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 Totally MM? A: With approximate measurements of 33 × 32 × 15 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch, A4 documents/folders, and an 11‑inch tablet. A slim 13‑inch laptop usually fits upright without a bulky sleeve; thicker devices may be snug at the zip opening. If you’d like a tailored fit check for your device, just ask and we’ll test this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or tablet? A: Most 13‑inch laptops and standard tablets fit due to the 32 cm height and zip‑top design, though the curved opening can make thick cases tight. Larger 14–15‑inch laptops are generally too tall. Share your device’s dimensions and we’ll confirm the fit for this bag.
Q: How does it carry on the shoulder? A: The dual flat shoulder straps have an approximate 23 cm drop, sitting comfortably under the arm over light layers and most coats. It’s designed for shoulder carry rather than crossbody, and the tapered top helps it sit close to the body.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Totally MM features a zip‑top main compartment for everyday security, a brown textile lining with three internal slip pockets, and two generous external side pockets for quick‑access items. For travel or commuting, we recommend using a small zip pouch inside for valuables.
Q: What can the external side pockets hold? A: They’re ideal for low‑profile items you reach for often—travel cards, receipts, a compact umbrella or a small (up to ~500 ml) water bottle. Avoid overfilling to preserve the silhouette, and keep liquids sealed to protect the Vachetta leather trim.
Q: Is the Totally MM still produced? A: The Totally line is generally regarded as discontinued (around 2017). Availability today is through the pre‑loved market, with details varying slightly by canvas and production year.
Q: What does the date code MB1190 indicate? A: Louis Vuitton used date codes prior to the 2021 transition to embedded microchips. “MB1190” denotes French manufacture (“MB”) in the 19th week of 2010. Date‑code placement can vary by model and year; on totes it’s typically on a small interior tab or along a seam.
Q: What materials are used and how will they age? A: This model is crafted in Monogram coated canvas with untreated Vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The canvas is lightweight and resilient; the Vachetta will develop a honey‑toned patina over time and is sensitive to water, oils and colour transfer from dark denim.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and hardware? A: Keep the leather away from moisture and prolonged sunlight; blot any light splashes (don’t rub) and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Wipe canvas and hardware with a soft, dry cloth. If conditioning the Vachetta, use a high‑quality neutral product very sparingly and test on a discreet area first. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and pad straps/hardware to minimise impressions.
Q: What accessories are included and how is authenticity guaranteed? A: This listing states no accessories are included. 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—so you can purchase with confidence.
