Perfect for weekend brunches, gallery visits, and evening dinners, this ecru Epi Montaigne Pochette adds understated polish to any look. Its compact shape, push‑lock flap and adjustable shoulder strap keep essentials secure and close, making it an elegant vintage choice for day‑to‑night wear.
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 Montaigne Pochette? A: With an approximate size of 12 cm (H) × 27 cm (W) × 5 cm (D), it comfortably holds a smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys and a few small essentials such as lip balm and compact tissues. Slim sunglasses cases fit best; bulky items may distort the flap.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: The strap on this piece has an approximate 19 cm drop and is intended for short‑shoulder or hand carry. It is not designed for crossbody wear.
Q: Is the strap removable? A: Strap configurations can vary by production year. This example has an adjustable shoulder strap; if the strap were detachable it would be noted in the product information and visible in the photos. If not stated as detachable, please assume it is fixed.
Q: How secure is the closure and how do I open it? A: The front push‑lock secures the flap; press the lock to release and close it until you hear a click. Avoid overfilling, which can place pressure on the flap and hardware. Light hairline marks on vintage hardware are normal.
Q: What does the date code TH0068 indicate? A: Louis Vuitton used a week/year date‑code format from 2007 to 2020. The letters show the country, and the numbers show the production week and year. TH denotes France; 0068 means the 6th week of 2008, so this bag was made in France in early 2008.
Q: How durable is Epi leather and how should I care for it? A: Epi is a textured, dyed‑through calf leather valued for its structure and resistance to light scratches and incidental moisture. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep away from oils, perfumes, alcohol‑based products and harsh cleaners. Store stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: Will the light Ecru colour show marks or colour transfer? A: Light shades can pick up colour transfer from dark denim or other highly pigmented materials, especially with friction or moisture. Minimise prolonged contact with such fabrics and blot any marks promptly with a soft, dry cloth.
Q: How do I look after the Alcantara lining? A: Alcantara is a soft microfibre. For routine care, gently dust or brush the lining and use a lint roller to remove debris. For spot marks, use only pH‑neutral, water‑based cleaners intended for Alcantara and blot rather than rub. Always test on a discreet area first and allow to air‑dry.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. This piece is noted as having no additional items included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes, and comparison with known references for the model and era. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share further details on request.
