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 this Louis Vuitton Monogram Noé GM? A: With measurements of approximately 40 x 34 x 20 cm, this is a roomy bucket bag. It comfortably suits everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch and a water bottle, with space left for extras like a compact umbrella or small tablet. If you plan to carry tech, compare your item with the measurements listed on this page for the best guide.
Q: Is Noé GM the same as the regular Noé? A: In resale listings, the largest classic Noé is often called Noé GM for clarity. Louis Vuitton generally refers to the full-size version simply as Noé, so this listing is describing the large classic style.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This style is primarily designed for shoulder wear. The strap on this bag is adjustable, but the classic Noé usually sits best on the shoulder rather than as a true crossbody, especially on taller frames. Crossbody fit can vary depending on your height and styling preference.
Q: Why does the leather have patina and watermarks? A: Louis Vuitton's natural vachetta leather darkens and softens over time and can show watermarks, scratches and variation with use. On this bag, the visible patina, watermarks and scuffing on the base and trim are already noted in the condition description and are typical signs of age on a vintage piece.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid oils, perfume, harsh cleaners and home remedies on both canvas and leather. If the vachetta gets wet, blot it promptly with a light-coloured absorbent cloth and let it dry naturally. Store the bag in a dry place away from heat, sunlight and rough surfaces.
Q: What does the date code AR0960 mean? A: The code format indicates a bag made in France in June 1990. As with all Louis Vuitton date codes, it helps identify when and where the bag was made, but it is not a unique serial number and should be considered alongside other authenticity checks.
Q: Is the drawstring closure secure for daily use? A: The drawstring is part of the Noé's signature design and is practical for everyday use, giving the bag a wide opening and easy access. Because it is not a zip closure, very small valuables are best kept in a pouch inside for extra organisation and security.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This item is listed in good vintage condition. Externally, the vachetta leather shows visible patina, watermarks and scuffing on the base and trim; the interior has light traces of use; and the hardware is tarnished with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: Everything included is noted in the product information. For this listing, no additional items are included.
Q: Can a vintage Noé like this be repaired? A: Louis Vuitton offers repair services for leather goods, subject to assessment, availability and cost. If you ever want the bag evaluated for strap, trim or drawstring work, repairs can usually be requested through Louis Vuitton or discussed in store.
