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 in Monogram Empreinte leather? A: With approximate dimensions of 25 × 19 × 7 cm, it comfortably carries a smartphone, a long continental wallet, keys, sunglasses, small makeup items, and a compact organiser. It also fits an A5 notebook or slim e‑reader; A4 documents and laptops do not fit. Capacity varies with how you pack—please see the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Will it fit an iPad mini or similar e‑reader? A: Yes, an iPad mini or comparably sized e‑reader fits in the main compartment. A thick protective case may make the fit snug, so slimmer cases are recommended for easier access.
Q: Is the strap suitable for crossbody wear and is it adjustable? A: Yes. The leather strap is detachable and adjustable; typical drop is about 48–55 cm. Our item shows a mid‑range strap measurement of approximately 52 cm, which suits most heights for crossbody or shoulder wear. The single top handle (about 4 cm) is ideal for hand carry.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag has three internal compartments lined in textile, allowing you to separate essentials (e.g., wallet, phone, and small pouch). There is also a rear zipped pocket for quick‑access items like travel cards or receipts.
Q: How secure is the S‑lock flap closure? A: The S‑lock offers reliable day‑to‑day security. Align the clasp and press to close until you hear/feel a click; press the release to open. As with any flap bag, avoid overfilling the front compartment so the lock engages smoothly.
Q: How does Empreinte leather wear and how should I care for it? A: Empreinte is a durable, grained calfskin with embossed monogram. It is relatively low‑maintenance: wipe with a soft, dry cloth, avoid harsh cleaners and oils, and store in a breathable dust bag with light stuffing to maintain shape. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim or freshly dyed garments.
Q: Are glazing or edge‑coating issues something to watch for on the Pochette Métis? A: Earlier canvas versions saw some glazing complaints; later iterations and leather versions were refined, but normal edge wear can appear over time. Proper storage, avoiding overstuffing, and gentle use of the flap and strap help minimise stress on the edges. This specific piece shows minor glazing scuffs consistent with very good, pre‑loved condition.
Q: What does the date code DU2107 indicate? A: DU2107 decodes to manufacture in France in the 20th week of 2017. Louis Vuitton phased in microchip identifiers around 2021, so newer pieces may not have traditional date codes.
Q: How heavy is the bag? A: The Pochette Métis typically weighs around 0.6 kg empty, depending on edition and strap; weight can vary slightly across materials and production runs.
Q: What accessories are included and how is authenticity ensured? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories; this item comes with a detachable shoulder strap. Each piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps, and codes/identifiers, and we stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
