Delivery & Returns
Q: What are the measurements and how does the Reade PM carry? A: It measures approximately 23 × 18 × 10 cm with a handle drop of about 10 cm. It is designed to be carried by hand or on the forearm via the dual flat top handles.
Q: What typically fits inside this Reade PM? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact or long wallet, keys, sunglasses, small cosmetics, and a small notebook. It will not fit A4 documents or a full-size tablet. A mini tablet may fit horizontally without a bulky case; please compare to the measurements provided.
Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap? A: This vintage Reade PM is a handheld tote and does not include a strap or strap rings. Some recent reissues of the Reade PM may feature different configurations, but this item should be considered hand-carry only. Please refer to the product information for what is included.
Q: What is Monogram Vernis leather and how should I care for it? A: Monogram Vernis is a patent-coated calf leather embossed with the LV pattern. Avoid prolonged contact with dark or printed textiles to minimise colour transfer, and keep away from heat and humidity that can make patent surfaces tacky. Wipe with a soft dry cloth only; avoid alcohol, acetone, or abrasive cleaners. Store stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight.
Q: Will the light ecru colour show colour transfer or yellowing over time? A: Light-toned Vernis can pick up colour from dark fabrics and may gradually discolour with UV exposure. Preventive care helps most: avoid rubbing against dark denim, rotate use, and store out of strong light. Any existing colour change is shown in our photos and noted in the condition report.
Q: Is the bag water-resistant? A: The patent Vernis surface can handle light splashes, but the natural Vachetta leather trim is sensitive to water and can spot. The bag is not waterproof. If it gets wet, blot gently and allow it to air-dry away from heat sources.
Q: What does the date code TH0066 indicate? A: TH denotes manufacture in France. With this four-digit format used before 2007, the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth indicate the year, so TH0066 corresponds to June 2006 in France.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, it is noted that no additional items are included unless specifically stated.
Q: How do you grade the condition of this bag? A: It is in Very Good condition with a light patina to the Vachetta, scuff marks on the corners, a clean interior with light trace of use, and shiny hardware with light scratches. Always review the photos and the full condition notes on this page.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Each item undergoes a multi-point inspection by our in-house experts, including assessment of materials, stitching, heat stamps, hardware, and date code consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell and are happy to provide additional information on request.
