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 Odeon NM PM? A: With an approximate size of 24 × 20 × 5 cm on this piece, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, passport, sunglasses in a slim case, and a few small cosmetics. A small tablet up to around 8 inches may fit without a bulky case, but larger tablets will not. Capacity varies with how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable or removable? A: Yes. The Odeon NM PM comes with an adjustable and detachable shoulder strap for shoulder or crossbody wear. On this specific item, the listed drop is about 50 cm; many Odeon PM straps adjust within a similar range to suit different heights and styling preferences.
Q: Does it have an exterior pocket for quick access? A: Yes. There is one exterior slip pocket that’s handy for items you need quickly, such as travel cards, receipts, or a slim phone.
Q: How is the NM (new model) different from the older Odeon? A: The NM version, introduced in 2020, refined the design with details such as reinforced leather corners and a coordinated luggage tag while keeping the lightweight monogram canvas, top zip closure, and practical everyday shape. It also retains an exterior pocket for convenience.
Q: What is the interior like on this piece? A: This bag has a burgundy fabric lining with one internal pocket, plus a secure top zip closure. Interior layouts can vary slightly by year, but this is the configuration of the item offered here—see Features for confirmation.
Q: Is the monogram canvas waterproof? A: The coated monogram canvas is durable and water‑resistant, making it easy to wipe clean. However, the natural Vachetta leather trim is untreated and sensitive to moisture and oils; it will develop a honey patina over time and can mark if exposed to water. Try to avoid rain and contact with liquids on the leather parts.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: For canvas, wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. For Vachetta, avoid water and harsh cleaners; handle with clean hands and store away from direct sunlight to encourage an even patina. When not in use, store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help it keep its shape.
Q: Will this bag have a date code or a microchip? A: Depending on its production year, it may have a traditional date code or a discreet embedded microchip. Louis Vuitton began phasing out date codes around 2021 in favour of microchips, so some newer Odeon NM PM pieces will not have a visible code. The absence of a code is not a red flag for newer items.
Q: Can I swap the strap for another one? A: Yes. The strap is detachable, so you can switch to another compatible strap to change the drop or look. Ensure the alternative strap has suitable width and hardware to attach securely to the D‑rings.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and interior markings or microchips. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide extra details on request.
