined in red Alcantara (microfibre) with practical pockets, and the bag secures with a magnetic snap at the top for quick, easy access.
Q: Where will I find the date code on this model and how do I read it? A: On Galliera bags with Alcantara lining, the date code is typically stamped directly onto the lining along the seam inside the interior pocket and can be hard to spot. The letters indicate the country of manufacture and the numbers denote the production period. Codes may fade with use; this item is listed as date‑code eligible.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene canvas and dark brown leather trim? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid alcohol, solvents, and household cleaners. Keep the leather trim away from prolonged moisture and oils. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight, and avoid overfilling to protect the top trim and overall shape.
Q: How does the PM compare with the GM size? A: The PM is the smaller, more streamlined option for daily essentials, while the GM is noticeably larger with greater capacity. Choose PM for day‑to‑day wear; pick GM if you regularly carry bulkier items.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, a dust bag is included.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: Very good vintage condition with use consistent with age. Noted signs include visible cracks on the top leather trim, scuffing at the corners, light stains to the lining, and a slight vintage smell. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please see the photos and condition notes on this page.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is assessed by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
