Perfect for city errands or dinner reservations, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Pochette Plate slips effortlessly into a larger bag or can be carried in hand. With a sleek black leather stripe and secure top zip, it keeps your small essentials neatly organised.
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 Plate MM? A: As a slim, flat pouch (please refer to the Measurements on this page), it comfortably holds a large smartphone, passport, a slim cardholder or compact wallet, keys, and a few small cosmetics. Because of its flat profile, avoid bulky items to preserve the shape.
Q: Can it fit an iPad mini or an e‑reader? A: An iPad mini generally fits when placed horizontally or on a slight diagonal without a bulky case. A slim e‑reader of similar footprint should also fit; thicker covers may be too tight. Always compare your device to the listed measurements before purchase.
Q: Does this pouch have a strap or attachment rings? A: This model is designed as a handheld/organiser pouch with a top zip and no built‑in D‑rings. Some owners add aftermarket inserts with rings or light wrist straps, but attaching heavy straps to the zipper pull is not recommended as it can stress the hardware.
Q: Is it unisex and how can I style it? A: Yes. Its clean, flat silhouette works as a unisex clutch, travel document holder, or tech/handbag organiser. It can be carried by hand, tucked under the arm, or slipped inside a tote or briefcase for added organisation.
Q: What does the date code MI2106 mean? A: MI indicates a French factory. For this production era, the first and third digits show the week and the second and fourth digits show the year, so MI2106 corresponds to the 20th week of 2016 in France.
Q: I’ve heard newer Louis Vuitton items don’t have date codes—does that affect this piece? A: From around March 2021, Louis Vuitton replaced most visible date codes with embedded microchips. As this pouch dates to 2016, it correctly features a stamped date code; the later microchip change does not apply to this item.
Q: Is the Monogram canvas waterproof? Any care tips? A: Monogram is a coated canvas that’s hard‑wearing and water‑resistant, but not fully waterproof. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid alcohol‑based products, harsh chemicals, or abrasive scrubbing. Keep away from prolonged heat/sunlight and store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag.
Q: How should I care for the black leather trim and hardware? A: Keep leather dry and wipe gently with a soft cloth. If conditioning is desired, use a quality product sparingly on the leather only and spot‑test first. Avoid getting oils or lotions on the canvas. To help prevent tarnish or scratches, store the pouch separately from metal objects and avoid overloading.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing is sold without accessories. Everything included is always stated in the Accessories section; if a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: The description mentions a stain on the lining—should I be concerned? A: The interior shows a small stain noted in our condition report. It is cosmetic and does not affect functionality. Professional bag cleaning may reduce it, but complete removal cannot be guaranteed.
Q: How do you authenticate this pouch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of canvas, stitching, hardware, heat stamps, and date codes, cross‑referenced with known factory/year details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
