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 size is the GM, and what typically fits inside? A: This Louis Vuitton Monogram Bucket GM measures approximately 35 × 34 × 16 cm, so it offers generous everyday capacity. It can usually hold daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, small water bottle, cosmetics pouch, and a tablet or light knitwear. As always, please compare your own items to the Measurements on this page for the best guide.
Q: Can this bag be carried comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. This model features dual adjustable shoulder straps and is designed for shoulder carry. The listed strap drop is approximately 23 cm, which gives it a comfortable everyday tote-style fit for many users.
Q: Does the bag close fully? A: No, this is an open-top bucket tote rather than a full zip-top style. It does have an internal chain and clasp, which helps keep the opening more secure, but it still offers the easy-access feel typical of classic bucket bags.
Q: What condition is this specific bag in? A: This piece is rated Very Good overall. The exterior shows a visible patina to the vachetta leather, with watermarks and scuffing on the base and trim. Inside, the condition is noted as Good with peeling to the lining and a vintage smell. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Is peeling on the lining common for vintage Louis Vuitton Bucket bags? A: Yes, this is one of the most commonly discussed age-related issues with vintage Bucket models that use older Vuittonite-style linings. Over time, especially with age, storage conditions, heat, or humidity, the lining can become sticky or start to peel. This item’s interior peeling is already noted in the condition description.
Q: Can the interior lining be repaired or replaced? A: In many cases, yes. Louis Vuitton does offer repair services, and vintage owners often explore relining when the interior has deteriorated. Repair feasibility, turnaround time, and cost can vary depending on the bag’s condition and the brand’s current service assessment, so it is best treated as a case-by-case option.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and vachetta leather? A: The coated Monogram canvas can generally be wiped gently with a soft damp cloth and a little mild soapy water if needed. The natural vachetta leather should be kept away from oils, lotions, perfume, and excess moisture. If it gets wet, blot it gently with a light-coloured absorbent cloth and let it dry naturally. Avoid harsh cleaners or home remedies on either material.
Q: What does the date code FL0060 indicate? A: Date codes on Louis Vuitton bags indicate when and where a piece was made, but they are not unique serial numbers. For a bag from this era, the code FL0060, together with the Made in France origin marking, points to production in June 2000 in France.
Q: Is anything included with this item? A: No additional product information is included with this piece. If an original pouch, box, dust bag, or other extras are not listed on the product page, they should not be expected with this item.
