Louis Vuitton MultiPochette aka Scam Bag

I downloaded the NFC Tools App and I was able to scan my item that has an NFC chip. I scanned it twice. The last eight alpha numeric characters of the serial number was the same on both scans. The tag type is also unique. The serial number is 16 alpha numeric characters. I’m unsure as to what any of the information means. However, it was reassuring that I was able to scan it. The app allows you to save the scan but because the scan is not unique, I didn’t save it.
Another interesting thing, the smaller pochette from the multi did not scan. My CA said the chip is in the larger Pochette. I think this is very interesting considering some people tend to sell some of their items that are bundled like the multi Pochette. I hope this new technology ends the replica market and curb reseller habits (those who buy for the purpose of reselling only).
 
If you already had the canvas MPA, do you think it's a waste of money to get the empreinte one too? I own the Khaki MPA already (which I really like and have no intention of selling) but yesterday I saw someone carrying the smaller blank empreinte pouch with the chain and it was so cute that now I kind of want it. I love the chain that comes with it and it just seems more elegant than the canvas version (which I feel is more hip/trendy). Maybe I'm just trying to fill the "little dressy black bag" in my collection...

I think they’re very different. The canvas is more casual/sporty. The black is smart, classic when separated and makes for a lovely evening bag. I like that the chain strap can also be used on both pieces unlike the canvas version.

Yes, the chain on the canvas version was SUCH a disappointment. I was looking forward to using it on other bags as well only to find it doesn't come with a clip on the ends. I was glad to find the one on the leather version can be used on both pouches. I have the normal PA as well in mono and DE, which is why I'm hesitant to buy even more pouch-style bags. Though maybe I will just sell one of them to offset the costs.

Thanks for the tip! I was able to do the same with my recent BTP purchases!

EmmJay could you share a modshot with your black Empreinte MPA, if you don’t mind?
 
Hi everyone, can anyone advise if the multipochette is still in style? Do you think this is a trend only and will be over shortly?
I think it is definitely still in style as LV released some variations this season and there are similar bags by other designers out there too. I do think the style is a trend, but not worried that it will be over shortly. Even if it were, I would still be fine wearing the bag and also using the various pieces alone and in other combinations.

Thank you. Would you choose this over the Felicie? I am just not sure about the very thick strap.
 
Yes, over the Felicie Pochette and over the Strap and Go version. But that is of course just my opinion, based on functionality and usefulness for my lifestyle. I love the wide khaki strap, but also have a chain strap that can be used esp for the larger pochette when that is all you want to carry.
Maybe wait a bit since you’re unsure?

Oh I actually have a thinner vachetta strap from LV that I could use on the multipochette. I think like how the multipochette is very unstructured. Do you think you fit a good amount in the multipochette? I heard on here that the Felicie is getting discontinued so might want to grab that one before I cannot but also need to make sure that is true.
