Perfect for dinner dates, gallery openings or weekend city strolls, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Pochette Accessoires brings iconic elegance to any outfit while keeping just the essentials close.
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 and what typically fits inside? A: This classic Pochette Accessoires measures approximately 21 × 13 × 3 cm. It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a standard-size smartphone, a small wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few small cosmetics. Larger phones or bulky cases may reduce capacity, so please compare your items with the Measurements on this page.
Q: Will a large smartphone (Plus/Max size) fit? A: In the vintage classic size, most standard smartphones fit; larger Plus/Max models may fit snugly depending on the case and how the bag is packed. The current Pochette Accessoires sold by Louis Vuitton is slightly larger and is noted to fit a 6.7-inch smartphone; this vintage piece is smaller, so please check your device against our measurements.
Q: Is this the classic/PM size or the newer model? A: This is the classic/PM size from the 1990s–2000s era (approx. 21 × 13 × 3 cm). The newer model offered today is slightly larger and features added interior pockets and, on some versions, a removable chain in addition to the leather strap.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: The original shoulder strap is short for crossbody wear, but many clients swap to a longer leather strap or chain to wear it crossbody. The strap on this piece is detachable, allowing you to change the look. Please avoid overloading the bag when using longer aftermarket straps and refer to the photos to see the strap attachments.
Q: Is the strap detachable? A: Yes. This Pochette Accessoires has a single detachable flat shoulder strap, so it can be worn on the shoulder, carried as a clutch, or styled with an alternative strap.
Q: What does the date code SL1918 mean? A: For pieces from 1990–2006, the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth indicate the year. SL1918 decodes to November 1998. The letters SL indicate manufacture in France, which aligns with the made-in stamp on this item.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Wipe coated canvas occasionally with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Natural Vachetta leather is untreated and will develop a deeper patina over time; keep it away from water, oils, hand sanitiser, and prolonged sunlight/heat. Store the bag loosely filled in a breathable dust bag to help maintain shape.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag, extra strap, or box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, examining materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: Does a slight vintage odour fade, and how can I minimise it? A: A gentle vintage odour is common with older pieces and typically dissipates with time. Air the bag in a cool, dry, shaded area away from direct sunlight. You may place an odour-neutralising sachet (unscented charcoal or baking-soda pouch) nearby. Avoid spraying perfumes or harsh cleaners directly on the bag.
