Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is the Louis Vuitton Vavin GM, and what usually fits inside? A: This tote measures approximately 35 x 32 x 11 cm, so it comfortably suits daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, pouch, sunglasses, a water bottle and A4-sized papers. It offers a roomy everyday silhouette, but we always recommend comparing your own items to the listed measurements for the best idea of fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. With a handle drop of approximately 22 cm, the Vavin GM is designed for comfortable shoulder carry for most users.
Q: Does the Vavin GM have a zip closure? A: No. This model has an open top, which makes it easy to reach your belongings quickly and gives it the practical feel of a classic everyday tote.
Q: Does it have interior pockets? A: Yes. The Vavin GM is known for having multiple interior compartments and a zipped pocket, which helps keep smaller essentials organised inside the open-top design.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: This piece is crafted from Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas with vachetta leather trim, brass hardware and a brown canvas lining.
Q: What does the date code SR1002 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period indicate where and when the bag was made. SR denotes production in France, and 1002 corresponds to October 2002, making this an early-2000s vintage piece.
Q: Is this a good everyday or work bag? A: Yes. The Vavin GM is a structured, practical tote with enough space for daily essentials and documents, making it a strong option for everyday use. If you plan to carry a laptop, we recommend checking your device measurements against the bag dimensions first.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in very good vintage condition. There is light wear on the corners, a light trace of use inside, and shiny hardware with light scratches.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: The product information for this item lists a dust bag as included.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and vachetta leather? A: Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft damp cloth, avoid overfilling the bag, and store it in a ventilated area in its dust bag when not in use. The vachetta leather is naturally delicate and develops patina over time, so it is best to keep it away from heavy rain, oils, perfumes and harsh cleaning products.
