Very Good Condition
This Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis in Monogram canvas with brown leather trim and brass hardware is presented in very good condition with light traces of use. Featuring a top handle, detachable shoulder strap and three internal compartments, it is an elegant choice for everyday city wear, lunch dates or travel.
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 typically fits inside this Louis Vuitton Monogram Pochette Métis Bag? A: This is a compact but well-organised everyday bag. With approximate measurements of 24 × 17 × 7 cm on this listing, it should comfortably hold daily essentials such as a phone, a small to medium wallet, keys, sunglasses, lipstick and tissues. It is best suited to essentials rather than bulky items.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap and can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody, depending on your height and preferred fit. The strap drop is listed as approximately 50 cm and adjustable, and the top handle drop is approximately 3 cm for hand carry.
Q: How is the inside of the bag organised? A: The Pochette Métis is known for its practical layout, and this bag features three internal compartments plus an exterior zip pocket. That makes it especially useful for separating everyday essentials and keeping smaller items easy to reach.
Q: What does the date code DR2116 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period use two letters followed by four numbers. DR indicates production in France, and 2116 corresponds to the 21st week of 2016. As with all Louis Vuitton pieces, a date code helps indicate production details but should not be used as the sole proof of authenticity.
Q: Where is the date code usually found on a Pochette Métis? A: On the Pochette Métis, the date code is typically found inside the rear zipped pocket on a leather tab or stitched into the side seam area. On pre-owned bags it can sometimes be faint from normal age and wear.
Q: What condition is this specific bag in? A: According to this listing, the exterior, interior and overall condition are rated Very Good, with light traces of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle pre-owned wear.
Q: Are cracking or glazing wear points something to be aware of with the Pochette Métis? A: This is a commonly discussed topic with older structured Pochette Métis bags in canvas, especially around stress points such as flap edges and glazed areas. This particular bag is currently described in Very Good condition with light wear only, but as with any pre-owned structured canvas style, avoiding overfilling and storing it carefully will help minimise future stress on the material.
Q: How should I care for vintage Monogram canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft damp cloth when needed, and avoid harsh cleaners, oils, alcohol-based products and excessive moisture. It is also best not to overstuff the bag, and to store it in a breathable protective pouch away from heat and direct sunlight so it keeps its shape well.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by experts using multiple authentication points, including materials, construction, stitching, hardware, stamps and production details. For Louis Vuitton, the date code is only one element of a full authentication review, not the only factor.
