Q: What typically fits inside the Noé GM?
A: With approximate measurements of 34 × 27 × 19 cm, the Noé GM comfortably holds everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses in a soft case, a cosmetics pouch, a small water bottle and an A4 notebook/diary. Packing style and use of small pouches will influence capacity.

Q: Does the Noé GM fit a laptop?
A: A 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve generally fits upright due to the height, though we recommend using a padded sleeve and checking your device’s exact dimensions against the bag’s internal space. Heavier devices may affect comfort as the bag closes with a drawstring rather than a zip.

Q: What does the date code AR0955 indicate?
A: AR denotes production in France and the four digits indicate the date in the historical format used in the 1990s. AR0955 corresponds to May 1995, which aligns with this being a vintage piece.

Q: What does GM mean in Louis Vuitton sizing?
A: GM stands for Grand Modèle, the large size in the classic Noé family. The Noé was originally created in 1932 to carry five bottles of champagne, hence its generous bucket silhouette and drawstring closure.

Q: Is Epi leather durable and water-resistant?
A: Epi leather is deep-dyed, textured and known for its durability and resistance to light rain and scratches. It is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to moisture should be avoided.

Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather?
A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaners, oils or alcohol-based products. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat, to maintain shape and colour.

Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody?
A: This model features a single adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate 30 cm drop as listed. It is designed for shoulder carry; crossbody wear is typically not feasible on the GM length without modifications.

Q: Can the drawstring be replaced or repaired?
A: Yes. Louis Vuitton offers repair services that can assess and, if suitable, replace components like the drawstring. Turnaround and costs vary based on condition and availability; we can help initiate a Care Service request on your behalf.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: The product information for this listing states that no additional items are included. Everything that comes with the bag is always listed under product information; if something isn’t listed there, it is not included.

Q: There is mention of a light vintage smell—will it fade?
A: A gentle vintage odour is common with older leather. Air the bag in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and place odour-absorbing sachets inside. Avoid perfume sprays or harsh deodorisers. With time and proper storage, the scent usually softens.

Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag?
A: Every item is thoroughly vetted by our in-house experts through multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and the date code, supported by specialist tools and experience. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
