Values here are published references for the model. Anything we could not verify on an open page is left as “not published yet” on purpose — we do not fill gaps with guesses.

Specifications in cm and inches

Every figure below has a record behind it on this site. Where the record has no value (interior and opening measurements are rarely published), the row says so instead of carrying a guess.

The dimensions come from the model record, which cites the published pages listed under Published specification.

How this size sits in the range

The rows below are the nearest published sizes on this site to the Pochette Métis, measured the same way (width, height, depth). They are here so a 25 cm body can be judged against a 24 cm and a 28 cm one instead of against a number alone.

Comparisons use published outside measurements. Two bags of the same width can hold different amounts, because depth and body rigidity decide more than width does.

Dimensions in cm and inches

One published figure for the Métis, measured on the outside of the body.

The model record publishes the Pochette Métis at 25 x 19 x 9 cm, which is 9.8 x 7.5 x 3.5 inches. The Métis family has other bodies under the same name — an East West shape and larger siblings — so the 25 cm figure belongs to the classic Pochette body and not to every listing that says Métis.

The 9 cm depth is the figure worth remembering. Flap bags at this width usually land between 6 and 9 cm; the Métis sits at the deeper end, which is why it can take a wallet and a phone without the flap pressing on them. Heights are quoted without the handle, and the handle on this model adds roughly the height of a hand above the rim.

Inch values are the published centimetres converted at 2.54 cm per inch and rounded to one decimal, the same rule the guides use. Rows with no published figure say so.

How to recognise it in a photo

Square flap closed by an S-lock in the centre, with a short top handle and a detachable long strap.

Not this style when: A round stud or a double-G closure on the flap is not a Métis.

The Métis shares a name across several bodies, so the photo checks below are about confirming the body, not just the brand.

1. Shape and closure: Square flap closed by an S-lock in the centre, with a short top handle and a detachable long strap.
2. Not this model when: A round stud or a double-G closure on the flap is not a Métis.
3. Hardware: the record lists gold; the clasp or turn-lock should match that finish in the photos.
4. Materials: Monogram canvas, Empreinte leather on the record — grain and sheen in the photo should look consistent with those.
5. Size in frame: the model record publishes 25 x 19 x 9 cm, so a photograph with a phone or a tape beside the bag is the only way to check the tier.
6. Strap and hardware: ask for the strap or handle laid straight, so the drop can be read rather than estimated from a worn photograph.
7. Count the opening: the classic Pochette body closes with a flap over a single compartment and carries a handle, while the larger Métis bodies read longer than they do tall.

What fits inside

What 25 x 19 x 9 cm holds once the flap has to close over the load.

A phone, a full wallet, keys, a compact and sunglasses fit, with the sunglasses laid flat rather than in a hard case. A slim notebook fits; an A5 folder does not, because the flap has to close over it. The front pocket is the practical place for the phone, which frees the main compartment for the rest.

What the Métis will not do is bulk. A padded camera insert, a hard case or a water bottle all force the flap to sit proud, and a flap that does not close is the clearest sign the bag is being asked to hold more than its 9 cm gusset was built for.

• Phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses and a small pouch — a flat flap bag rather than a tote.
• A full wallet, a phone, keys and a compact fit without stacking.
• Sunglasses go in flat; a hard case will hold the flap off the body.
• An A5 notebook or folder does not fit under the flap at this tier.

These capacity notes are read off the published outside dimensions and the tier ladder, not from a measured interior: the site has no published interior figure for this model, so treat them as a size guide rather than a packing list.

No interior figure is published for the Métis, so the capacity notes above are read from the outside dimensions.

How it compares with the next size up

Three published Louis Vuitton bodies sit within 5 cm of the Métis in width.

Against the Speedy 25 at 25 x 19 x 15 cm, the Métis matches on width and height and gives up 6 cm of depth. That single number explains why the Speedy takes a water bottle and a pouch and the Métis does not, even though the two look similar in a side-by-side photograph. Against the Alma BB at 23.5 x 17.5 x 11.5 cm, the Métis is 1.5 cm wider and 2.5 cm shallower.

The step up in the LV range is the CarryAll PM at 29 x 24 x 12 cm: 4 cm wider, 5 cm taller and 3 cm deeper, which moves the load from a flap bag to a shoulder bag that can take a folder. The step below is the Alma BB, and the step across is the Dauphine MM at 25 x 17 x 10.5 cm, published with 1.5 cm more depth than the Métis.

Compared values are the published outside measurements listed in the ladder table above.

What the photos show

The front flap carries the closure in the middle of the body, so a photograph taken straight on should show the flap sitting flat across the full 25 cm width.
