Perfect for back-to-office days and city weekends, Louis Vuitton’s black Monogram Empreinte Pochette Métis MM transitions smoothly from meetings to dinner. Its refined silhouette and signature S-lock lend understated polish, while the organised interior keeps essentials close — a timeless vintage choice for everyday elegance.
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 dimensions and compartments of the Pochette Métis MM in Empreinte leather? A: The bag measures approximately 25 × 19 × 6 cm. Inside, it has three well-organised compartments lined in striped textile, plus a zipped pocket on the back for quick access items. It closes with the signature S-lock. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing of this item.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and detachable, and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes. The leather strap is removable and adjustable, with an approximate drop range of 48–55 cm, making it comfortable to wear on the shoulder or crossbody. There is also a top handle for handheld carry.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: Everyday essentials such as a smartphone, a long wallet, keys, sunglasses, earbuds and a small cosmetics pouch fit comfortably. Capacity depends on how you pack and the size of each item; please compare your essentials to the Measurements provided.
Q: How does Monogram Empreinte leather wear over time? A: Empreinte is supple, grained cowhide embossed with the Monogram motif. It is durable and retains its shape well with normal use. Avoid overfilling, prolonged sunlight or humidity, and contact with oils, perfumes or hand sanitisers to keep the leather looking its best.
Q: How should I care for this bag day to day? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry cloth after use, keep it dry, and store it stuffed (to maintain shape) in a breathable dust bag away from direct light and heat. Avoid harsh cleaners or conditioners unless recommended for this leather type.
Q: How heavy is the Pochette Métis to carry? A: The Pochette Métis is a compact satchel and weighs around 0.6 kg empty, with slight variations depending on material and season. Weight will increase with contents.
Q: What does the date code AR0220 indicate? A: AR denotes a French workshop, and 0220 indicates production in the 2nd week of 2020. From 2021 onwards many Louis Vuitton bags no longer have visible date codes as the Maison transitioned to internal microchips; a 2020 piece like this correctly carries a date code.
Q: Is the S-lock easy to use and secure? A: Yes. The heritage S-lock is designed for quick, one-hand operation while keeping the flap closed securely. Minor hairline scratches on hardware can occur with normal wear and are considered typical for this finish.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a detachable shoulder strap. Everything included with the listing is shown under product information; if an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Each piece is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and date code or chip technology where applicable. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
