Louis Vuitton Monogram Favorite PM Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Monogram Favorite PM Bag?
A: The Favorite PM is a compact bag best suited to essentials. With measurements of approximately 24 x 17 x 3 cm, it will usually fit a phone, cardholder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick, and a few small personal items. Because of its slim profile, bulkier pouches and larger long wallets may be a tight fit.

Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody, on the shoulder, or as a clutch?
A: Yes. The Favorite PM is known for its versatile day-to-evening design. This specific bag includes a detachable shoulder strap and also features the signature chain detail, so it can be styled for shoulder wear or carried more elegantly for the evening. The strap drop is approximately 56 cm and the handle drop is approximately 18 cm.

Q: Is the PM the smaller size of the Favorite bag?
A: Yes. PM stands for Petit Modèle, which is the smaller size in the Favorite line. It is ideal if you prefer a lighter, more compact bag for essentials rather than a roomier everyday carry-all.

Q: What is included with this bag?
A: This item comes with a detachable shoulder strap. The bag also features the classic chain strap as part of the design. If something is not shown in the product information or images, it should not be assumed to be included.

Q: Does the bag have an inside pocket and a secure closure?
A: Yes. This bag has a red canvas lining with one internal pocket and a magnetic flap closure. It is practical for organising small essentials, though it is best not to overfill the bag so the flap closes neatly and the shape stays elegant.

Q: What does the date code FL4133 mean?
A: Under Louis Vuitton’s date code system used at the time, FL indicates production in France and 4133 corresponds to the 43rd week of 2013. Date codes are useful for understanding when and where a bag was made, but they are not unique serial numbers and should not be used on their own to judge authenticity.

Q: What condition should I expect from this specific bag?
A: This piece is listed in very good condition with light traces of use. The exterior shows light wear, the interior has light wear with some marks, and the hardware shows scratches and discolouration. As with most vintage and pre-owned Louis Vuitton bags, gentle signs of age are normal and part of the character of the piece.

Q: Does the hardware on the Favorite PM show wear easily?
A: The front plate and metal details on the Favorite PM can pick up scratches over time with regular use. On this particular bag, the hardware condition is noted as having scratches and discolouration, so this has already been reflected in the product information.

Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and leather trim?
A: To help preserve the bag, avoid overfilling it, keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight, and excess moisture, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth when needed. Store it in a breathable dust bag or ventilated space rather than in a sealed box, and avoid harsh commercial cleaners on the canvas or leather trim.
