Q: What fits inside the Louis Vuitton Vernis Reade PM Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 23 x 18 x 10 cm, this compact tote is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a few cosmetics. It is a practical small handbag rather than a large carry-all, so we recommend checking the Measurements on this page for the best sense of scale.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: The Reade PM is primarily designed as a hand-carried tote. This item has a handle drop of approximately 10 cm, which is usually too short for comfortable shoulder wear for most people.
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: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: The Reade PM is primarily designed as a hand-carried tote. This item has a handle drop of approximately 10 cm, which is usually too short for comfortable shoulder wear for most people.
Q: Does the Reade PM have a closure or interior pocket? A: The Reade PM typically features an open top for easy access and a zip pocket inside for smaller essentials. This makes it convenient for everyday use while keeping a few items organised.
Q: What is Vernis leather, and what should I know about it? A: Vernis is Louis Vuitton’s glossy, embossed patent-style leather. It is loved for its polished finish and structured look, but like many vintage Vernis pieces it can be more sensitive than canvas to colour transfer, sunlight, and age-related changes in the finish.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Vernis bag? A: Store it away from direct sunlight and heat, and avoid contact with denim, magazines, dark leather, cosmetics, perfumes, creams, or alcohol-based products. For light surface marks, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry it carefully. Proper storage in a cool, dry space will help preserve the finish.
Q: Is yellowing, colour transfer, or stickiness common on older Vernis bags? A: These are among the most common concerns buyers ask about with vintage Vernis. Lighter Vernis shades can develop yellowing or fading over time, and older pieces may also show colour transfer or changes in surface feel depending on age and storage history. This is one reason condition and care are especially important with Vernis items.
Q: What does the date code MI0025 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this era indicate the place and production date rather than serving as a unique serial number. MI denotes production in France, and 0025 corresponds to February 2005.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This bag is listed in Very Good Condition. The exterior shows corner wear, the interior has a pen mark, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Any included product information is shown in the product information section, and this item comes with no accessories.
Q: How do you authenticate this Louis Vuitton bag? A: Every item sold by A Retro Tale is reviewed for authenticity by experts using multiple checkpoints such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and date code details. We stand behind the authenticity of the items we offer.
