Description
Model History:
This pouch follows in the footsteps of the compact, versatile models developed by Louis Vuitton in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Initially designed to accompany travel bags, the Pochette Accessoires quickly gained popularity as a handbag in its own right. This revisited version, with double pocket and detachable shoulder straps, prefigures the aesthetic of the Multi Pochette Accessoires later launched by the house. Made in France, this 2001 model combines the robustness of Monogram canvas with the flexibility of contemporary uses.
Exterior details:
The coated Monogram canvas features the classic Louis Vuitton motif in gold on a chocolate-brown background. The main pouch closes with a gold metal zip engraved “LV”, with natural leather side reinforcements. The small removable pouch, also in Monogram canvas, is secured with gold-plated brass snap hooks. The short shoulder strap in cowhide has a patina finish. The long shoulder strap, also in Monogram canvas, is fastened with pivoting hooks. The metal finishes have a good sheen.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with dark brown cotton canvas. The main compartment has a leather label with date code “AR0011” sewn inside, indicating French manufacture in January 2001. The seams are solid, and the lining shows no major stains or tears.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good vintage condition. The Monogram canvas retains its shine and rigidity. The cowhide leather on the short shoulder strap has a uniform patina. The zippers are functional and fluid. The interior is clean, with no major snags, and the snap hooks are in good working order.
Care instructions:
To preserve the coated fabric, a soft, slightly damp cloth is all that’s needed to remove dust. Natural leather must be protected from water and grease to avoid dark stains. When not in use, it is advisable to keep the separate elements in a fabric cover, away from light and humidity, to maintain the shape and shine of the finishes.
