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 Pochette Métis MM? A: With approximate dimensions of 24 × 19 × 7 cm, it fits a long/continental wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses in a slim case, small cosmetics, and an A5 notebook or iPad mini. It will not hold A4 documents or a full‑size iPad.
Q: Is the strap detachable and what is the drop? A: Yes, the shoulder strap is detachable and adjustable. The drop is approximately 48–55 cm, allowing shoulder or crossbody wear. There is also a top handle for handheld use.
Q: How is the interior organised and how secure is the closure? A: The bag has three interior compartments and one exterior zipped pocket for quick access. It closes with an S‑lock on the flap for secure fastening during daily use.
Q: Does an iPad mini fit? A: Yes, an iPad mini or similarly sized e‑reader fits comfortably in the main compartment, alongside everyday essentials.
Q: How much does the bag weigh? A: The Pochette Métis in Monogram canvas weighs around 0.6 kg, which makes it comfortable for day‑to‑day wear while remaining sturdy.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather trim? A: Wipe coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh cleaners or alcohol‑based products. Vachetta leather is untreated and will develop a natural patina; keep it away from moisture, and if it gets wet, blot gently with a light, absorbent cloth. Store the bag stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: I’ve heard about glazing issues on some Pochette Métis bags—what should I know? A: Community reports note glazing wear on some earlier pieces with heavy use. Sensible habits like avoiding overfilling, extreme heat, or prolonged pressure on the flap can help. We inspect each pre‑owned bag carefully and describe any notable wear in the product information and condition notes for transparency.
Q: What does the date code FO3210 mean on this item? A: Public LV date‑code logic indicates the digits denote production timing: 3 and 1 = week 31; 2 and 0 = year 2020. The letters are factory identifiers. Louis Vuitton began replacing physical date codes with embedded microchips from 2021 onwards, so codes may not appear on newer items.
Q: What is included with this piece? A: This item comes with its detachable shoulder strap. Everything included with the purchase is always listed in the product information section on this page.
Q: What is the condition of this pre‑owned bag? A: Very Good overall with light signs of use on the exterior, a small mark on the lining, and shiny hardware showing light surface scratches. Please see the detailed condition notes and images for a close view.
