Named after the capital of Sicily, the Louis Vuitton Palermo was first released in 2008. Upon its debut, it was an immediate hit. Loved for its fun accents, the Palermo is detailed with side pleats and a logo charm. It also features a zipper closure, canvas lining, and interior slip pockets.

Typically, Louis Vuitton releases each style bag in a variety of sizes. Its most common are referred to as PM, MM, and GM. Abbreviations of their French names, PM stands for Petit Modèle (Small Model), MM for Moyen Modèle (Medium Model), and GM for Grand Modèle (Large Model). Often, the style looks exactly the same in all three sizes, but sometimes its silhouette and detailing change.

The Louis Vuitton Palermo was designed in two sizes: PM and GM. Though they are identical, their sizes give them completely different functions. Measuring 14.5” x 11”, the Louis Vuitton Palermo PM is a handbag. Fitting a little more than just the essentials, it is the perfect everyday bag. Whether on a quick trip to the grocery store or a leisurely lunch, the Palermo PM has space for everything you need. Measuring 17.25” x 13.5”, the Louis Vuitton Palermo GM is a shopper. Spacious enough to carry a laptop and change of clothes for the gym, it is the perfect office bag. More stylish than a briefcase, it will elevate your work look.

To make the Palermo easier to carry, both sizes were later updated with a detachable shoulder strap.
