Compact and refined, the Louis Vuitton Pochette Jour PM in black leather is ideal for meetings, travel or evenings out, keeping essentials neatly organised with its secure L‑zip closure. Slip it into a larger bag by day, or carry as a sleek pouch at night.
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 Pochette Jour PM? A: With approximate measurements of 23 × 17.5 × 0.4 cm, it holds a large smartphone, a slim cardholder or compact wallet, passport, keys, folded notes/receipts and a few small cosmetics. The interior flat pocket helps to separate cards or travel documents. For best accuracy, compare your items to the measurements provided.
Q: Will a tablet or A5 notebook fit? A: Most tablets and A5 notebooks exceed the 17.5 cm height, so they generally will not fit. Smaller diaries around A6 size and very slim e‑readers under roughly 17 cm on their longest side may fit if kept minimal.
Q: Does it come with a strap or wristlet? A: The Pochette Jour PM is designed to be hand‑carried with an L‑shaped zip; it does not have a shoulder strap or D‑rings. The product information for this listing shows no additional items included.
Q: What does PM mean, and how does it compare to MM or GM? A: PM stands for Petit Modèle, meaning the small size. MM (Moyen Modèle) is medium and offers more capacity; GM (Grand Modèle) is larger again. Exact dimensions vary by model, so always check the measurements on each listing.
Q: What does the date code TJ2168 mean? A: The letters indicate the country and the numbers indicate the production period. TJ corresponds to a French workshop, and 2168 decodes to the 26th week of 2018. Date codes are not unique identifiers and are one of several points considered in authentication. From around 2021, some newer Louis Vuitton items use an embedded chip instead of a visible date code.
Q: What material is this and how should I care for it? A: This piece is crafted in grained leather with a microfiber lining and silver‑toned hardware. Keep it away from water, oils, perfumes and alcohol‑based products; wipe with a soft, dry cloth; and store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Is it suitable for both men and women? A: Yes. Although often sold within Louis Vuitton’s men’s line, the clean, minimal design and slim profile make it a versatile unisex pouch for work or evening.
Q: How secure and practical is the L‑zip closure? A: The L‑shaped zip allows a wide opening for easy access while keeping contents secure when closed. The slim profile is ideal as a hand‑held clutch or as an organiser inside a tote or briefcase.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. For this listing, no additional items are included unless explicitly stated.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes where applicable. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to share further details on request.
