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 Manhattan GM Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 39 x 25 x 13 cm, it comfortably fits daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetic pouch, and other small personal items. Its structured shape also makes it practical for a slim tablet or organiser. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size.
Q: How is this bag carried? A: This model is primarily designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm with its dual rolled handles. The handle drop is approximately 16 cm, and this specific item does not include a shoulder strap.
Q: What are the two front pockets useful for? A: The two external push-lock pockets are ideal for smaller essentials you want to reach quickly, such as cards, receipts, lip balm, or other slim items, without opening the main compartment.
Q: What materials and features does this bag have? A: This bag is crafted in Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas with brown leather trim and brass hardware. It features dual rolled handles, a beige lining with one internal pocket, a zip closure, and two external pockets with push-lock closures.
Q: Is the wear on the leather normal for a vintage Louis Vuitton bag? A: Yes. Natural Vachetta leather is known to darken and develop patina over time, and vintage pieces often show signs of use such as watermarks and surface wear. On this particular bag, the leather has a visible patina, with watermarks, cracking on the handles, and scuffing on the trim.
Q: Is the date code readable on this item? A: The date code on this piece is noted as illegible. On older Louis Vuitton bags, date codes can become faint or difficult to read over time. A date code can help indicate production details, but it is only one part of the overall authentication process.
Q: What is the interior and hardware condition like? A: The interior is in good condition overall, with pen marks on the inside. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Are any additional items included with this bag? A: No, this item is listed with no additional items included.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Avoid overfilling it, keep it away from rain and direct heat, and store it in a breathable dust bag when not in use. Clean the coated canvas gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoid using commercial cleaners on the untreated leather trim, as it is delicate and absorbent.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by in-house experts using detailed checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date code details, so you can shop pre-owned with confidence.
