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 how can I carry it? A: This vintage Pochette Métis in Monogram canvas measures approximately 24 × 19 × 8 cm. It features a single top handle with about a 4 cm drop and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate 53 cm drop for shoulder or crossbody wear. It closes with an S-lock and includes three interior compartments plus an exterior zipped pocket.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: The tri‑compartment interior comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses in a slim case, a compact make‑up pouch and a small notebook or A5 diary. Many owners report that an iPad mini fits without a bulky case when placed horizontally; please compare your device to the measurements above to be sure.
Q: Is the strap removable and adjustable? A: Yes. The shoulder strap is both detachable and adjustable, allowing you to wear the bag crossbody or on the shoulder. You can also use the top handle for handheld styling.
Q: How do I operate and care for the S‑lock? A: Press the central button to release the clasp and close it until it clicks. To keep the hardware looking its best, avoid rubbing against abrasive surfaces and wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Light surface marks are normal with use.
Q: I’ve heard about glazing issues on some Pochette Métis bags—should I be concerned? A: Earlier generations of the Pochette Métis saw reports of edge‑glazing wear at high‑stress folds. Later production benefited from improvements, and storing the bag away from heat, avoiding overstuffing and resting the flap flat help preserve the edges. This piece dates to 2018; please refer to the condition notes on this page for the current state of the edges and hardware.
Q: How should I care for the materials? A: Monogram coated canvas is hard‑wearing and can be wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth. The natural Vachetta leather trim is untreated and will deepen in colour over time; keep it dry, avoid oils and alcohol‑based products, and store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: What does the date code DR2128 mean? A: For Louis Vuitton items produced before 2021, the two letters indicate the production country and the four numbers indicate the week and year. DR denotes a French factory; 2128 decodes to week 22 of 2018.
Q: Can I use it in light rain? A: Brief drizzle on the canvas is usually fine, but avoid getting the Vachetta leather wet as it can show water marks. If it becomes damp, blot gently with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally—do not use heat.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. For this piece, the detachable shoulder strap is included. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included—contact us if you would like us to confirm.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell and can provide additional details on request.
