Q: What typically fits inside, and will a tablet fit? A: With approximate measurements of 32 × 27 × 2 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, and a small cosmetics pouch. Slim tablets or an iPad mini can fit; a full‑size tablet may squeeze in but is not ideal. If you want easy tablet room, the GM size is better suited.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? What is the strap drop? A: Yes. The Bloomsbury PM was designed for shoulder or crossbody wear. This piece lists an adjustable strap with about a 54 cm drop; typical examples range roughly 46–61 cm depending on adjustment, so it suits most heights for crossbody carry.
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.

Delivery & Returns
Q: Is the Bloomsbury PM still in production? A: The Bloomsbury line is a discontinued style and is no longer sold new by Louis Vuitton. It first appeared around 2009 in Damier Ebene and is now typically found on the pre‑loved market.
Q: What typically fits inside, and will a tablet fit? A: With approximate measurements of 32 × 27 × 2 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, and a small cosmetics pouch. Slim tablets or an iPad mini can fit; a full‑size tablet may squeeze in but is not ideal. If you want easy tablet room, the GM size is better suited.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? What is the strap drop? A: Yes. The Bloomsbury PM was designed for shoulder or crossbody wear. This piece lists an adjustable strap with about a 54 cm drop; typical examples range roughly 46–61 cm depending on adjustment, so it suits most heights for crossbody carry.
Q: What are the materials and is it suitable for rainy days? A: It is crafted from Damier Ebene coated canvas with dark brown treated leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Coated canvas and the treated leather are generally low‑maintenance and resist light rain; simply wipe dry after exposure.
Q: Does the front pocket have a magnetic closure and is it secure? A: Yes, the exterior front pocket closes with a concealed magnet for quick access. For valuables, we recommend using the zipped main compartment.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft cloth dampened with water and a little mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid alcohol‑based products, perfume, oils, leather lotions, or harsh cleaners on the canvas. Store the bag stuffed lightly, in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and humidity.
Q: Where is the date code on a Bloomsbury PM and what does it mean? A: On many Bloomsbury PMs the date code is found inside the exterior pocket. Louis Vuitton used two letters plus four numbers to indicate factory and production week/year (2007–2021). The brand began phasing out visible date codes in 2021 in favour of embedded microchips, but vintage pieces like this usually have a stamped code. A date code alone does not authenticate a bag.
Q: Are all Louis Vuitton bags made in France? A: Not necessarily. Louis Vuitton leather goods are officially produced in workshops in France, Spain, Italy, and the United States. This individual piece is labelled France, as noted in our product information.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Please refer to the product information on this page. For this listing, no additional items are included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item we sell undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, examining materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and date code/production data where applicable. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide further details on request.
