Louis Vuitton Monogram Empreinte Pochette Metis Bag
Perfect for desk-to-dinner days, this black Monogram Empreinte Pochette Métis brings polished structure to work meetings and evening plans. Carry by the top handle or go hands-free with the strap; its organised compartments keep essentials tidy. A refined choice for smart-casual events and city breaks.
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 size of this Pochette Métis in Monogram Empreinte? A: This piece is crafted in black Monogram Empreinte leather with gold-tone hardware and the signature S-lock. It has a single top handle, a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap, three interior compartments with a striped textile lining, and a zipped pocket at the back. Approximate measurements are 25 × 19 × 7 cm, with a handle drop of about 3 cm and an adjustable strap drop of roughly 48–55 cm.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Despite its compact look, it is well organised. It comfortably holds a smartphone, a long (continental) wallet, keys, tissues, lipstick and similar small daily essentials. An A5 notebook fits; a standard iPad or A4 documents do not. A small tablet such as an iPad mini may fit depending on the case and how you pack. For exact capacity, please refer to the measurements above and your own items.
Q: Can I wear it cross-body and on the shoulder? A: Yes. The bag includes a detachable, adjustable strap for shoulder or cross‑body wear, plus a top handle for handheld carry. The strap’s adjustable drop (about 48–55 cm) suits most heights; if you are particularly petite or tall, you may prefer different hole settings for your ideal placement.
Q: How secure and easy is the S‑lock closure? A: The S‑lock is designed for quick one‑handed use and closes with a firm click when the flap is aligned. As with any structured flap bag, avoid overfilling to keep the flap closing smoothly and to maintain the bag’s shape over time.
Q: How durable is Monogram Empreinte leather and how should I care for it? A: Empreinte is a supple, embossed cowhide designed for everyday use. Care is simple: keep the bag away from water, heat and prolonged sunlight; avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes and colour‑transfer from dark textiles; and wipe gently with a soft, light-coloured cloth if needed. Store it loosely stuffed in its dust bag when not in use to help the bag hold its shape.
Q: I’ve heard about glazing or cracking on the Pochette Métis—should I worry? A: Earlier canvas versions were known to show glazing wear on high‑friction edges for some owners. Empreinte leather editions are generally less prone, but edge paint can still wear with heavy use. Sensible care—avoiding overpacking, high heat and friction—helps. If you ever notice a concern, a Louis Vuitton boutique can advise on care and repair options.
Q: Is the Pochette Métis still part of Louis Vuitton’s current collection? A: Yes. As of 21 May 2026, the Pochette Métis remains an active style, with colours and hardware that may vary by season and region. Availability can fluctuate, so boutiques sometimes have different selections.
Q: What does the date code DU2107 mean on this item? A: Louis Vuitton used date codes until 2021. For pieces made between 2007 and 2020, the two letters indicate the country and the four digits indicate week and year. “DU” corresponds to France; “2107” decodes to the 20th week of 2017. Note that a date code alone does not authenticate an item, and from 2021 LV replaced codes with embedded microchips.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information for this listing. For this piece, that is the box, dust bag and detachable shoulder strap. If an item is not stated there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every piece is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, heat‑stamps, hardware, date code consistency and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional details on request.
