Ideal for city days that turn into evenings out, the Monogram Pochette Métis moves effortlessly from brunch to meetings to after-work drinks. Polished yet practical, it elevates smart-casual looks and tailoring alike—an elegant choice for travel, appointments, or a refined night out.
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 Pochette Métis? A: With compact dimensions of approximately 25 × 19 × 7 cm and three interior compartments, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, the Louis Vuitton Sarah long wallet, keys, sunglasses and small cosmetics. An iPad mini (6th gen) also fits horizontally without a bulky case. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Is it comfortable to wear crossbody and what are the strap details? A: Yes. The bag includes a removable, adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 48–55 cm, allowing shoulder or crossbody wear. The bag is lightweight for daily use at around 0.6 kg.
Q: How is the interior organised and is there an exterior pocket? A: Inside, there are three separate compartments that make it easy to organise your items, plus a brown microfibre lining. There is also a zipped pocket on the back for quick‑access essentials like a phone or travel documents.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Wipe coated Monogram canvas with a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soapy water and avoid chemicals or leather conditioners on the canvas. Natural Vachetta leather is untreated and will develop a patina; keep it dry, avoid hand sanitisers and oils, and if it gets wet, blot immediately with a light, lint‑free cloth. Store the bag stuffed to maintain shape and away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Are there any known wear points on this model? A: Earlier releases of the Pochette Métis were widely discussed for edge glazing wear around the flap and handle attachments. With any structured canvas bag, corner rubbing and Vachetta darkening can occur with normal use. This piece is graded Good, with noted Vachetta wear and some corner rubbing, and light scratches to the hardware. Should future repairs be desired, Louis Vuitton offers assessment and paid repair services.
Q: What does the date code DU2119 mean? A: DU indicates production in France. With the four‑digit format used from 2007–2021, the first and third digits show the week and the second and fourth the year. DU2119 therefore corresponds to the 21st week of 2019. From 2021 onward many LV items use internal microchips rather than visible date codes, but this 2019 piece correctly bears a date code.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, a detachable shoulder strap is included. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to ask us if you need clarification.
Q: Is the bag rain‑safe? A: The coated canvas offers some resistance to light moisture, but the Vachetta leather is sensitive to water and can stain. We recommend avoiding rain where possible and blotting any moisture immediately. Regular exposure to oils, perfumes and hand sanitisers should also be avoided.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using a multi‑point inspection of materials, stitching, stamps, date codes, and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
