Louis Vuitton New Wave Multi-pochette

Quilted cowhide leather gives the New Wave Multi-Pochette a padded, diamond-stitched surface, soft to the touch and visually distinct from smooth or grained leather. Black smooth cowhide leather, quilted, forms the body, with cowhide-leather trim, microfiber lining and vintage gold-color hardware. The vintage gold finish gives the hardware a slightly aged, warm tone, different from bright gold, and it appears at the chain, strap and pouch attachments. It measures 7.5 x 5.5 x 2 inches (length x Height x Width), a compact crossbody size, with a 2-inch depth that keeps the profile slim against the body.

Versatility is built into the removable parts. A wide strap, featuring an embroidered Louis Vuitton signature, gives a broad, comfortable shoulder carry, the embroidery running along the strap in stitched lettering. A gold-color chain provides hand or short shoulder carry, a metallic alternative to the fabric strap, with a shorter drop that keeps the bag close. A round coin purse clips onto the strap’s snap hook, a small circular pouch that hangs from the strap and can be unclipped for separate carrying. All three elements — strap, chain and coin purse — are removable, so the bag can be worn with any combination of them or with none, carried in the hand as a quilted pouch.

The removable round coin purse measures L 3.5 x H 3.5 x W 0.4 inches, a flat, circular pouch only 0.4 inches deep, suited to coins and other tiny flat items kept in a shape that does not add bulk to the strap. Its snap-hook attachment clips it to the strap, so it hangs alongside the main pouch and can be detached with a single clip movement. Inside the main pouch, the microfiber lining gives a soft, even finish, protecting contents and making the small interior easy to check. The quilted exterior, meanwhile, gives the pouch a padded structure that holds its shape when set down.

The strap is removable and adjustable, with a strap drop of 13.4 inches and a strap drop max of 21.3 inches, allowing a close crossbody fit or a looser shoulder hang. The chain is removable, with a chain drop of 7.9 inches, a short drop for hand or short shoulder carry. Vintage gold-color hardware links strap, chain and coin purse, keeping the finish consistent across the set. This reference is either Made in France, Spain, Italy or in the US. Wide-strapped, chained and coin-pursed, all removable, the New Wave Multi-Pochette in quilted black cowhide leather is a compact crossbody whose configuration can be changed piece by piece, from a full three-element set to a single quilted pouch.
