Perfect for city breaks and smart‑casual events, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Pochette Métis keeps essentials neatly organised across three compartments. Wear it crossbody for hands‑free exploring by day, then carry by the top handle to refine your evening look.
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 Pochette Métis? A: With measurements of approximately 26 × 18 × 8 cm, it comfortably fits a large smartphone, compact or continental wallet, sunglasses, keys, small cosmetics, and a slim notebook. An iPad mini or similar small tablet can fit in the main compartment if not in a bulky case. Capacity varies based on how you organise the three compartments, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Is the strap detachable and adjustable for cross-body wear? A: Yes. This piece comes with a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap. The strap drop is approximately 53 cm (adjustable), allowing both shoulder and cross‑body wear. The top handle offers a quick grab option for hand carry.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag features a brown microfibre‑lined interior with three separate compartments to keep items organised, plus an exterior zipped pocket for quick‑access essentials such as a phone or travel card.
Q: How do I operate the S‑lock closure? A: Press the S‑lock to release and lift the flap; align and press to close until it clicks. As with most used hardware, surface scratches are normal. On this item, the hardware is shiny with scratches as noted in the product information.
Q: What does the date code SR1109 mean? A: SR indicates manufacture in France. The four digits suggest production in the 10th week of 2019 under Louis Vuitton’s week/year format used prior to the brand’s 2021 move to embedded microchips on newer items. Date codes are not unique serial numbers but a guide to approximate production details.
Q: Has the Pochette Métis had glazing issues, and what is the condition of this one? A: Earlier runs of the model were known to show glazing wear with use. Normal corner wear can also occur over time. For this particular piece, the canvas shows some scuff marks and the glazing on the corners is worn, as stated in the condition notes.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and vachetta leather trim? A: Wipe coated canvas with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and mild soap; avoid alcohol‑based or harsh cleaners. Keep the natural vachetta leather away from water and oils; if it gets lightly wet, blot gently and let it dry naturally. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat, to maintain shape and patina.
Q: Is the Pochette Métis still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: Yes, Louis Vuitton continues to produce the Pochette Métis in various materials and colours. Availability can vary by boutique and season.
Q: What items are included with this product? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, a detachable shoulder strap is included. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes/production tech where present. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
