Ideal for refined weekend escapes or short business trips, the Louis Vuitton Damier Greenwich GM offers generous space in a structured silhouette. With its classic brown Damier finish and sturdy top handles, it transitions effortlessly from airport lounge to city hotel, complementing both smart tailoring and relaxed off-duty looks.
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 Damier Greenwich GM? A: With approximate measurements of 55 × 33 × 26 cm, it comfortably holds a long weekend’s wardrobe, a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag, and tech essentials. A 15-inch laptop will fit best in a protective sleeve. Capacity depends on how you pack, so please refer to the Measurements on this page and our photos for guidance.
Q: Is the Greenwich GM carry-on compliant? A: At 55 cm in length, it meets the most common length limit for many airlines. However, the 26 cm depth can exceed stricter rules (often 20–23 cm). Policies vary by carrier and route, so we recommend checking your airline’s current cabin baggage allowance before flying. If packed very full, this bag may need to be checked on stricter airlines.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: The Greenwich GM was produced in versions both with and without a detachable strap. This particular piece is offered as a handheld bag with dual rolled leather handles; no strap is included unless explicitly stated in the product information. Please review the product information and photos for confirmation.
Q: What does the date code AR0014 indicate? A: AR denotes manufacture in France. For codes used from 1990–2006, the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth indicate the year. AR0014 therefore corresponds to January 2004. Please note, Louis Vuitton date codes are not unique serial numbers and, since 2021, the Maison has transitioned to microchips on newer items—so the date code is one helpful indicator rather than proof of authenticity by itself.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: It is crafted from Damier Ebene coated canvas with dark brown cowhide leather trim and gold-tone hardware, with a terracotta fabric lining. Coated canvas is durable and water-resistant, while the leather trim adds structure and a refined finish.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene coated canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid alcohol-based products, oils, and harsh cleaners. Keep leather away from prolonged moisture and heat; if it gets wet, blot gently and allow it to air dry. Do not overfill the bag, and store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag in a cool, ventilated place away from direct sunlight and radiators.
Q: How do the padlock and keys work? A: Align the zipper pulls and pass the padlock shackle through the pull holes, then lock with the key. For travel, consider leaving the bag unlocked during security screening to avoid damage. Keys are included as listed in the product information; replacement keys are not guaranteed.
Q: Is this style unisex and how is it carried? A: Yes—its clean, structured design and Damier Ebene pattern make it a timeless unisex travel bag. It is carried by hand or in the crook of the arm via the rolled leather handles (approximate handle drop 13 cm).
Q: What condition can I expect on this vintage piece? A: Overall very good. The exterior shows light signs of use; the interior fabric has a trace of use; and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review all photos for a close-up view of wear consistent with age and gentle use.
Q: What exactly is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a luggage tag, padlock and keys, as listed in the product information. If an item such as a dust bag or shoulder strap is not listed in the product information, it is not included—feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
