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 Monogram Gibecière MM? A: With dimensions around 27 × 19 × 8 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a compact wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve, a passport, an A5 notebook/diary, a small cosmetics pouch and a Kindle/iPad mini. A4 documents and 11-inch tablets generally do not fit flat. Please refer to the Measurements shown or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes—the Gibecière MM features an adjustable flat shoulder strap with a shoulder pad for comfort. This piece shows an approximate 48 cm strap drop, suitable for shoulder or many crossbody carries. Fit can vary by height and build; if you’d like us to confirm how it sits on you, just ask and we’ll advise or provide additional measurements.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior/exterior layout? A: The bag uses a front buckle closure that provides good everyday security. Inside you’ll find a brown cross‑grain leather lining with one zipped pocket; there are also two external slip pockets for quick‑access items. Our listing photos show the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What materials and hardware does this model have, and where is it made? A: This Gibecière MM is crafted in Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim, gold‑tone brass hardware and a brown cross‑grain leather lining. It is stamped Made in France. The photos and description on this page show the precise finishes of this item.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and Monogram coated canvas? A: Vachetta is untreated leather that develops a patina; watermarks and light scuffs are normal signs of age and use. Keep the bag away from moisture and oils, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Wipe canvas and leather gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid heavy conditioners on Vachetta; if you choose to use a neutral product, apply very sparingly and test on a discreet area first. Store lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid prolonged pressure from the strap/buckle on the leather.
Q: Is it water‑resistant? Will rain mark the leather? A: The coated canvas is durable and somewhat splash‑resistant, but the natural Vachetta trim is not water‑resistant and can mark with rain. If the bag gets lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat. We don’t recommend waterproofing sprays as they can alter the appearance—if you use one, test on an inconspicuous area first.
Q: Is the Gibecière MM still produced? A: The Gibecière is a discontinued Louis Vuitton style most commonly seen from vintage eras. The pre‑loved market is the best way to find it today, and details can vary slightly by year.
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). Vintage pieces typically include a date code on a small leather tab or along an interior seam, often inside a pocket; more recent LV releases (from around 2021) use an embedded microchip instead of a visible code. Placement and format vary—contact us for close‑up photos and help interpreting the code for this exact bag.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing notes “no accessories.” Anything included (e.g., dust bag or box) would be listed under Accessories; if an item isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included. Feel free to ask us to confirm.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag, and can Louis Vuitton service it? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip and overall construction. Louis Vuitton boutiques may offer repairs subject to assessment and parts availability (e.g., strap or trim work). Independent luxury leather specialists can also perform cleaning and restoration. We’re happy to advise on typical options and help you prepare for a boutique assessment.
