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 Randonnée Epi GM Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 46 x 41 x 16 cm, the GM size is a roomy everyday or travel option. It can usually hold daily essentials, a water bottle, a pouch, a book or notebook, and a light layer comfortably. A tablet or slim laptop may fit depending on its exact dimensions, so we recommend comparing your items to the Measurements listed on this page.
Q: Is the Randonnée GM better for everyday use or travel? A: It works well for both. The GM is the larger Randonnée size, so it is especially popular for days when you need more capacity than a standard shoulder bag, including commuting, day trips, and light travel.
Q: How is this bag carried? A: This model features an adjustable leather strap system and a drawstring bucket silhouette, designed for comfortable shoulder or hands-free wear depending on how you adjust it. As with many vintage bucket-style bags, comfort can vary depending on how heavily the bag is packed.
Q: What are the benefits of Epi leather? A: Epi leather is known for its structured feel, textured grain, and durability. It is one of Louis Vuitton’s more practical leathers for regular use, as the embossed finish tends to be more resistant to everyday wear than smoother leathers. That said, vintage Epi pieces can still show scuffs, edge wear, and age-related marks over time.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, soaking, or heavy rubbing. Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. Because this is a vintage item, gentle handling will help preserve both the leather and the hardware.
Q: What does the date code A20912 mean? A: The code A20912 indicates production in France in January 1992. On vintage Louis Vuitton pieces, date codes help indicate when and where the item was made, but they are not unique serial numbers and should be considered as one part of the overall authentication process.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This piece is in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows minor scuffing on the corners and base, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please also review the photos closely for the most accurate visual impression.
Q: Does this item come with any extras? A: No. According to the product information for this item, it is sold with no accessories.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag closes with a drawstring top, which keeps the opening gathered while still allowing easy access to the interior. For smaller essentials, many people prefer to use a pouch or organiser inside a large drawstring bag for extra organisation.
Q: How do you authenticate this Louis Vuitton bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked for authenticity by specialists who assess details such as materials, construction, hardware, embossing, date code format, and overall craftsmanship. The date code is useful, but it is never the only factor considered when authenticating a vintage Louis Vuitton piece.
