Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Vernis Wilshire PM Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 31 x 17.5 x 11 cm, this PM size is best for daily essentials such as a phone, purse, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and other compact items. It is a compact structured tote rather than a large carryall, so please refer to the Measurements in the product information for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: This style is primarily designed as a handheld tote. With a handle drop of approximately 11 cm, it may sit very snugly on the shoulder for some, but it is generally most comfortable carried in the hand or at the crook of the arm.
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.

Q: What is Vernis leather? A: Vernis is Louis Vuitton’s glossy embossed patent calf leather, finished with the Monogram pattern. It is loved for its polished, structured look and elegant shine, making it a distinctive alternative to classic canvas styles.
Q: Is Vernis leather durable for everyday use? A: Vernis is fairly resistant to light surface scratching thanks to its coated finish, but it can still show marks, indentations, and signs of wear over time. It is best suited to careful daily use rather than heavy-duty wear.
Q: Is Vernis leather prone to colour transfer? A: Yes. One of the most common questions about Vernis is colour transfer, and it is a known concern with this material. It is best to avoid prolonged contact with dark denim, magazines, dyed leather, and other strongly pigmented surfaces, as these can leave marks on the glossy finish.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Gently wipe it with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaners or solvents, and keep it away from direct heat, moisture, and prolonged sunlight. Store it upright in a cool, dry place and avoid pressing it against coloured materials that could transfer onto the surface.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This item is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows light scratches, minor wear on the corners, and a few dark marks. The interior has minor marks, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Does this bag come with any extras? A: No. According to the product information, this item comes with no accessories.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: According to the product information, this bag was made in France.
Q: Is the serial or date code readable on this item? A: The product information states that the serial number is illegible. This can happen on pre-owned Louis Vuitton items due to age or wear. An illegible code does not automatically indicate a problem, and authentication should always be based on the item as a whole, including materials, construction, hardware, and brand details.
