Designed for the stylish weekender, the Louis Vuitton Taiga Kendall PM in black is a refined choice for city breaks and overnight business trips. With understated vintage appeal and very good condition, it’s a polished companion from Friday departures to Sunday returns.
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 Taiga Kendall PM? A: With approximate measurements of 27 × 47 × 22 cm, it suits a 2–3 day trip: a few changes of clothes, shoes, a toiletry bag, chargers, documents and a laptop in a slim sleeve. Actual capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Kendall PM cabin‑baggage compliant? A: Its 47 cm length is under most airlines’ overhead‑bag limits (often around 55–56 cm). The 22 cm depth is accepted by many carriers but may exceed stricter 20 cm rules on some routes. Policies vary, so please check your specific airline before travelling.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: Yes. This piece includes a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap; the strap drop is approximately 50 cm. It also has dual rolled top handles with an approximate 10 cm drop, as noted in the product information.
Q: Will it fit a 15‑inch laptop? A: Yes. Most 13–15‑inch laptops fit comfortably in a protective sleeve, and many 16‑inch models may also fit depending on sleeve thickness. The interior is a single, spacious main compartment suited to travel essentials.
Q: What is Taiga leather and what are its benefits? A: Taiga is Louis Vuitton’s textured, grained cowhide leather known for its structure and robustness. It resists everyday scuffs better than many smooth leathers and handles light rain well, while keeping a refined, understated look. It is not fully waterproof—wipe away moisture promptly.
Q: How should I care for vintage Taiga leather? A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol, oils and coloured conditioners. Use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly on clean, dry leather. Store lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat or sunlight, and avoid overfilling to maintain its shape.
Q: What does the date code SB0050 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes indicate production period rather than a unique serial number. For the 1990–2006 format, the 1st and 3rd digits show the month and the 2nd and 4th the year; SB0050 therefore indicates May 2000.
Q: How does the Kendall PM compare to the Kendall GM? A: The PM is the more compact option (around 47 cm wide), ideal as a smart weekender or cabin bag. The GM is larger (around 55 cm wide), offering more packing space but occupying more room and weight—better for longer trips.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section for this listing. If a dust bag, padlock or other item is not specified there, it is not included. Contact us if you would like us to confirm the contents.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps and date codes, cross‑referenced with known production standards. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
