Q: What typically fits inside this Louis Vuitton Epi Noé GM Bag? A: With its roomy 35 x 34 x 20 cm bucket shape, this bag typically fits a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetic pouch, a water bottle and other daily essentials with ease. It can also accommodate a small tablet or paperback, depending on how you organise the interior.
Q: Is this the larger Noé size? A: Yes. In many resale listings, the full-size classic Noé is informally called GM. Officially, it is generally referred to simply as the Noé, and it offers noticeably more capacity than the smaller Petit Noé and BB versions.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This model is designed primarily for shoulder wear. The strap is adjustable and listed with an approximate 30 cm drop, which is comfortable for shoulder carry, but it is usually too short for crossbody wear on most adults.
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: Is this the larger Noé size? A: Yes. In many resale listings, the full-size classic Noé is informally called GM. Officially, it is generally referred to simply as the Noé, and it offers noticeably more capacity than the smaller Petit Noé and BB versions.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This model is designed primarily for shoulder wear. The strap is adjustable and listed with an approximate 30 cm drop, which is comfortable for shoulder carry, but it is usually too short for crossbody wear on most adults.
Q: Is the drawstring closure secure? A: The drawstring helps keep the top gathered and your belongings tucked inside, but it is not as fully enclosed as a zipped bag. For everyday use it works well, though many owners prefer to keep smaller valuables in a pouch for extra organisation and peace of mind.
Q: Why is Epi leather so popular? A: Epi leather is prized for its distinctive embossed texture, structured look and durability. It generally handles everyday wear better than smoother leathers, which is one reason vintage Epi bags remain especially popular among collectors and regular users alike.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe the surface gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid oils, perfumes, alcohol-based products and harsh cleaners. To help preserve the leather, store the bag in its dust bag, keep it away from prolonged sunlight and humidity, and avoid rubbing it against rough or highly pigmented materials that could cause scratches or colour transfer.
Q: What does the code AR0945 indicate? A: For Louis Vuitton date codes used in this era, the letters indicate the production location and the numbers indicate the month and year. AR0945 corresponds to a bag made in France in April 1995. As with all Louis Vuitton date codes, it helps date the bag but should not be used as the sole proof of authenticity.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: This piece is listed in good condition overall. The exterior shows scuffing on the top edges and strap, plus signs of wear on the base corners. Inside, there is a light trace of use, and the brass hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This bag comes with a dust bag. All included items are listed in the product information, so if a box or authenticity card is not mentioned there, it is not included with this piece.
Q: Do vintage Epi bags ever develop interior issues over time? A: Some older Epi bags can develop sticky or flaky interiors if they have been stored in heat or humidity for long periods. For this specific bag, the interior is described as being in good condition with only a light trace of use, which is reassuring for a vintage piece.
