Q: What are the measurements of the Mallory Pochette and how does it carry?
A: The Mallory Pochette is a compact shoulder bag measuring approximately 22.5 × 13 × 6 cm, with a strap drop of about 23 cm. It is designed to be worn as a short-shoulder or handheld baguette-style bag. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact details.

Q: What typically fits inside this bag?
A: It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a large smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few cosmetics. Bulky items or large sunglass cases may limit space due to the structured shape and zip top.

Q: Is the strap adjustable or suitable for crossbody wear?
A: The Mallory Pochette features a fixed-length flat shoulder strap. It is generally not long enough to wear crossbody for most people.

Q: What is Monogram Vernis leather and how should I care for it?
A: Monogram Vernis is a glossy, embossed patent-finish leather introduced by Louis Vuitton in the late 1990s. To care for it, avoid prolonged contact with dark or printed materials (like denim, magazines, and other leathers) to reduce colour transfer, keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth when needed. Store in a cool, dry place in a breathable dust bag and never in plastic.

Q: My Vernis bag feels tacky—what causes this and what can I do?
A: Patent-finish leathers can become tacky if exposed to heat, humidity, or if stored in non-breathable materials. Air the bag in a cool, dry room and gently wipe with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid solvents, alcohol, baby wipes, or harsh cleaners; seek a professional care service if stickiness persists.

Q: What is Vachetta leather and how will it age?
A: Vachetta is untreated natural cowhide used for trims and straps. It develops a honey-coloured patina with use and is sensitive to water and oils. Watermarks may blend slightly over time but usually require professional care to diminish; prevent new marks by keeping the leather dry and handling with clean hands.

Q: Does this listing include any extras?
A: Everything included is detailed under the product information section of this page. If an item (such as a dust bag or box) is not listed there, it is not included.

Q: Where is the date code and what if it isn’t shown?
A: Many vintage Louis Vuitton bags feature a date code stamped on a leather tab or directly in the lining, sometimes faint with age. Whether or not a code is visible, every item we sell is authenticated by our experts; we can provide additional photos or details on request.

Q: How should I store this bag to maintain its shape and finish?
A: Lightly stuff the bag with acid-free tissue, close the zip without forcing, and store it upright in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. Keep Vernis away from dark fabrics to minimise colour transfer.
