Q: What size is the Louis Vuitton Mini Lin Josephine PM, and what typically fits inside? A: The PM size is a compact everyday tote at approximately 27 x 19 x 15 cm. It will typically hold daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet or card holder, keys, sunglasses, a compact, and a small pouch. It is not ideal for a laptop or A4 documents, so we recommend checking the Measurements in the product information if you plan to carry larger items.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No shoulder strap is listed in the product information for this item. This Josephine PM is designed with dual flat top handles and is best carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. The handle drop is approximately 17 cm.
Q: Is this Josephine PM suitable for everyday use? A: Yes, this size works well as a lightweight everyday bag for essentials rather than heavier loads. As this is a vintage piece, it is best not to overfill it, as travelling lighter helps preserve the shape, piping, and handles over time.
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 is Mini Lin canvas? A: Mini Lin is Louis Vuitton’s lighter woven canvas style, paired here with brown leather trim and brass hardware. It has a softer, more textile-like feel than the brand’s classic coated canvas, which gives the bag a casual vintage look while still feeling refined.
Q: Does the bag close securely? A: Yes. This bag features a zip closure across the top, which helps keep your belongings secure during everyday use.
Q: Does it have interior pockets? A: Yes. According to the product information, the bag has a tonal canvas lining with internal pockets, making it useful for organising smaller essentials such as keys, cards, or lipstick.

Q: How should I care for Mini Lin canvas and the leather trim? A: For routine care, gently wipe the bag with a soft cloth.
