Description
Model History:
Launched in the early 2010s, the Pochette Métis quickly became a Louis Vuitton bestseller. Designed as a modern alternative to classic shoulder bags, it draws direct inspiration from the house’s codes, notably the rigid lines of the trunks and the metal clasp. Its success lies in its versatility, timeless allure and ability to endure the seasons without going out of style. It has been reissued many times in different materials, but the Monogram version remains the most emblematic.
Exterior Details:
Monogram’s dark brown LV and floral Monogram canvas is reinforced by natural cowhide leather finishes, visible on the flap, handle and top of the shoulder strap. The golden S-lock clasp is engraved “Louis Vuitton” and combined with a light leather piece for opening. On the back, a zipped pocket provides quick access to essentials. The sides feature triple gussets, offering modular volume without altering the bag’s shape. Golden metal elements complete the traditional Louis Vuitton aesthetic.
Interior details:
The interior is lined in dark brown microfiber, soft to the touch and hard-wearing. It is divided into three main compartments by internal gussets, allowing optimum organization. A patch pocket secures small items. The leather label stamped “Louis Vuitton Paris, Made in France” confirms the model’s authenticity.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good condition. The outer canvas is clean and free of snags. Corners are intact, with no perforations. The natural leather has an even patina on the top handle. The gilded metal elements are shiny, with visible micro-scratches on the clasp. The interior is clean, with no stains or odors.
Care instructions:
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and humidity to preserve the patina of the natural leather. Clean the Monogram canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and the leather with a care product suitable for untreated leather. Store the bag in its cover when not in use, padding it lightly to preserve its shape.
