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 key features and measurements of this Pochette Métis? A: This piece is crafted in Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim and gold-tone hardware. It has a single top handle, a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap, an exterior zipped pocket, and three interior compartments with a brown microfibre lining. Approximate measurements for this item are 24 × 19 × 8 cm; handle drop about 4 cm; strap listed at 53 cm (adjustable).
Q: What typically fits inside day to day? A: Despite its compact look, it holds a smartphone, a long continental wallet, keys, sunglasses (in a slim case), and small essentials like hand sanitiser and makeup. Organisation is easy thanks to the three interior compartments and rear zipped pocket.
Q: Is the strap adjustable for cross-body wear, and will it suit different heights? A: Yes. The strap is removable and adjustable; on the Pochette Métis the drop generally adjusts to roughly 48–55 cm, which works for most heights for both shoulder and cross‑body carry. This item’s strap is noted at 53 cm and can be shortened or lengthened using the buckle holes.
Q: How does the S-lock clasp operate, and how can I minimise scratches on the hardware? A: The front S‑lock opens with a simple press and closes with a click when aligned. To minimise surface scratches, avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or keys and wipe hardware gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Hairline marks from normal use are common on polished hardware.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and Monogram canvas? A: Keep the bag dry and away from oils, fragrances, and prolonged sunlight. Vachetta is untreated and will develop a natural patina; water can mark it, so take extra care in rain. Wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable cover to help maintain its shape.
Q: Does this bag have a date code or a microchip? A: Louis Vuitton phased out visible date codes from around 2021 in favour of embedded microchips. This particular piece carries the code FO 3200, which decodes to Italy, week 30 of 2020. Note that a date code alone does not guarantee authenticity; it is only one data point.
Q: I’ve heard about glazing issues on some Pochette Métis bags—is that still a concern? A: Earlier canvas runs saw owner reports of edge‑glazing wear. Later production saw improvements, but like all coated‑edge leather goods, edges can show wear over time. Routine care and avoiding heavy friction help; Louis Vuitton can assess repairs if ever needed.
Q: How much does the bag weigh, and is it comfortable for all‑day use? A: The Pochette Métis typically weighs around 0.6 kg empty, making it comfortable for daily wear. The wide, adjustable strap helps distribute weight for shoulder or cross‑body carry, while the top handle is best for short hand‑carry moments.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. For this item, a detachable shoulder strap is included. If a dust bag, box, or other item is not listed in product information, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes or embedded identifiers. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
