Perfect for polished days in the city, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Pochette Metis transitions from office meetings to evening plans. Carry by the top handle for a refined look or wear crossbody for hands-free ease, while its organised interior keeps daily essentials neatly in place.
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 approximate measurements of 24 × 20 × 7.5 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, continental wallet or compact wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, AirPods, and a small cosmetics pouch. An A5 diary/notebook fits; A4 documents do not lie flat. Capacity can vary slightly by production year and organiser use—please refer to the Measurements on this page for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or e‑reader? A: Compact tablets and e‑readers (e.g., iPad mini/Kindle) typically fit. An 11‑inch tablet may fit horizontally without a bulky case but will be a snug fit due to the structured compartments and flap; if you share your device dimensions, we can perform a tailored fit check on this specific bag.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes. This bag includes a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap. On this piece the strap drop is approximately 46 cm, which wears comfortably on the shoulder and as a high crossbody on some wearers. The single top handle (approx. 4 cm drop) is ideal for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The flap closes with Louis Vuitton’s trunk‑inspired S‑lock. Inside, there are three organised compartments lined in brown microfibre for easy separation of essentials, plus an external zipped pocket at the back for quick‑access items such as travel cards or receipts.
Q: What materials and hardware does this model use? A: The classic Pochette Métis is crafted in Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim, gold‑tone hardware, a single top handle and a detachable/adjustable shoulder strap. The lining is microfibre in a complementary brown tone.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas, Vachetta leather and hardware? A: Keep the bag away from heavy rain and oils; Vachetta is a vegetable‑tanned leather that develops a natural patina and can mark with water or colour transfer. If lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Wipe canvas and hardware with a soft, dry cloth. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid hanging it by the strap for long periods. Be mindful of dark denim against the leather trim.
Q: What does the date code DU2116 mean, and do all LV bags have codes? A: DU2116 indicates French manufacture (DU) and production in the 21st week of 2016. Louis Vuitton used such date codes for decades; from around March 2021 the brand transitioned to embedded microchips on new items instead of visible date codes. Many pre‑2021 pieces, like this one, will still have a traditional date code.
Q: Is the Pochette Métis still produced and why is it often hard to find? A: The Pochette Métis remains a highly sought‑after style, released in various materials and seasonal iterations. Boutique availability can vary by region and season, and some versions have historically seen waitlists. The pre‑loved market is an excellent route to find specific editions and earlier production years like this one.
Q: Are there any known wear points to be aware of on this model? A: Earlier production runs of the Pochette Métis saw community‑reported glazing wear at some edges. Later iterations were updated, but as with any structured flap bag, we recommend periodic checks of edges and strap contact points. This particular item is graded Very Good, with light scratches on the handle, a clean interior showing light use, and shiny hardware with light hairline scratches as noted in our Condition details.
Q: What accessories are included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories for this exact piece. For this item we include: detachable shoulder strap. If you need confirmation or additional photos, just let us know and we’ll be happy to help.
