Description
Model History:
Launched in the early 2010s, the Métis Pochette has quickly become one of Louis Vuitton’s most popular models. Conceived as a refined alternative to bulkier bags, the Métis seduces with its contained format, thoughtful capacity and versatile allure. Its silhouette is inspired by traditional satchels, evoking the elegance of vintage courier bags while meeting the demands of contemporary urban style. The year 2016 represents a pivotal moment in the popularity of this model, with long waiting lists and sustained demand, particularly for the Monogram canvas version like this one.
Exterior Details:
The bag is made from coated Monogram canvas, the company’s signature material since the late 19th century, renowned for its durability and timeless appeal. Stylized floral motifs and the LV logo are precisely arranged on the bag’s dark brown surface. The short handle is in untreated natural leather, with an even honey patina acquired over time. The long shoulder strap, also in cowhide leather, is adjustable and removable, allowing the bag to be worn in a variety of ways depending on the occasion. The gilded metal clasp in the center of the flap is engraved with the Louis Vuitton logo and operates with precision. A zipped pocket on the back completes the design, ideal for slipping in a phone or personal effects for quick access.
Interior details:
The interior of the bag is lined with velvety chocolate microfiber, which effectively protects the contents while offering a pleasant feel. The interior space is cleverly organized into three separate compartments, allowing you to structure your belongings with ease: a wider central one, framed by two slightly thinner side spaces. This organization makes the bag as practical as it is aesthetically pleasing. The “Louis Vuitton Paris – Made in France” branding is hot-stamped on the inside, proof of its authenticity and French manufacture.
Product Condition:
This 2016 Métis Pochette bag is in very good condition. The Monogram canvas is well stretched, with no sagging or alteration of the patterns.The natural leather handle and shoulder strap display an even caramel patina, with very slight traces of use compatible with moderate wear.

Care instructions:
To preserve the shine of Monogram canvas, simply wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products. Natural leather should be protected from water and direct sunlight, and can be maintained from time to time with a suitable nourishing care product. When not in use, the bag should be stored away from light, in a cotton cover lined with tissue paper to preserve its original shape.
