Very Good Condition
This Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis in brown Monogram canvas with natural leather trim and brass hardware is in very good condition. Finished with a top handle, detachable shoulder strap and S-lock flap closure, it is ideal for city days, travel or smart everyday wear, bringing iconic Louis Vuitton style to your 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 Louis Vuitton Monogram Pochette Métis? A: With measurements of approximately 25 × 19 × 7 cm and three interior compartments, it is designed for daily essentials. A phone, long wallet, keys, earphones, lipstick, tissues and sunglasses will usually fit comfortably, but it is not large enough for a tablet or bulkier items.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody as well as by hand? A: Yes. This piece has a single top handle and a detachable shoulder strap. The listed strap drop is approximately 48–55 cm, so it can usually be worn on the shoulder or crossbody depending on your height and preferred fit.
Q: How is the bag organised inside? A: The interior is lined in brown microfiber and divided into three compartments, which helps keep essentials separated. There is also an exterior zipped pocket for quick-access items.
Q: Will my phone fit in the outside pocket? A: In many cases, yes for slimmer phones, cards or travel passes, but the fit depends on your handset size and case. If you carry a larger phone in a bulky case, we recommend comparing it with the bag measurements before purchasing.
Q: What should I know about the Vachetta leather trim? A: Natural Vachetta leather develops patina over time from light, handling and moisture. This specific bag already shows visible patina on the leather details, which is normal for Louis Vuitton Monogram pieces and part of their aged character.
Q: Are wear issues common on the Pochette Métis? A: This model is often discussed online for glazing wear and cracking around stress points on canvas versions. For this specific bag, the condition is noted as very good overall, with visible patina, light interior traces of use and light scratches on the hardware. We recommend reviewing all photos closely for the exact condition.
Q: What is included with this item? A: According to the product information for this piece, it comes with a detachable shoulder strap. If another item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What does the code FO 2198 mean? A: Louis Vuitton used date codes on bags from this era to indicate production details rather than a unique serial number. This bag carries code FO 2198, which should be viewed as one element of the bag’s product information and authentication profile rather than proof on its own.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, and keep the natural leather trim away from rain, oils and prolonged heat. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. As this piece also has a vintage smell, airing it out gently in a dry room can help.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by experts using a multi-point assessment of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. Louis Vuitton date codes are helpful, but they are not unique serial numbers and should never be the sole basis for authentication.
