Why the Pochette Métis is iconic
This compact structured bag is defined by its signature S-lock closure and practical three-compartment interior, including a rear slip pocket. Its blend of a small footprint with real organisation made it a modern bestseller and a frequent target for buyers.
What to pay pre-owned
Pre-owned UK prices typically range from about £1,000 to £1,600, with a median near £1,291. Empreinte leather, the reverse Monogram and East-West releases, newer date-code eras and pristine condition command the most; a common concern, glazing cracks on the flap corners, lowers value.
Sizes & variants
Buyers look for classic Monogram, reverse Monogram, Monogram Empreinte (black and beige) and the slimmer East-West version.
How to authenticate
- 1.Check for a made-in stamp and date code that is cleanly and evenly embossed in its interior location.
- 2.Inspect the stitching around the flap and trim for even, regular stitches and consistent count with no fraying.
- 3.Feel the weight of the S-lock and read the hardware engraving for depth and precision. For a popular, faked model like this, buy from sellers with an authentication guarantee.
Guidance only — always buy from sellers offering an authentication guarantee.

What should I check on a used Pochette Métis?
