A compact but not small, concertina style satchel bag crafted from a thick and supple navy blue embossed calfskin with contrasting, bright red glazing, (edge sealant).

Divided into two internal sections with a full width internal slip pocket and additional zipped section to the reverse of the bag, it can be carried by hand, on the shoulder or across the body.

"The Pochette Métis handbag is a chic, scaled-down version of the classic satchel silhouette. This covetable model is crafted from supple Monogram Empreinte leather, accented with an S-lock closure inspired by historic House trunks. Versatile, compact and surprisingly roomy, it is fitted with a stylish top handle and a detachable strap for shoulder or cross-body wear."LV.com

Condition Details -

Born in 2019 and carried only a handful of times, this Pochette Métis is well shaped, unsoftened and entirely colour consistent.

No immediately visible wear, without very close inspection this beautiful piece looks to be in an Excellent condition.

The lightest surface scuffing to the base's LH side trim, (locations circled and shown in close up detail,) stitching is all tight throughout and hardware bright and shiny.

Hardy replacement film has been applied to all of the hardware, (excluding D rings), however there are scratches to the lockplates visible beneath the plastic, (present prior to the film being applied.)

The interior is fully lined in clean, crisp, striped red textile.

The issue relates to the "glazing,*" (the coloured rubbery, inking sealant used to bond and finish the raw edges of leather handles, straps, and flaps). Caused by faulty batches used in construction, when applied by the craftsman it's not identifiable as defective however the consistency begins to soften with time, developing a sticky feel and becoming prone to melting and rubbing. 

This piece is currently only slightly affected with a mild 'tack' to the feel of the glazing in places however surface impressions and two rubs can be noted on one side of the shoulder strap and at both sides of the top handle, as shown.

There are normal, tiny flex crackles to the glazing at each side of the flap back, (not visible when the flap is closed.)

It is recommended that all of the red glazing is professionally renewed before use, as may transfer to clothing, etc.

Louis Vuitton has recognised this as a manufacturing issue and will re-glaze affected pieces, (however they require an original receipt to repair without cost.)

Happy to recommend alternative restoration services, that can also undertake, however wait time is likely to be 2 to 3 months.
