Its structured silhouette brings effortless Louis Vuitton refinement to any outfit.
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 compartments of the Pochette Métis? A: The bag measures approximately 25 × 19 × 7 cm and features an S-lock flap, a single top handle, a removable and adjustable shoulder strap, three internal compartments for organisation, and an external zipped pocket for quick-access items.
Q: What typically fits inside day to day? A: It comfortably carries daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, hand sanitiser and a small notebook. Thanks to its three compartments, it stays organised without feeling bulky.
Q: Will an iPad mini fit inside? A: Yes, an iPad mini generally fits snugly (best without a bulky case). Fit can vary by model and case thickness, so we recommend comparing your device to the bag’s measurements for certainty.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable for cross-body wear? A: Yes. The strap is detachable and adjustable, with an approximate drop of 48–55 cm, making it suitable for both shoulder and cross-body carry on most heights.
Q: How secure and practical is the S-lock closure? A: The S-lock is designed for secure, easy access. Minor hairline marks on the metal can develop with normal use; avoid contact with abrasive surfaces and close the lock gently to help keep the hardware looking its best.
Q: How should I care for Monogram Empreinte leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use, keep the bag away from water and oils, and avoid prolonged contact with dark or heavily dyed fabrics as colour transfer may occur. Store it loosely stuffed in its dust bag, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
Q: How does Empreinte leather differ from Monogram canvas versions? A: Empreinte is embossed grained cowhide leather with a supple, slightly more structured feel and a refined tone‑on‑tone monogram. Canvas versions are coated canvas and tend to be lighter. Both are durable; Empreinte offers a leather finish and texture for a more polished look.
Q: What does the date code GI4149 mean on this piece? A: GI indicates a Spanish LV workshop, and 4149 decodes to production in the 44th week of 2019. Note that date codes are not unique serial numbers, and from 2021 LV introduced microchips in place of physical date codes on new pieces.
Q: Is a Pochette Métis made in Spain authentic? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton produces this model in several countries, including France, Spain, Italy and the United States. Authenticity is not determined by country of origin but by craftsmanship and materials.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section of this page. For this piece, that is a dust bag and a detachable shoulder strap. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
