Perfect for weddings, cocktail parties or a night at the theatre, the vintage Louis Vuitton Pochette Louise GM in nude leather adds understated glamour. Gold-toned accents pair effortlessly with occasionwear, while the chain shoulder strap keeps hands free from ceremony to reception and dinner to drinks.
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 dimensions and what typically fits inside? A: Approx. 23 × 16 × 4 cm. It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a slim wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few small cosmetics. It is not designed for larger items like a water bottle or an iPad mini.
Q: Is the chain strap removable or adjustable? A: The Louise GM design features a removable chain; it is not adjustable. On this particular piece the strap drop is about 40 cm, which suits shoulder carry or hand-held as a clutch when detached.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: Crossbody wear depends on chain length and your height. With an approximate 40 cm drop, this piece is generally best as a shoulder bag; some owners opt for a longer chain to achieve crossbody length at their own discretion.
Q: How does the bag close and what is the interior layout? A: It has the signature LV logo lock closure on the front flap. Inside, you’ll find a brown microfibre lining with one zipped pocket and one flat pocket for small essentials.
Q: What material and colour is this item? A: Smooth nude leather with gold-toned hardware and brown microfibre interior. This piece is crafted in Italy.
Q: Will it fit an iPhone Pro/Pro Max or a long wallet? A: A large smartphone fits easily when placed horizontally. A slim continental wallet can fit, but capacity is limited by the 4 cm depth—streamlined items work best for an elegant silhouette.
Q: How should I care for the nude leather and hardware? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid oils, solvents, and prolonged sunlight. Light-coloured leather can absorb dyes from dark fabrics; take care with denim and other saturated colours. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, and keep the chain tucked to prevent imprints on the leather.
Q: Is the chain replaceable or repairable through Louis Vuitton? A: Louis Vuitton boutiques can assess repairs and part replacements case by case; availability and pricing vary by region. Independent leather-goods specialists may offer custom chain solutions, though third‑party modifications are at the owner’s discretion.
Q: Where is the date code and how do you verify authenticity? A: On vintage Louis Vuitton, the date code is typically stamped on a small leather tab or directly on the lining, with placement varying by model and year. Our team thoroughly authenticates every item using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware, and we can share the date code (if present) on request.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed under the Product information section on this page. For this item, it indicates no additional items are included.
