Very Good Condition
This Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis in Monogram canvas with vachetta leather trim and brass hardware is in very good pre-owned condition with light traces of use. Ideal for city days, travel and polished everyday wear, it offers a structured silhouette with a top handle, detachable shoulder strap and organised interior compartments.
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 the Louis Vuitton Monogram Pochette Métis? A: With approximate measurements of 24 x 19 x 7 cm and three interior compartments, it typically fits daily essentials such as a smartphone, long wallet, keys, card holder, lipstick, tissues and sunglasses. It is roomy for its size, but bulkier items such as a tablet, bottle or large umbrella may make it feel quite full.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. This piece has a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 53 cm, so it can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody, as well as carried by the top handle.
Q: Is the Pochette Métis a good everyday bag? A: Yes, it is widely loved as an everyday style thanks to its structured satchel shape, practical size and organised interior. The three compartments and exterior back zip pocket help keep essentials tidy, though the bag can feel compact if it is overpacked.
Q: What comes with this bag? A: This item includes a dust bag and detachable shoulder strap. Everything included with the purchase is listed in the product information on this page.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This bag is listed in Very Good condition with light traces of use externally and internally. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle pre-owned wear.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and vachetta leather? A: The coated canvas can be wiped gently with a soft damp cloth when needed. Avoid harsh cleaners, oils, perfume and alcohol-based products. The natural vachetta leather trim can darken and develop patina over time, so it is best to protect it from rain, rubbing, direct heat and prolonged sunlight.
Q: What does the code FO 5220 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period use two letters for the production location and four numbers for the week and year of manufacture. FO indicates production in Italy, and 5220 corresponds to the 52nd week of 2020.
Q: Are wear issues around the flap or glazing something buyers often ask about? A: Yes. The Pochette Métis is a model that owners often discuss in relation to wear around the flap edges, glazing and hardware over time. For this specific piece, the condition notes describe light traces of use and shiny hardware with light scratches, so the photos and condition details are the best guide to its present state.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: A Retro Tale authenticates items using detailed checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and production codes. A date code can help confirm when and where a bag was made, but it is only one part of the overall authentication process.
