Perfect for evenings out, city strolls, or travel, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Marly Dragonne PM keeps essentials elegantly to hand.

A timeless vintage piece that elevates smart-casual looks and adds classic LV polish to any occasion.
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 Marly Dragonne PM? A: As a compact wristlet (approx. 23 × 15 × 4 cm), it comfortably holds a large smartphone, passport, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, and small essentials such as lip balm or earbuds. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the wrist strap detachable? A: Depending on the production run, Marly Dragonne PM pieces can have either a detachable or a fixed wrist strap. Please check the photos of this specific item to confirm the strap type. The wrist drop on this piece is approximately 17 cm for comfortable carry.
Q: What is the difference between PM and GM sizes? A: The PM is the smaller version (around 22–23 × 14–15 × 4 cm), while the GM is larger (about 26 × 15 × 4.5 cm). Both share the same design cues: Monogram canvas, vachetta trim, a wrist strap, top zip, and a handy exterior zip pocket.
Q: Does it fit modern smartphones? A: Yes. With a width of about 23 cm, it fits most large smartphones (even with a slim case), along with a few daily essentials.
Q: Is the Monogram canvas waterproof? A: The coated canvas is water‑resistant and easy to wipe clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. The natural vachetta leather trim is untreated and sensitive to water, oils and sunlight; it will develop a patina over time. Avoid alcohol‑based cleaners and harsh chemicals, and store in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
Q: Where is the date code and what does it mean? A: Vintage Louis Vuitton pieces use a date code (not a unique serial number) indicating where and when the item was made. On small clutches like the Marly Dragonne, the code is typically on a small leather tab along an interior seam or stamped directly onto the lining, and it can fade with age. Note that from 2021 many new LV bags moved to microchips rather than visible date codes; this vintage model predates that change.
Q: Is this style unisex and how is it typically worn? A: Yes. Although historically marketed within the men’s line, the Marly Dragonne is widely worn by all. It is designed to be carried by hand or on the wrist and is not intended for crossbody or shoulder wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If an item such as a dust bag, box or extra strap is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Any care tips for an older interior and odour? A: Minor peeling on vintage cross‑grain linings and a light vintage scent are common with age. Air the bag in a cool, dry place, lightly stuff with acid‑free tissue, and use odour‑absorbing sachets such as activated charcoal. Avoid powders, perfumes and harsh cleaners. If a pocket is sticky or peeling, consult a professional leather‑goods specialist for cleaning or relining.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
