Perfect for weekend city strolls, brunches and gallery visits, the Louis Vuitton Chantilly PM lends vintage Monogram elegance to denim, knits and a tailored trench. Compact and easy to wear, it keeps essentials close from daytime errands to relaxed evening plans, adding timeless polish to every outfit.
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 Chantilly PM? A: With approximate dimensions of 19 × 19 × 5 cm, it’s ideal for daily essentials: a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve, lipstick and small earbuds. A full‑length continental wallet, water bottle or an iPad mini‑sized tablet generally do not fit comfortably due to the curved silhouette and flap.
Q: Will my smartphone fit (including larger Pro/Max models)? A: Yes—most modern large phones fit, even with a slim case. Very bulky cases or ring grips may be snug; if you’d like, we can do a quick fit check for your specific phone.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes. The Chantilly PM features an adjustable buckle strap for shoulder or crossbody wear. On this piece, the strap drop is approximately 53 cm, giving a comfortable crossbody on most wearers (slightly higher on taller frames or over thick coats).
Q: How secure is the closure and what’s the interior layout? A: The rounded front flap closes with a buckle for good everyday security. Interiors vary by era but typically include a main compartment and one zipped pocket. Our photos show the exact configuration—this bag has a terracotta leather lining with one internal zipped pocket.
Q: Is the Chantilly PM still produced? A: The classic Monogram Chantilly PM is generally considered discontinued, so it’s mainly found on the pre‑loved market. Louis Vuitton has released other Chantilly interpretations in different eras, but this vintage PM size is sought after as a compact crossbody classic.
Q: What materials and hardware does this model use? A: It’s crafted from Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim and brass‑tone hardware. The canvas is light yet durable, while the untreated Vachetta will deepen to a warm patina over time.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and coated canvas? A: Keep Vachetta away from water, oils and prolonged sunlight to minimise watermarks and uneven darkening; wipe with a soft, dry cloth and condition sparingly with a suitable neutral product (test first on a discreet area). For coated canvas, simply wipe with a slightly damp soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals and do not over‑load the bag to preserve its shape. Store stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, with the strap tucked to prevent impressions on the leather.
Q: Where will I find the date code, and how is dating handled? A: Older Louis Vuitton pieces typically have a date code stamped on a small leather tab or along a seam (often inside or near the pocket). From around 2021, LV transitioned to an embedded microchip instead of a visible code. Placement and format vary by era—feel free to ask us for close‑up photos or assistance dating this specific bag.
Q: How does the PM compare with the MM or GM sizes? A: The Chantilly line was made in PM (small), MM (medium) and GM (large). The design language is consistent across sizes; the PM suits essentials and compact carry, while MM/GM offer more capacity for larger wallets and extras. If you need guidance on which size fits your routine, we’re happy to advise.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under “Accessories.” For this listing, no additional accessories are included (bag only). If you need a protective dust bag or organiser, let us know and we can recommend options.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip (where applicable) and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
