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 key features and size of the Pochette Métis in Monogram Empreinte? A: This MM version measures approximately 25 × 19 × 7 cm and features a single top handle, a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap, a secure S-lock closure, three interior compartments, and an exterior zipped pocket. The strap drop adjusts to roughly 48–55 cm for shoulder or crossbody wear.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Daily essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone (up to about 6.7 inches), keys, sunglasses, and a small notebook or compact fit comfortably. An iPad mini can fit snugly if slimly cased; A4 documents do not fit. For best organisation, place bulkier items in the middle compartment to help maintain the bag’s shape.
Q: Is Empreinte leather durable and how should I care for it? A: Empreinte is a grained cowhide leather that softens slightly with wear while holding structure. Keep it away from water, oils, and prolonged sunlight/heat; avoid contact with dark or non-colourfast fabrics to minimise colour transfer, especially on lighter shades. Wipe with a clean, light-coloured cloth and store stuffed in a breathable dust bag when not in use.
Q: How much does the bag weigh? A: The Empreinte Pochette Métis is around 0.8 kg empty. Actual weight can vary slightly depending on the specific edition and strap setting.
Q: Is the S-lock and hardware prone to scratches? A: Light hairline scratches on the gold-tone hardware are normal with use. Avoid abrasive surfaces and harsh polishes; a soft microfibre cloth can gently buff surface marks. Louis Vuitton offers repair services should you wish to refresh hardware in future.
Q: Does this bag have a date code or a microchip? A: Depending on the year of manufacture, it may have either a traditional date code or an embedded NFC microchip (Louis Vuitton transitioned to microchips around March 2021). As this is a vintage piece, please refer to the product information or contact us for the specific stamping details for this item.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap. The contents are exactly as shown and listed under product information; if an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: The product information for this specific item states France. Louis Vuitton also manufactures Pochette Métis models in Spain, Italy, and the United States.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: Very good overall. There is visible scuffing on the corners, light signs of use inside, and scratches/dullness on the hardware. Please review the photos for a close-up view.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, assessing materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
