Made for busy days and chic evenings, this vintage Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis in Monogram canvas transitions effortlessly from desk to dinner. Carry by the top handle or go hands-free with the detachable strap, while the S-lock and three compartments keep essentials organised. In very good condition, it’s a polished choice for city weekends, meetings, and elegant lunches.
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 are the dimensions and weight of the Pochette Métis? A: Approx. 25 × 19 × 7 cm with a weight around 0.6 kg. It features Monogram coated canvas with natural cowhide (Vachetta) trim, a single top handle, an S-lock closure, three interior compartments and an exterior zipped pocket.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Everyday essentials such as a large smartphone, a long wallet, keys, sunglasses and a few small cosmetics fit comfortably. A slim A5 notebook or an iPad mini can fit snugly; bulkier tablet cases may be too tight. Please compare your items to the bag’s measurements for certainty.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes. The strap is detachable and adjustable with an approximate drop of 48–55 cm, making both shoulder and crossbody wear easy. On this particular piece, the measured strap drop is about 53 cm; the top handle drop is about 4 cm for hand carry.
Q: What is the back zipped pocket best for? A: It is ideal for flat items you need quick access to, such as travel cards, tickets or receipts, without opening the main compartments.
Q: Is the canvas water-resistant and how should I care for the Vachetta leather? A: Coated canvas is durable and moisture-resistant, but the untreated Vachetta leather is sensitive to water, oils and hand sanitiser. If it gets wet, blot gently with a clean, light-coloured cloth and let it dry naturally. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight, to help maintain its shape and patina.
Q: Date code or microchip—what should I expect on a pre-owned piece? A: Earlier pieces carry a stamped date code, while newer pieces (from around 2021 onward) use an embedded microchip instead of a visible code. It is not unusual for vintage codes to be faint or illegible; our team authenticates every item using multiple data points beyond date codes.
Q: Are there any known wear points I should be aware of? A: As with many structured flap bags, edge glazing and the S-lock area can show wear with use. If needed, Louis Vuitton offers repair evaluation and service for eligible items; availability and costs are determined by the brand after inspection.
Q: What exactly is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, the detachable shoulder strap is included. If you need clarification about any component, please contact us before purchasing.
Q: Where was this specific piece made? A: This item is stamped Made in France. Louis Vuitton manufactures the Pochette Métis in several countries, so “made in” stamps can vary between pieces.
Q: The description notes a vintage smell—can I minimise it? A: Yes. Air the bag in a cool, dry, shaded place and place odour-absorbing sachets (unscented) nearby. Avoid spraying perfume or using harsh cleaning products inside the bag; with time and ventilation, the scent typically softens.
