Louis Vuitton Monogram Empreinte Pochette Metis Bag
This vintage Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis MM in black Monogram Empreinte leather with brass hardware is presented in very good condition. Featuring a top handle, detachable shoulder strap, striped canvas lining with three compartments and an S-lock flap closure, it is a refined choice for everyday wear, city outings or casual evening plans.
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 Empreinte Pochette Métis? A: With measurements of approx. 25 x 19 x 7 cm, it is compact but surprisingly practical. It will usually fit a long or compact wallet, a phone, keys, sunglasses, tissues, lipstick and other everyday essentials. The structured interior helps keep items neatly separated.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. This piece has a single top handle as well as a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap, so it can be carried by hand, on the shoulder or crossbody. The strap drop is approximately 55 cm when adjusted to its longest setting.
Q: How is the bag organised inside? A: The Pochette Métis is known for its practical layout. This bag has a striped canvas lining with three interior compartments, plus an outside zipped pocket at the back for slim essentials you want to reach quickly.
Q: Is Monogram Empreinte leather a good everyday material? A: Yes. Monogram Empreinte is a supple grained leather with the Louis Vuitton motif embossed into it, so it feels softer and more luxurious than coated canvas while still offering good structure and everyday usability. It is a strong choice if you want a more understated Louis Vuitton look in black leather.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: To help preserve Empreinte leather, avoid rough surfaces, excess heat, direct sunlight, rain, oils, perfume and alcohol-based products such as hand sanitiser. If the surface gets marked, wipe it gently with a soft, light-coloured cloth and allow it to dry naturally. Store it in a breathable pouch when not in use.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: This item includes a detachable shoulder strap. Any other included items should be confirmed under the product information on this page; if something is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What does the date code DU1129 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period usually indicate the place and time of production rather than serving as a unique serial number. DU1129 typically indicates production in France in the 12th week of 2019, which aligns well with this item’s French origin label.
Q: Is the Pochette Métis known for any wear points? A: Many buyers ask about glazing, flap-edge wear and hardware marks on the Pochette Métis. On any pre-owned example, it is sensible to review the corners, flap edges, strap attachments, back pocket and S-lock area carefully. This particular piece is described as being in Very Good condition with light traces of use and light scratches to the hardware.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair a Pochette Métis if needed in future? A: Louis Vuitton does offer repair assessments for leather goods, although availability depends on the issue and their current service policy. If future maintenance is ever needed, the brand can usually advise on possible repairs and provide a cost estimate after inspection.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: At A Retro Tale, each Louis Vuitton item is checked for important details such as materials, embossing, stitching, hardware, date code and overall construction, so you can shop pre-owned with confidence.
