An elegant choice for back-to-office days and weekend city breaks, this Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis MM in Monogram canvas moves from desk to dinner with ease. Carry by the top handle for polished meetings or switch to the detachable strap for hands-free outings. Its compartmented interior keeps daily essentials neatly organised.
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 are the measurements of the Pochette Métis MM and how does it wear? A: This piece measures approximately 24 × 19 × 7 cm and features a single top handle plus a detachable, adjustable strap for shoulder or crossbody wear. The strap typically adjusts to an approximate 48–55 cm drop, allowing it to sit comfortably around hip level on most heights.
Q: What fits inside day to day? A: The interior is divided into three compartments and there is an external zipped pocket. It easily holds a smartphone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses and small cosmetics. An A5 diary or an iPad mini can also fit; a full‑size tablet is generally too large. Capacity will vary with cases and how you pack.
Q: What materials is this bag made from, and is it okay in the rain? A: It is crafted from Monogram coated canvas with natural vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Coated canvas is hard‑wearing and water‑resistant, but the vachetta is untreated and can darken and stain with moisture. Brief light rain on the canvas is usually fine; try to keep the leather trim dry and wipe both materials with a soft cloth after exposure.
Q: How should I care for the vachetta leather trim? A: Handle with clean, dry hands, avoid contact with hand sanitiser, oils and perfumes, and keep away from prolonged sunlight or water. Do not over‑condition; instead, lightly wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth if needed and allow it to air dry. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape and encourage an even patina over time.
Q: How secure is the S‑lock closure and how do I look after the hardware? A: The front S‑lock closes with a firm click to secure the flap. Align the clasp before pressing and avoid forcing it. Hairline scratches are normal with use; simply buff gently with a clean microfibre cloth to keep it looking its best.
Q: What does the date code SA4165 mean on this item? A: The letters indicate the workshop location and the numbers show when it was made. SA is a French factory code on this piece and 4165 deciphers to the 46th week of 2015. Note that Louis Vuitton replaced visible date codes with embedded microchips from 2021 onwards; date codes are not unique identifiers and are only one part of authenticating a bag.
Q: Is the strap removable and can the bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. The strap is detachable and adjustable for both shoulder and crossbody carry. You can also hand‑carry it by the top handle for a more formal look.
Q: How much does the Pochette Métis weigh? A: The bag weighs around 0.6 kg empty, so it is comfortable for daily use. Avoid overloading to maintain its structure over time.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Please refer to the product information on this page for everything that comes with the bag. For this piece, a detachable shoulder strap is included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is checked by our in‑house experts using multi‑point inspection of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details or photos on request.
