Perfect for client meetings or evening plans, the Louis Vuitton Pochette Jour PM in black leather offers effortless sophistication; its suede-lined main compartment and L-shaped zip keep essentials streamlined, while silver-toned hardware lends a refined finish.
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 Louis Vuitton Pochette Jour PM? A: With approximate measurements of 23 × 17.5 × 0.4 cm for this piece, it’s ideal for essentials such as a large smartphone, slim cardholder or compact wallet, keys, passport, folded receipts, and a few small cosmetics. It’s a slim pouch, so we recommend avoiding bulky items or overfilling to maintain its shape.
Q: Will it fit an iPad mini, Kindle or A5 documents? A: A5 notebooks/papers generally fit; compact e‑readers and the iPad mini may fit without a bulky case but will be a snug fit due to the low profile. A4 documents and larger tablets/laptops will not fit. If you’d like us to test a specific device, just ask and we’ll check against this exact piece.
Q: What is the closure and interior layout on this item? A: This Pochette Jour PM features an L‑shaped zip closure for wide access and a black suede (Alcantara‑style) lining with one main compartment. Our photos show the exact interior of this piece.
Q: Does it come with a wrist strap or shoulder strap? A: No. The Pochette Jour PM is a slim clutch pouch without a strap or handle. It’s designed to be carried by hand, under the arm, or used as an organiser inside a larger bag.
Q: What materials does the Pochette Jour PM come in? A: The model has been produced in several leathers and finishes over the years (e.g., Taiga, Taurillon, Vachetta and coated canvas in some editions). This specific item is crafted in black leather with silver‑toned hardware and a black suede lining. Materials can vary by season and year; our listing describes this exact piece.
Q: Is it suitable for travel or business use? A: Yes. Its slim, structured profile makes it a great document and passport holder, evening clutch, or tech organiser that slips easily into a tote or briefcase. The L‑zip offers secure, quick access while on the move.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Keep the pouch away from moisture and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Wipe leather gently with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leather sparingly after testing on a discreet area. Store it flat or lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, with the zipper closed and hardware protected from rubbing to minimise scratches.
Q: What’s the difference between the PM and GM versions? A: PM (Petit Modèle) is the compact size for daily essentials and small documents (A5). GM is larger and typically accommodates A4 documents or a small tablet with more ease. If you’re unsure which size you need, compare your items to our Measurements and we’ll advise.
Q: How is this piece dated and authenticated? A: This item carries the date code TJ3166, indicating production in France in 2016 (week 36). Louis Vuitton used visible date codes on most pieces up to around 2021, when the brand transitioned to embedded microchips on new items. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
Q: What accessories are included with this listing? A: This item is sold as the pouch only—no accessories are included. If you need confirmation or additional photos, please contact us.
