Louis Vuitton Monogram Pochette Félicie Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Monogram Pochette Félicie Bag?
A: This is a compact bag designed for essentials. It typically fits a phone, cards, keys, lipstick and a few small extras. With this listing's approximate measurements of 21.5 x 12.5 x 3 cm, it works best for slim items rather than bulky purses or large cases. If you remove one or both inserts, you gain a little more room.

Q: Can it be worn crossbody, on the shoulder, or as a clutch?
A: Yes. This piece comes with a detachable chain strap and can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody, or carried as a clutch once the chain is removed. The listed strap drop is approximately 55 cm.

Q: Does a phone fit inside?
A: In most cases, yes. The Pochette Félicie is generally sized to hold a modern smartphone, and Louis Vuitton notes that the style fits a 6.7-inch phone. Exact fit will depend on your handset and case thickness, especially if you are also using both inserts.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: According to the product information for this listing, the bag includes the detachable chain strap and two removable inserts. On the standard Félicie layout, these are a zipped pouch and a flat card insert, which help keep cards, cash and small essentials organised.

Q: Is the Pochette Félicie suitable for everyday use?
A: It is best suited to light daily carry, events, dinners and travel essentials. Many owners choose it because it moves easily from day to evening, but it is a small-format style, so it is ideal if you prefer to carry only the basics.

Q: What does the date code CA3290 tell me?
A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this era indicate where and roughly when a piece was made rather than acting as a unique serial number. The CA prefix corresponds to Spain, which aligns with this bag's country-of-origin information. Date codes are only one part of authentication and should always be considered alongside materials, construction and hardware details.

Q: What condition should I expect from this vintage piece?
A: This listing is graded Very Good condition. The exterior shows light traces of use and some marks, the interior has smaller stains on the inside of the flap and a light vintage smell, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage bags, minor signs of age and storage are normal.

Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas?
A: Gently wipe the canvas with a soft cloth lightly dampened with mild soapy water, while avoiding the leather trim. Keep it away from rain, prolonged humidity, direct heat, perfume, make-up and hand sanitiser, and store it in a breathable dust bag when not in use. Keeping the bag lightly stuffed can also help preserve its shape.

Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by in-house experts using multiple authenticity markers such as materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date-code details. The date code supports the assessment, but it is never relied on in isolation.
