Q: What are the measurements and how can I wear it? A: Approx. 25 × 19 × 8 cm with a single top handle (about 5 cm drop) and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap. The strap allows comfortable shoulder or crossbody wear; on this item the drop is about 58 cm at its longest hole, which is in line with Louis Vuitton’s typical maximum of around 55 cm for the Pochette Métis strap.
Q: What typically fits inside day to day? A: A large smartphone, a long wallet (e.g. Sarah), keys, sunglasses in a slim case, tissues and small cosmetics fit comfortably. An iPad mini can fit in some cases without a bulky cover but will be snug. A water bottle or thick organisers can limit capacity due to the structured compartments—packing flatter items works best.
Q: Does a large smartphone fit in the back zipped pocket? A: Most modern large smartphones fit the back pocket for quick access, though a thick case may make it tight. If you use a heavy or rugged case, plan to store the phone in a main compartment instead.
Q: Is the strap comfortable for crossbody on different heights? A: Yes—the adjustable leather strap is designed to suit a range of heights. At full length (about 55–58 cm drop), it generally works well even for taller wearers; shortening the strap makes it ideal for shoulder carry.
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.

The strap allows comfortable shoulder or crossbody wear; on this item the drop is about 58 cm at its longest hole, which is in line with Louis Vuitton’s typical maximum of around 55 cm for the Pochette Métis strap.
Q: How many compartments and pockets does this Empreinte version have? A: This Empreinte configuration features a brown striped textile lining with two main compartments, plus a slip section, an exterior zipped pocket on the back, and the signature S-lock closure on the flap.
Q: What typically fits inside day to day? A: A large smartphone, a long wallet (e.g. Sarah), keys, sunglasses in a slim case, tissues and small cosmetics fit comfortably. An iPad mini can fit in some cases without a bulky cover but will be snug. A water bottle or thick organisers can limit capacity due to the structured compartments—packing flatter items works best.

Q: Is the strap comfortable for crossbody on different heights? A: Yes—the adjustable leather strap is designed to suit a range of heights. At full length (about 55–58 cm drop), it generally works well even for taller wearers; shortening the strap makes it ideal for shoulder carry.
Q: Is the S-lock easy to use and durable? A: The S-lock is secure by design and may feel slightly stiff or fiddly at first; it becomes easier with use. To avoid pressure on the mechanism, support the bag with one hand when closing. Hardware can show light surface scratches over time—this is normal wear.
Q: How do I care for Monogram Empreinte leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp, light-coloured cloth for routine care, avoid chemicals, oils, and alcohol-based products (including hand sanitiser), and keep the bag away from humidity and direct heat. Store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: Will the leather colour transfer or mark easily? A: Empreinte is a durable, supple embossed calf leather, but colour transfer can occur if rubbed against highly pigmented materials (especially new dark denim). Minimise prolonged contact with such fabrics and promptly wipe any marks with a soft damp cloth.
Q: What does the date code AR2188 mean? A: AR indicates a French workshop. Using Louis Vuitton’s date code format for this era, AR2188 decodes to the 28th week of 2018. Note that a date code is not a serial number; from around 2021 many new LV items moved to an embedded microchip instead of a stamped date code.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information for this listing. For this piece, it includes a detachable shoulder strap. If you need clarification on what is included, please contact us before purchase.
