With dual top handles, red Alcantara lining and a clasp closure, it’s an elegant companion for a polished office commute, weekend brunch, or refined city errands.
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 Hampstead PM? A: As a compact, structured tote (approx. 28.5 × 23 × 17 cm), it comfortably carries a large smartphone, a continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch, an A5 diary, and a small water bottle. A slim tablet up to around 10 inches may fit; a 13-inch laptop will not.
Q: Is the Hampstead PM still in production? A: No. The Hampstead line (PM/MM/GM) in Damier was produced for several years and was discontinued around 2014. It is now available only on the pre‑owned market.
Q: Can the PM be worn on the shoulder? A: It is primarily a handheld/top‑handle tote. With an approximately 18 cm handle drop, many can carry it on the shoulder over lighter clothing, though it may feel snug over thicker layers. If you prefer a roomier shoulder fit, the MM size is typically better.
Q: Does this style come with a long strap? A: No. The Hampstead PM was not designed with a detachable shoulder or cross‑body strap. It is intended to be carried by hand, in the crook of the arm, or on the shoulder depending on fit.
Q: How does the bag close and how is the interior organised? A: The top is open but secured by a gold‑tone clasp. Inside you will find one zipped pocket and two slip pockets for organisation. The base is structured with protective studs, and the sides have snap buttons to slightly expand the capacity.
Q: What is it made from? A: Damier Ebene coated canvas with dark brown treated leather trim and red microfibre lining. The treated leather is more resistant to water and stains than untreated vachetta leather, making it a durable choice for daily use.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather? A: Wipe coated canvas with a soft, damp cloth (mild soapy water if needed). Avoid alcohol‑based products, oils, or harsh cleaners on both canvas and leather. Keep leather away from prolonged moisture and dry gently if it gets wet. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Q: Where is the date code and what does it indicate? A: On many Hampstead PM bags with Alcantara/microfibre lining, the date code is heat‑stamped directly on the lining or on a small leather tab along an interior seam, sometimes inside or near a pocket. Codes can fade over time and should be used only as a guide to production date and country, not as sole proof of authenticity.
Q: Is the Hampstead heavier than other LV totes? A: It has a structured build, protective feet and a front Inventeur plaque, so it tends to feel slightly heavier than unstructured totes (such as the Neverfull) in similar sizes, while remaining suitable for everyday use.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If a dust bag, box, or other item is not specified there, it is not included.
