Good Condition
This vintage Louis Vuitton Wilshire PM tote in Monogram canvas with natural cowhide leather trim and brass hardware is in good condition, showing a developed patina with watermarks and scuffing to the Vachetta. With dual flat handles and a brown microfibre-lined interior with one zipped pocket, it is an elegant choice for city outings, lunch dates or carrying everyday essentials.
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 Wilshire PM Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 38 x 18 x 12 cm, this compact structured tote is best for daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch and other small necessities. It is roomier than it looks, but it is not designed for bulky items.
Q: Will this bag fit a laptop or A4 paperwork? A: No. The Wilshire PM is a small tote and is generally too compact for most laptops and full-size A4 documents. It is better suited to everyday essentials rather than work or travel carry.
Q: Can the Wilshire PM be worn on the shoulder? A: Usually it is best carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. This listing has a handle drop of about 13 cm, so it may sit very snugly on the shoulder for some people, but it is not generally considered a comfortable shoulder bag.
Q: Does this bag have a zip closure? A: No. The Wilshire PM is an open-top tote with a central hook-style closure rather than a full zip. Inside, there is one internal zipped pocket for smaller valuables.
Q: Is the darkening and marking on the leather trim normal? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton’s natural Vachetta leather is untreated and develops a deeper honey patina over time. Watermarks, scuffs and darkening are common signs of age and use, and this particular bag’s condition report already notes visible patina, watermarks and scuffing on the base and trim.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid abrasive cleaners. Keep the Vachetta leather away from rain, oils, hand cream and prolonged direct sun, as these can deepen marks and uneven patina. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable storage space, and consider professional cleaning for older watermarks or scuffs rather than DIY treatments.
Q: What does the date code MI4160 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes indicate when and where a bag was made, rather than serving as a unique serial number. MI4160 indicates production in France in the 46th week of 2010. As with all Louis Vuitton pieces, the date code is only one part of authentication.
Q: Is the Wilshire PM a discontinued Louis Vuitton style? A: Yes. The Wilshire PM is no longer part of Louis Vuitton’s current line-up, which is one reason it remains popular on the pre-owned market. Its structured silhouette, Monogram canvas and compact everyday size make it a sought-after vintage style.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No additional items are included with this piece. Please refer to the product information section on this page for the exact inclusions for this listing.
