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 what typically fits inside? A: This compact shoulder bag measures approximately 21 × 13 × 3 cm with an approx. 15 cm strap drop. It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a large smartphone, a cardholder or small wallet, keys, and a few small cosmetics. Capacity will vary depending on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is this the Stephen Sprouse Graffiti edition from 2001? A: Yes. The white graffiti over Monogram canvas corresponds to the early Stephen Sprouse collaboration under Marc Jacobs. This piece’s date code confirms production in 2001, aligning with the original release; the 2009 tribute collection revisited the theme with neon tones and additional motifs.
Q: What does the date code AR0041 mean? A: The letters indicate the country and the numbers indicate the month and year. AR denotes France. For codes used from the 1990s to 2006, the 1st and 3rd digits show the month and the 2nd and 4th digits show the year—so AR0041 decodes to April 2001 in France.
Q: Is the strap detachable and can it be worn crossbody? A: The Pochette Accessoires was designed as a small shoulder bag with a detachable strap. Many older models have a single side ring and the strap attaches to the zip pull on the other side. Some clients add a longer strap to wear it crossbody; this is not an official configuration and may place stress on the zip and hardware, so please use care if you choose to do so.
Q: What materials is it made from? A: The exterior is Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas overlaid with the Stephen Sprouse graffiti print, paired with natural cowhide vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The interior is a brown textile lining.
Q: How should I care for the vachetta leather and the printed canvas? A: Keep the bag dry and avoid contact with water, oils, perfumes, and alcohol‑based products. Vachetta is untreated and will develop a honey‑coloured patina; avoid rain and dark denim to minimise stains and colour transfer. Clean the canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh rubbing over the printed graffiti. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: How does this old model differ from newer Pochette Accessoires versions sold today? A: The classic vintage model is around 21 × 13 × 3 cm with a simple, single‑compartment interior and, on many pieces, a single strap ring. Later editions may be slightly larger and can include an interior pocket and additional chain or dual attachment rings, depending on the season and material.
Q: Is this bag considered vintage and collectible? A: Yes. The 2001 Stephen Sprouse collaboration is widely regarded as a landmark, limited collection that helped define early‑2000s “It bag” culture and remains sought‑after by collectors. Individual value depends on condition and completeness.
Q: What comes with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this listing, the product information notes a box, dust bag and brand booklets.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide additional details or photos on request.
