Finished with an adjustable shoulder strap, beige lining, one internal pocket and a zip closure, it is an elegant choice for everyday wear, from city errands to casual lunches.
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 Hudson GM Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 29 x 24 x 9 cm, this bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small notebook, and a few beauty items. It is a practical everyday size, but please compare the listed measurements with anything bulky you plan to carry.
Q: Is the Hudson GM a good everyday shoulder bag? A: Yes. The GM is the larger Hudson size and offers a comfortable everyday format with an adjustable shoulder strap and a secure top zip. It works well if you want a structured vintage Louis Vuitton bag that holds more than just the basics without feeling oversized.
Q: How is the inside organised? A: This piece has a beige lining with one internal pocket and a zipped main compartment. It is designed to keep essentials together while still being easy to access. Please use the photos and measurements on this page for the clearest sense of layout and capacity.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The Hudson GM is primarily known as a shoulder bag. The strap is adjustable, and whether it sits crossbody will depend on your height, frame, and preferred drop. The listed strap measurement for this item is 47, so we recommend checking that against a bag you already own for comparison.
Q: What should I know about the vachetta leather on this bag? A: Louis Vuitton vachetta is a natural untreated leather that darkens over time and develops patina with wear. On this bag, the leather shows visible patina, watermarks on the strap, and scuffing on the trim, which is consistent with age and use and forms part of its vintage character.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid over-wetting the leather trim. Keep the bag away from heavy rain, direct heat, and harsh cleaning products. When not in use, store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag and avoid pressing the strap or trim under heavy items.
Q: What does the code VI0096 mean? A: VI0096 is the date code listed for this item. In Louis Vuitton’s older date-code format, VI indicates production in France and 0096 points to September 2006. Date codes help identify when and where a bag was made, but they are only one part of authentication.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: No additional product information is included with this item. If you do not see something listed on the page, it should be assumed not to be included.
Q: What should I know about the interior condition before buying? A: The interior is noted as good overall, with pen marks and a slight vintage smell. This does not usually affect function, but it is worth considering if you are sensitive to scent or prefer a very fresh interior finish.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: A Retro Tale states that all items are vetted by experts before sale. For vintage Louis Vuitton pieces, authentication normally considers the overall construction, materials, hardware, stitching, stamps, and date code together rather than relying on one detail alone.
