Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Monogram Empreinte Métis Hobo? A: With measurements of approximately 34 × 30 × 12 cm, this bag works well for everyday essentials. It will usually fit a full-size wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetic pouch, and a compact notebook or e-reader. It is roomy for daily use, but it is not designed as a large work or travel tote.
Q: How can this bag be carried? A: This item features a single flat handle as well as a detachable shoulder strap listed in the product information. It can be carried by hand or worn on the shoulder, and depending on your height and preferred fit it may also suit longer hands-free wear. We recommend comparing the listed strap measurement of 45 cm with a bag you already own for the best idea of fit.
Q: Is the front S-lock pocket practical? A: Yes. The front pocket is ideal for slim essentials you want close at hand, such as a phone, cardholder, tickets or keys. To keep the shape neat and the lock easy to use, it is best not to overfill this compartment.
Q: Is this bag secure enough for daily use? A: This Métis Hobo style is practical for everyday wear, with interior organisation and a front S-lock pocket for quick access. As with many hobo-style bags, it is best to keep valuables in the inner compartments or in a pouch, especially when travelling or commuting in busy areas.
Q: Is Monogram Empreinte leather durable for everyday use? A: Monogram Empreinte is one of Louis Vuitton’s best-known embossed leather finishes and is generally appreciated for being supple yet practical. It tends to age well with regular use, but like any leather bag it can still show rubbing on the corners, edges and handle over time.
Q: How should I care for Empreinte leather? A: Avoid abrasive surfaces, rain, prolonged humidity, direct sunlight and heat. Keep the bag away from perfume, oils and dark materials that may transfer colour. If the surface becomes damp or marked, gently blot it with a soft, light-coloured cloth and never use soap or solvents. Store it in a breathable pouch when not in use and avoid overfilling it so the shape stays well preserved.
Q: What does the code CA3173 mean? A: Louis Vuitton uses date codes rather than unique serial numbers on many older bags. In this format, the letters indicate the place of manufacture and the numbers indicate the production week and year. CA3173 points to production in France in the 37th week of 2013.
Q: What is included with this specific item? A: The product information for this piece lists a detachable shoulder strap and keys. If another item is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition is this particular bag in? A: This bag is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows light wear on the corners and some wear on the edges of the handle, the interior has a small stain, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
