Louis Vuitton describes the Pochette Métis as surprisingly roomy with three interior compartments and a rear zipped pocket, making it popular for organised everyday use. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this specific bag.
Q: What are the measurements of this specific bag? A: The measurements for this piece are approximately 25.4 cm wide, 19 cm high and 6 cm deep. The handle drop is approximately 3 cm, and the strap drop is approximately 50 cm.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. This bag includes a detachable shoulder strap and is designed to be worn on the shoulder or crossbody, as well as carried by the top handle. The strap drop for this specific item is approximately 50 cm.
Q: Is the Pochette Métis a good everyday bag? A: Yes, it is widely considered one of Louis Vuitton’s most versatile everyday styles. Buyers often choose it because it combines a structured satchel shape with hands-free crossbody wear, multiple compartments and a secure flap closure. It works well for day-to-day errands, commuting and smart casual use.
Q: How should I care for Monogram Empreinte leather? A: Monogram Empreinte leather should be handled with care. Avoid abrasive surfaces, direct heat, prolonged sunlight, water, perfume, cosmetics and alcohol-based products such as hand sanitiser. If the surface gets wet or lightly soiled, gently dry it with a soft, lint-free, light-coloured cloth. Store it in a protective pouch when not in use to help preserve its shape and finish.
Q: Does Empreinte leather change over time? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton notes that Monogram Empreinte leather naturally becomes more supple with age, and the embossing can soften over time with regular use. This is a normal characteristic of the material and part of how the leather develops its own character.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This item is rated Very Good Condition. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What accessories are included with this bag? A: This item includes a box and a detachable shoulder strap. Everything included with the purchase is reflected in the product information.
Q: What does the serial number DU3178 indicate? A: Louis Vuitton date codes in this format generally indicate the place and time of production. DU is commonly associated with France, and the four digits typically indicate the production week and year. Based on that format, DU3178 is generally understood to indicate manufacture in France in the 37th week of 2018. As with all Louis Vuitton items, a date code alone does not prove authenticity and should be considered alongside the overall construction, materials and detailing.
Q: How is authenticity assessed for a pre-owned Pochette Métis? A: Authenticity should never be judged by the serial number alone. Common checkpoints include the quality of the leather embossing, stitching consistency, hardware finish, heat stamp, interior details and overall craftsmanship. At A Retro Tale, all items are checked for authenticity by specialists before sale.
