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 Epi Sac D'Epaule GM Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 36 × 35 × 14 cm, the GM size is roomy enough for daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetic pouch, and a compact umbrella or water bottle. It can also suit documents or a small tablet, but we recommend comparing the measurements on this page with anything you plan to carry.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This model is designed primarily as a shoulder bag. The single strap offers a comfortable shoulder carry, but it is generally not long enough for a true crossbody fit on most people.
Q: Does this bag come with a pouch? A: Yes, this item includes a pouch. Everything included with this piece is shown in the product information on this page.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The Sac D'Epaule GM uses a wrap-around strap closure rather than a full zip top. It helps keep the bag neatly closed for everyday use, but it is not as enclosed as a zipped bag, so we recommend placing valuables in the pouch or deeper inside the bag.
Q: What makes Epi leather a popular choice? A: Epi leather is one of Louis Vuitton's most recognisable leathers, known for its textured finish, structured feel, and everyday durability. Many collectors like it because it is more understated than monogram canvas and tends to hold its shape well.
Q: Is Epi leather scratch-resistant? A: Epi leather is generally more durable than many smooth leathers, but it is not scratch-proof. Light scratches and signs of wear can still appear over time, especially on vintage pieces, and this bag already shows scratches on the leather as noted in the condition details.
Q: How should I care for vintage red Epi leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, oils, or excessive rubbing. Store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag and keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight, heat, and humidity to help preserve the leather and colour.
Q: What condition should I expect from this specific bag? A: This piece is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows scratches on the leather, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with careful vintage wear.
Q: Is this bag vintage, and where was it made? A: Yes, this is a vintage Louis Vuitton style, and the country of origin listed for this piece is France. The Sac D'Epaule GM is a discontinued design, which adds to its vintage appeal.
Q: How is authenticity assessed for a pre-owned Louis Vuitton bag? A: Authenticity is typically assessed through a combination of leather quality, construction, stitching, hardware, stamping, lining, and date-code details where present. A date code can help with production information, but on its own it is not proof of authenticity.
