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 Epi Nocturne PM Bag? A: With measurements of approx. 31 x 15 x 7 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet or card holder, keys, sunglasses and a few beauty items. It is more of a compact shoulder bag than a roomy day bag, so bulkier items will be a tight fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. It has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 25 cm, which makes it comfortable for shoulder carry. For most people, it will not sit like a crossbody bag.
Q: How is the bag organised inside? A: The Nocturne PM is designed with a streamlined interior and typically includes an interior slip pocket for smaller essentials. The magnetic flap closure keeps access quick and practical for everyday use.
Q: What condition is this specific item in? A: It is listed in Very Good condition overall. Please note there are visible scratches on the side details, minor stains inside, and scratches on the hardware. As a vintage item, light signs of wear are normal and part of its character.
Q: Does this item come with any extras? A: No. The product information for this piece states that no accessories are included.
Q: What is Epi leather, and is it durable? A: Epi leather is Louis Vuitton's signature textured leather, known for its structured feel and everyday durability. It is generally more resistant to visible wear than smoother leathers, which is one reason vintage Epi pieces remain so popular. That said, it is still leather and can develop scratches with use.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid commercial cleaners, oils, or harsh chemicals. Do not overfill the bag, and store it in a breathable dust bag or cloth bag in a ventilated place away from heat and direct sunlight to help preserve its shape and finish.
Q: Is this bag made in France? A: Yes. The country of origin listed for this item is France.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by experts and checked for details such as materials, construction, stamping, hardware and overall consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we sell.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair vintage bags like this? A: Louis Vuitton does offer repair services, subject to assessment. For vintage pieces, available repair options, pricing and lead times depend on the bag and the type of work required.
