Very Good Condition
Perfect for city commutes and weekend wanders, this Louis Vuitton Monogram Outdoor Messenger keeps essentials secure and close at hand. The sleek silver-tone leather-and-canvas finish adds a contemporary edge, while the adjustable shoulder strap offers comfortable, hands-free wear. From coffee runs to gallery visits, its zipped storage makes light work of urban days and polished evenings alike.
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 Outdoor Messenger PM? A: With its slim profile, it’s ideal for daily essentials: a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, passport, AirPods, a slim sunglasses sleeve, and small extras like hand sanitiser or a compact charger. An A5 notebook/diary or an e‑reader usually fits. Because of the streamlined 5 cm depth, bulky pouches and water bottles are less suitable. Please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or a laptop? A: Small tablets such as an iPad mini or similar 8‑inch devices typically fit. Standard 10–11 inch tablets and laptops generally do not fit comfortably due to the height and the zip opening. For certainty, compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements provided, or ask us to test the fit against this specific bag.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes—the Outdoor Messenger features a single adjustable shoulder strap designed for shoulder or crossbody wear. We list the strap drop under Measurements—if anything is missing, just ask and we’ll confirm the range for you.
Q: Is the strap removable? A: The strap on most Outdoor Messenger PM models is adjustable but not designed to be detached. Our listing photos show the exact attachment style for this piece—contact us if you’d like close‑ups or guidance on alternative carry options.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the pocket layout? A: The main compartment closes with a zip for everyday security. There’s a practical external zipped pocket for quick‑access items, and a black fabric‑lined main compartment inside. Please review our photos for the exact interior layout of this bag.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have, and where is it made? A: This listing specifies silver‑tone Monogram embossed leather and canvas with silver‑tone hardware and a black fabric lining. It is stamped Made in Italy. Our photos show the precise finish and details of this exact bag.
Q: How should I care for the embossed leather/canvas and hardware? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim, especially with lighter or metallic‑tone finishes. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leather sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product after testing on a discreet area. Store it lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag; avoid overfilling to preserve the slim profile. Hardware can develop hairline scratches with normal use—avoid abrasive surfaces and protect metal contact points during storage.
Q: Is it water‑resistant? A: Coated canvas offers good day‑to‑day resilience, but any leather components are not waterproof, and the bag is not sealed for heavy rain. Light showers can be managed by wiping dry promptly; for heavier weather, we recommend a protective cover and allowing the bag to air‑dry naturally away from heat if it gets wet.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: You’ll find an interior “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” heat‑stamp and a country‑of‑origin stamp. Older LV bags typically include a date code; from around 2021, Louis Vuitton transitioned to an embedded microchip instead of a visible code. Placement and format vary—contact us for close‑up photos and details for this exact piece.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Any included items (e.g., dust bag or box) are listed under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date code/microchip. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
