Louis Vuitton Monogram Delightful PM Bag

Q: What size is the Louis Vuitton Delightful PM, and what typically fits inside?
A: This Delightful PM measures approximately 45 x 29 x 14 cm, so it is a roomy everyday shoulder bag despite being the PM size. It will typically hold daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch, and a small water bottle, with space for a slim tablet or similar items depending on how you pack. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the most accurate size guide.

Q: Is the Delightful PM comfortable to carry on the shoulder?
A: Yes. One of the most frequently praised features of the Delightful is its wide single shoulder strap and soft hobo shape, which help it sit comfortably under the arm. This specific bag has an approximate strap drop of 20 cm, making it well suited to shoulder carry for everyday use.

Q: Does this bag zip closed?
A: No. The Delightful PM is an open-top hobo style rather than a full zip-top bag. It is designed for easy access and includes an internal zipped pocket for smaller essentials, but it does not offer the same closure feel as a fully zipped tote.

Q: What does the date code FL4133 mean?
A: The date code indicates that this bag was made in France in the 43rd week of 2013. As with Louis Vuitton in general, the date code helps identify when and where the bag was produced, but it should not be used on its own as proof of authenticity.

Q: Is this an original Delightful or a later version?
A: Based on the 2013 date code, this piece belongs to the earlier Delightful generation rather than the later updated version. Collectors often look for these earlier bags because of their relaxed slouchy shape, classic striped lining, and distinctive vintage feel.

Q: Is the Louis Vuitton Delightful discontinued?
A: Yes. The Delightful is a discontinued Louis Vuitton style, which is one reason it remains popular on the pre-owned market. For buyers who enjoy softer, lightweight Louis Vuitton hobo bags, the Delightful is often considered one of the most sought-after retired models.

Q: What does patina mean on this bag?
A: Patina refers to the natural darkening and ageing of Louis Vuitton's untreated leather trim over time. On this item, the visible patina and minor rubbing on the leather trim are consistent with normal wear for a vintage Louis Vuitton bag and are often expected on older Monogram pieces.

Q: What is included with this specific item?
A: This specific bag comes with no additional items. Everything included with the purchase is listed in the product information on this page; if something is not mentioned there, it is not included.
