Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Empreinte Lumineuse PM Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 34 x 30 x 19 cm, this PM size is roomy enough for everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a tablet or compact notebook. It also works well for daily errands or office use. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this item.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This bag includes a shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 19 cm. It is best suited to handheld or shoulder wear. Some owners also discuss crossbody wear for the Lumineuse line, but comfort depends on height, how full the bag is, and personal preference, so it is generally better considered a shoulder tote than a dedicated crossbody style.

Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This bag includes a shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 19 cm. It is best suited to handheld or shoulder wear. Some owners also discuss crossbody wear for the Lumineuse line, but comfort depends on height, how full the bag is, and personal preference, so it is generally better considered a shoulder tote than a dedicated crossbody style.
Q: What is Louis Vuitton Empreinte leather? A: Empreinte is Louis Vuitton’s supple grained calfskin with the Monogram pattern embossed into the leather rather than printed on coated canvas. It is loved for its soft feel, elegant look, and more luxurious, understated finish while still being durable enough for regular use.
Q: Does Empreinte leather hold up well over time? A: Yes, Empreinte leather is generally known for good durability, but like any natural leather it can develop wear with use. Over time it may soften and become more relaxed in shape, and the surface can show scuffs, corner wear, or scratches if rubbed against rough surfaces. The hardware can also pick up light scratches through normal use.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Store it in a dry place, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. Avoid prolonged sunlight, heat, moisture, perfumes, oils, hand sanitiser, and highly pigmented materials that may transfer colour. If the surface gets damp or lightly marked, gently blot or wipe it with a soft, lint-free, light-coloured cloth. Avoid soaps, solvents, or harsh leather treatments.
Q: What is the condition of this specific item? A: This bag is listed in good condition. The exterior shows signs of wear and scuffing, with cracking and wear along the handle glazing. The interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. These details are reflected in the price and are worth reviewing carefully in the product images.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This item includes a shoulder strap and padlock. Everything included with the purchase is reflected in the product information for this listing.
Q: What does the code SP3141 mean? A: Louis Vuitton used date codes on many bags from this era rather than unique serial numbers. The code SP3141 is consistent with production in France, and the numeric format indicates the 34th week of 2011. As always, a date code is only one part of authentication, which is why overall construction, materials, hardware, and finishing matter as well.
