Carry it from weekday meetings to weekend brunch: the Louis Vuitton Monogram Pochette Métis MM adds refined polish to city strolls, gallery visits and dinner dates. Use the top handle for a chic, structured look or switch to the adjustable shoulder strap for hands-free ease. Its compact shape keeps essentials organised while its vintage character brings timeless allure 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 measurements and weight of this Pochette Métis MM? A: This item is listed at approximately 24 × 19 × 7 cm with a 4 cm top-handle drop. The detachable shoulder strap is adjustable and designed for shoulder or crossbody wear; the official strap drop ranges around 48–55 cm. The model weighs about 0.6 kg. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact figures of this piece.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: It comfortably holds a smartphone, a long wallet, sunglasses, keys, small cosmetics, and an A5 notebook. Many owners also carry an iPad mini in the main compartment. Capacity varies with how you organise the three interior sections and the back zipped pocket—avoid overstuffing to keep the flap and lock aligned.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. The strap is removable and adjustable for both shoulder and crossbody wear. With a drop around 48–55 cm, it sits comfortably across the body for most heights, and there is a top handle for handheld carry.
Q: How secure is the S-lock and how do I use it? A: The front S-lock is inspired by Louis Vuitton trunks and is designed to keep the flap securely closed during daily use. Open and close it gently and avoid forcing the lock against an overfilled bag to maintain alignment and smooth operation.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag features a brown microfibre lining with three compartments for easy organisation, plus an external zipped pocket at the back for slim essentials you want quick access to.
Q: Does this piece have a date code? A: Earlier Pochette Métis bags typically have a stamped date code. From around 2021, Louis Vuitton introduced an embedded microchip system and many newer pieces no longer carry visible date codes. As a pre-owned item, specifics can vary; A Retro Tale authenticates each piece through expert multi-point checks.
Q: Is the Monogram canvas water-resistant, and how should I care for the vachetta leather? A: Monogram coated canvas is durable and resists light rain; wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth when needed. The natural vachetta leather is untreated and will develop a patina; it can darken or spot with water and oils. Keep vachetta away from moisture, avoid harsh cleaners, and store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to preserve shape.
Q: Are there any common wear points I should be aware of? A: With regular use, some owners report edge glazing stress or cracking on older runs. Minimise risk by avoiding overloading, prolonged heat or sun exposure, and rough abrasion along the edges. If glazing shows wear, a professional spa or brand service can assess repairs.
Q: What is included with this item and what is its condition? A: The product information for this piece lists a detachable shoulder strap. Condition notes indicate light corner scuffing to the exterior, a vintage smell inside, and hardware that remains shiny with light scratches. Anything not listed in product information (such as a box or dust bag) is not included.
