Louis Vuitton MultiPochette aka Scam Bag

[EmmJay]

I looked again last night and on my small pochette there is a made in USA tag and also a separate date code tag. On the large pochette, only a made in USA tag and I don’t see anything in the small coin purse as far as tags. Does yours have a date code tag in all 3? Now I feel a little concerned.

The date code on the larger Pochette is on the back of the made in tag. The date code in the coin pouch is in there but you have to look closely.

If you can believe it, I found a separate date code tag in the inner pocket of the larger pochette! I have not found it the coin purse but I feel happy I at least found date code tags in the 2 pochettes..although location is different for both and codes don’t match . Thanks for your help!

My bad, you’re right it is in the pocket of the larger Pochette just like the Pochette Accessoires. Later, I’ll upload a pic of the date code in the coin pouch.

I actually found it! That one was a little trickier!

Indeed but it is there!

I am bumping this thread to ask whether people are happy with their purchase or is this bag or conglomeration of bags too weird? I have the chance to buy a rose and am not sure and I do not really need to spend the $$$ esp. with new stuff on the horizon.

So please- do not hold back- is this bag worth owning?

I love the bag. It is marketed to wear all pieces together, which does not appeal to most. The great thing about it, you can wear it to suit your lifestyle. I have posted many mod shots of various ways to wear this bag. This bag is a forever piece in my collection. I am also glad that I bought it before the immediate price increase at launch.

Keep in mind, this is a permanent piece so you should not be forced to make a decision.

Yes, I definitely think so! I should note that I don’t own many SLGs, so there’s no duplication in the separate pieces of the MPA for me. Also, the way the traditional pochette uses the zipper end with a leather loop (for a strap) is not my preference, either in durability or aesthetics.

My pros would be:
-slightly larger sizes than traditional LV SLGs in this style
-sturdy hardware on both ends of pochettes (not the round one)
-love the straps, particularly the blue/magenta, and ability to crossbody or use as a belt bag
-it’s rather like using a bag organizer...you know where each item is
-feels like adult Legos! [emoji23] It’s just fun for me to play with all the pieces....some, all, luggage tags, etc.

I don’t really have any cons, except I’d like more separate pieces and straps to change things up! I did spray my bright strap with Collonil for some protection against stains, water, etc. I would definitely spray the lighter strap. I should also mention that people often stop me and asked about this bag when I’m wearing it, so if that would bother you, that might be worth mentioning. I live in a large metro area (US), but it hasn’t bothered me or felt unsafe....lots of curiosity surrounding this bag.

Good luck with your decision; hope this helps! [emoji846]

I love mine too. It’s so versatile - I’ve worn the largest pouch alone with my PM strap or a long chain strap, and best thing, both pouches fit my iPhone max, which the regular mini pochette does not do. I use the RCP as a bag charm and as a carrier of my AirPods. I’ve also worn the whole bag together, and I like the convenience of knowing right where everything is. The strap is comfortable, strange since I usually prefer thinner straps but this one is great. I also like lots of small pochettes to keep my bags protected and organized so I like that this one is 3 pochettes in one, and they all fit easily on other straps from my other LV pieces.

Overall I’m thrilled with my bag - truly go back and find EmmJay’s beautiful and many mod shots earlier in this thread. That girl KNOWS! how to wear and style it, and so many other bags!! (shoutout to EmmJay). I bet you might find a way or two that would suit. However as always, since it’s permanent, it might fine to wait. I did that with the onthego GM in reverse, thinking I loved it but it was too huge, but after looking and measuring and really wanting it, realized I HAD to have it (it arrives Monday). That may happen for you, some bags just grow on us, others we know in an instant. HTH and good luck.

Thank you for your honesty and insights. Did you buy the rose or the khaki? I like the idea that the pieces can be used separately. I do not own a canvas LV strap so that is esp. appealing to wear with other bags.

Forgot to say - mine is the rose, and it is a gorgeous substantial strap that I really love. My husband also loves that strap, which is funny, as he notices bags, but never a strap before. I also wear my Pochette Métis mono with the pink strap, which is a great casual look for the Métis too.

Thank you for sharing- your comments have helped me with this decision. I wanted the bag when it launched but was not happy about the immediate price jump so I looked away. I mentioned to my SA that I was interested in seeing the bag a few weeks ago- the rose strap was my first choice but I can see the khaki is just as beautiful. There is no pressure to buy except my own internal concern that it will be while before offered one again. I plan to see irl to make my decision.

I too love the ONTG GM- I hope you love yours. It is on my wish list.

Merci beaucoup for your analysis- your comments will def help me make an informed decision. I totally agree with what you said about attaching a strap to a PA- I have several and the thought of attaching a strap to the zipper makes me cringe. So to have sturdy hardware to attach the strap is a big plus.

Thanks - good luck deciding. Too bad our bag wishes don’t come with a money tree too!!

I bought the Kaki but I have the rose and magenta/rose strap too.
