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 Cité Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 21 x 13 x 5 cm, this compact style is best for the essentials: a phone, card holder or small wallet, keys, lipstick and a few slim daily items. It is not designed for bulkier pieces such as a water bottle, tablet or large purse.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This model is designed primarily as a short shoulder bag. With a strap drop of about 25 cm, it usually sits neatly under the arm rather than across the body.
Q: Is the Pochette Cité one of the smaller Cité bags? A: Yes. It is generally considered one of the smaller structured styles in the Cité family, which is why it has a slim, compact silhouette suited to essentials rather than larger everyday loads.
Q: What condition should I expect from this vintage piece? A: It is listed in very good condition with light traces of use to the exterior and interior, and shiny hardware with light scratches. As a vintage Louis Vuitton bag, gentle age-related wear is normal and forms part of its character.
Q: What is the front zip pocket best used for? A: The front zip pocket works well for slim items you want to reach quickly, such as cards, receipts or other flat essentials. It is best not to overfill this compartment so the bag keeps its neat shape.
Q: Will the leather trim darken with age? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton's natural leather trim is designed to develop a deeper honey or amber patina over time. Small tonal changes, light marks and water spots are common on vintage pieces and are part of the ageing process.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and leather trim? A: Clean the coated canvas gently with a soft damp cloth and a little mild soapy water if needed. Avoid perfume, oils, hand sanitiser and harsh cleaners. If the natural leather gets wet, blot it with a light-coloured absorbent cloth and allow it to dry naturally. Store the bag in a dry, ventilated place and avoid overfilling it.
Q: Does this bag come with any extra items? A: No. According to the product information, this piece comes with no additional items.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by experts before sale. For vintage Louis Vuitton, authentication is based on the overall quality of the materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and model details rather than one feature alone.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number? A: Louis Vuitton traditionally used date codes rather than serial numbers on many vintage bags. A date code can help indicate when and where a bag was made, but it is only one part of authentication and may be faint or hard to read on older pieces.
