Louis Vuitton On My Side PM Tote Bag

Soft calf leather with Monogram canvas side panels gives the On My Side PM a compact, two-material character. Black Monogram coated canvas and calf leather form the body, the dark canvas side panels contrasting with the soft leather of the main panels. Cowhide leather trim edges the bag, microfibre lining covers the interior, and gold-colour hardware finishes the fittings. It measures 25 x 20 x 12 cm / 9.8 x 7.9 x 4.7 inches (Length x height x width), a compact tote with a 12 cm depth that holds everyday essentials without a large footprint. Two large outside pockets give easy access to essentials without opening the main compartment.

A closure system with a turn-lock fastens the main compartment, a lock that turns to secure the top opening, giving a definite, mechanical closure quite different from a hook or zip. Inside, a zipped pocket provides a secure, zipped space for flat valuables, and a flat pocket gives a slim, open space for papers or cards held flush against the lining. The microfibre lining gives a soft, even finish, protecting contents and making the pockets easy to find. Four protective metal bottom studs lift the base off surfaces, protecting the leather and canvas and keeping the bag level when set down.

Two top handles, handle single x2, give hand and elbow carry, two single handles that can be gripped in the hand or rested in the crook of the elbow. A wide removable strap adds shoulder and cross-body wear, a broad strap that distributes weight across the shoulder and gives an on-trend, practical carry. The strap is removable and non-adjustable, with a strap drop of 51.0 cm/20.1 inches, a fixed long length that positions the compact tote at the hip for cross-body wear or lower over the shoulder. Removing the strap leaves the clean hand-carried form with only the two top handles visible.

Gold-colour hardware at the turn-lock, pocket fittings, strap and handle attachments ties the black canvas, soft calf leather and microfibre lining together in one warm finish, and the compact size keeps the tote easy to carry by hand or across the body without feeling bulky at the side. This reference is either made in France, Spain, Italy or in the US. Adorable in its compact size and practical in its wide strap, turn-lock closure, outside pockets and protective studs, the On My Side PM is an everyday bag that moves between hand, elbow, shoulder and cross-body carry with a single removable strap.
