Designed for days on the go, the vintage Louis Vuitton Noé GM in Monogram canvas is ideal for city errands, office commutes and weekend escapes. Its classic silhouette pairs effortlessly with casual or polished looks, bringing timeless LV charm to every outing.
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 are the dimensions and how much can the Noé GM carry? A: This piece measures approximately 33 × 26 × 18 cm. It is a spacious bucket bag that comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, cosmetics pouch, sunglasses case, a small water bottle and a compact umbrella. Capacity depends on how you pack and how tightly you cinch the drawstring—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or A4 documents? A: A4 documents and folders fit vertically. Slim 13-inch laptops may fit vertically without a bulky case, but as the opening is drawn closed with a cord, we recommend checking your device’s exact measurements against the bag’s height and width and using a protective sleeve. Avoid overloading to preserve the shape and strap.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: The Noé GM features a single adjustable shoulder strap designed for shoulder carry. Typical strap drops for this model are around 26–32 cm; this particular piece has an approximate 30 cm drop. It is generally not intended to be worn crossbody.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag closes with a leather drawstring. When cinched, it provides a snug closure, but it is not a zip-top design. Many clients use small pouches to organise valuables inside.
Q: Is the Monogram canvas waterproof and how does the leather age? A: Louis Vuitton’s coated Monogram canvas is durable and water-resistant, but not fully waterproof. The trim and strap are natural Vachetta leather, which is untreated and will develop a darker patina over time; it is sensitive to water and oils and can show marks if exposed to rain.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and canvas? A: Keep the bag dry and avoid contact with water, makeup, and hand sanitiser. Wipe canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh cleaners. For Vachetta, avoid baby wipes and alcohol-based products. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity, and do not hang it by the strap for long periods.
Q: Can the drawstring or leather trim be replaced? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton offers repair services for drawstrings and Vachetta components subject to assessment and a service fee. You can request an evaluation in-store or via their online repair request. Independent luxury leather specialists can also assist if you prefer third-party restoration.
Q: What does “GM” mean for the Noé, and how does it compare to the NéoNoé? A: In the resale community, “GM” is commonly used to describe the largest classic Noé size (often simply called “Noé” by Louis Vuitton). The NéoNoé is a later, more structured reinterpretation with different internal construction and hardware. The classic Noé GM is softer and slouchier with a single strap and drawstring.
Q: Where is the date code and what if it’s faded? A: On vintage Noé bags the date code is typically stamped on a small leather tab along an interior seam. Some older pieces (early 1980s and earlier) may lack a code, and codes can fade with use. Since 2021 many new LV bags use an internal microchip rather than a visible date code. A Retro Tale authenticates every item via multi-point inspection beyond any date code. The code on this piece is noted as illegible in the product information.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. This piece is listed with no additional items. If you need clarification, please contact us before purchase.
Q: What is the Noé’s origin story? A: The Noé design dates to 1932 when a Champagne producer asked Louis Vuitton to create a sturdy, stylish bag to carry five bottles—four upright and one inverted in the centre. Today’s Noé retains that generous bucket silhouette with a reinforced base and drawstring closure.
