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 Rabat? A: With approximate dimensions 23 × 16 × 3 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and small essentials. A passport fits easily under the flap. Bulky items like water bottles will not fit.
Q: Does this clutch come with a strap or have attachments for one? A: The Pochette Rabat is designed as a handheld clutch with a flap and snap closure. It was not sold with a strap and typically does not feature strap D‑rings. Third‑party strap conversions exist but may stress the canvas; we recommend handheld use. Accessories included with each item are listed on this page—this piece is noted as coming with no accessories.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The flap opens to a brown cross‑grain leather interior with a zipped pocket beneath the flap and an additional slip pocket, ideal for cards or tickets, plus a main compartment for daily essentials.
Q: Is this style still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: No. The Monogram Pochette Rabat is a vintage, discontinued style that appears on the pre‑owned market rather than in current Louis Vuitton collections.
Q: What does the date code MB1926 mean on this item? A: In the 1990–2006 format, the letters indicate country and the numbers indicate month and year. MB denotes France; 1 and 2 (first and third digits) indicate the 12th month, and 9 and 6 (second and fourth digits) indicate 1996. So this piece was made in France in December 1996.
Q: Will a modern large smartphone fit (e.g., Max/Plus sizes)? A: Yes. Most large smartphones fit comfortably within the 23 cm width and 16 cm height. A slim case is usually fine, though very thick cases may be snug alongside a full wallet.
Q: How durable is Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas? A: Monogram coated canvas is known for being hard‑wearing and relatively water‑resistant for everyday use. It resists light scuffs well, but avoid prolonged moisture, oils and alcohol‑based products, and do not overfill to preserve the structure and edges.
Q: How should I care for this vintage clutch? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid alcohol, harsh cleaners and colour‑transfer from dark textiles. For the cross‑grain leather interior, use a dry, soft cloth only. Store the clutch lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and humidity.
Q: Do vintage Louis Vuitton interiors peel or become sticky? A: Some older LV models with vuittonite linings can develop stickiness over time. Many Pochette Rabat pieces were lined in cross‑grain leather, which is generally more stable. Condition varies by bag; this example is graded Very Good with only light signs of use, as described on this page.
