From weekend brunch and shopping in the city to cocktails and date nights, the Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Favorite MM lends timeless polish to any look. A refined choice for weddings, theatre evenings, or travel, it transitions effortlessly from day to night and complements both smart-casual and formal ensembles.
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 are the dimensions and what typically fits inside? A: This Favorite MM measures approximately 25 × 17 × 4 cm. It comfortably holds a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys and small cosmetics. A slim tablet such as an iPad mini may fit without a bulky case, but it will be a snug fit and overfilling can prevent the magnetic flap from closing—please compare your device to the measurements above.
Q: How can I wear this bag and what are the strap drops? A: It comes with a short gold‑tone chain for hand or shoulder carry and a detachable leather strap for cross‑body. On this piece, the chain drop is about 19 cm and the leather strap drop is about 55 cm. You can also remove the long strap and tuck the chain inside to carry it as a clutch.
Q: Is the Damier Ebene Favorite MM still in production? A: The Damier Ebene canvas Favorite MM is no longer part of Louis Vuitton’s current canvas line‑up and is now found mainly on the pre‑loved market. The House currently offers a modern Favourite in Monogram Empreinte leather with a removable, adjustable strap and a detachable chain.
Q: Is the magnetic flap secure and will it affect my bank cards? A: The flap uses a strong magnet for quick, secure closure when the bag isn’t overfilled. Modern chip cards are generally unaffected by everyday magnets, but magnetic‑stripe cards can be demagnetised by prolonged, close contact. To be safe, store cards in a wallet or inner pocket away from the front flap magnet.
Q: What is the material and how do I care for it? A: The bag is crafted from Louis Vuitton’s coated Damier Ebene canvas with dark brown leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged heat or direct sunlight. Do not overpack, and store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag in a cool, ventilated area.
Q: What does the date code DU0126 mean on this item? A: DU indicates manufacture in France. Using Louis Vuitton’s 2007–2021 format, the first and third digits show the production week and the second and fourth digits show the year—so DU0126 corresponds to the 2nd week of 2016. Note that date codes are not unique serial numbers, and from 2021 Louis Vuitton moved to microchips instead of printed codes on new items.
Q: What is included with this specific piece? A: Please refer to the product information on this page for the exact contents. For this item, the product information lists a dust bag and a detachable shoulder strap; the chain strap is present.
Q: Is it suitable for daily use and light rain? A: Yes—coated canvas is hard‑wearing and water‑resistant, making it great for daily wear. However, it’s not fully waterproof and the leather trim and hardware can be affected by moisture. If caught in rain, blot dry with a soft cloth and allow to air dry naturally.
Q: Any tips to minimise wear over time? A: Avoid overfilling to keep the flap closing cleanly, be mindful that the chain and hardware can scratch if rubbed against the plaque, and store the chain tucked in a pouch or wrapped when not in use. Keep the bag away from abrasive surfaces, and use a soft polishing cloth on hardware—never abrasives or metal polishes.
