This vintage Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis MM in Monogram canvas with natural leather trim and brass hardware is in very good condition, with light traces of use and light scratches to the shiny hardware. Ideal for city days, lunch meetings or everyday errands, it brings a polished finish whether carried by the top handle or worn on the shoulder.
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: Is this the classic Pochette Métis MM size? A: Yes. This listing is the Pochette Métis MM, the classic satchel-style size. Its measurements are approximately 24 x 19 x 8 cm, which matches the well-known everyday Pochette Métis format.
Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Monogram Pochette Métis? A: The Pochette Métis is compact but surprisingly roomy thanks to its structured interior compartments. It typically fits a smartphone, a long or compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, tissues, lipstick and other daily essentials. It is best for organised everyday carry rather than bulky items.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. This bag has a single flat top handle and a detachable adjustable shoulder strap, so it can be carried by hand, on the shoulder or crossbody. The listed strap drop is approximately 47 cm, so how low it sits will depend on your height and styling preference.
Q: Is the Pochette Métis a good everyday bag? A: For many people, yes. It is one of Louis Vuitton's most popular everyday styles because it combines a secure flap closure, practical compartments and hands-free wear. It works especially well for city use, errands and day-to-day essentials, though it is not designed for larger items such as tablets or laptops.
Q: What is the exterior zip pocket useful for? A: The rear zip pocket is handy for slim items you want to reach quickly, such as receipts, travel cards, parking tickets or a phone, depending on the phone size and case. It is a practical feature that many owners use for on-the-go organisation.
Q: Are there any common wear points to know about on a pre-owned Pochette Métis? A: A commonly discussed point on this model is wear to the glazed edges around the flap and strap contact areas, along with light scratches to the hardware from normal use. This specific bag is listed in very good condition with light traces of use inside and out, and shiny hardware with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and natural leather trim? A: Clean the coated canvas gently with a soft damp cloth if needed, and avoid perfume, oils, harsh cleaners and excess moisture. The natural leather trim will darken and develop patina over time, which is normal. To help preserve the shape, avoid overfilling the bag and store it in a breathable dust bag or felt pouch away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: What does the date code DR1183 mean? A: DR1183 is a Louis Vuitton date code consistent with production in France in the 13th week of 2018. On pre-2021 Louis Vuitton pieces, date codes indicate where and roughly when the item was made; they are useful reference points but are not, by themselves, proof of authenticity.
Q: What comes with this item? A: This bag includes a detachable shoulder strap. Please refer to the product information section on this page for what is included; if an item is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
