What does Pochette Métis mean?

The term Pochette Métis refers to a specific handbag made by Louis Vuitton. It is a slim satchel that features a flap closure, a top handle and a removable shoulder strap. Its S-lock is inspired by Louis Vuitton's iconic trunks. The house is a world leader in luxury fashion heralded for creative exploration, ingenuity and bold designs such as the universally loved Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires and the variations on the style.

Originally designed as an accessories case, the petite Louis Vuitton Pochette mini-bag was on the arm of every late-’90s It Girl. And because fast fashion didn’t yet exist, the design associated with 1990s fashion — the handbags, clothing and accessories of the era — has a quality appreciated by the millennial generation: authenticity.

The Pochette Accessoires bag is the perfect way to embrace the resurgence of turn-of-the-millennium handbag silhouettes. While the Pochette Métis and Pochette Micro Métis are very popular styles of this bag, fashion lovers looking for more bag compartments will appreciate the conveniently customizable Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette bag — it sees an addition of a smaller version of the pouch and a rounded coin purse.
