The POCHETTE Club!!!

I purchased my monogram PA in 2000 and I've been stalking the LV site to replace it (it has lived a good life, but is beat up and needs to be replaced). Am I crazy or did the price go up since last month? I thought it was $610 in the US, but now it is listed at $630. BTW, I paid somewhere around $200 for it in 2000.

The price is indeed has increased significantly since years ago and yet it’s still hard to get item.Like you, i also already have one (older version no pocket inside - made in spain) but still I purchased a new one last month as I wanted a newer version that MIF. I still use my old one almost everyday and use the new one occasionally. I won’t get rid of the old one, I keep them both.
If you can get the new one try now before another price increase.

Wow, I wish they were still $200! I paid $630 for mine since I didn't catch it on time before the price increases

Anyone able to get this online lately? I've been refreshing and checking everyday, but no luck!

They’ve been popping up online a lot the last few days! I’d recommend checking the stalking thread since it’s a great source to know when it comes up. I found that the best times are 8-9am, 5-6pm, and 9-10pm PST. I got lucky and called CS and they placed an order for me. Good luck with your search and I hope you get your hands on one soon!

Ahh I hope I get lucky. Thank you!

A couple of months ago I started to research the possibility to acquire a new LV bag. Initially I was interested in a Néo Noé which in September was not available online in the colour combination I liked. I then decided to follow the EU stalking thread where I discovered the buzz surrounding the pochette accessoire. The excitement and frustration related to the scarcity of this little gem was (and still is) very palpable. One day the pochette became available multiple times in the LV online store and I was lucky enough to place an order for the Monogram version. The bag is simple and yet very versatile, I love how it can be dressed up or down. I thought that was the first and only pochette I wanted to purchase until yesterday. I was browsing a well known French website for second hand items and I stumbled upon a listing that had just came out for a Pochette Accessoire in Damier Ébène in brand new condition for a very reasonable price (less than half the current retail price). I got in touch with the seller who luckily lived in the same area as myself and 2 hours later I became the proud owner of a second pochette. I’m over the moon as I love the red interior and the fact that it is a special find as this bag was discontinued a couple of years ago. I have added a couple of straps (leather and chain) that are not original LV’s but that make the pochettes much more versatile. Thank you for letting me share this with you.

Congrats on this rare find! And at a good deal too. It’s a great piece, both as a bag and as an organizer inside a bigger bag. If you’re like some of us here, you might be on the hunt for the Damier Azur one next!

@miknarth it is a slippery slope They way I have justified purchasing the second PA in DE is that I have two daughters and it would be cruel to see them fighting over one bag.

Thats awesome! I found my DE PA in pristine condition back in May, and now that Im finally using it.... im obsessed!

Im definitely more of a DE girl, so im still debating on the PA in mono...however it would be a cute bag for spring.

You're so lucky and for less than half the price???...wow! I would trade in my PA mono for a pristine PA DE any day. I'm more of a DE girl

@Laineyrock Luck was on my side on Tuesday ! I had never considered myself as a DE girl but when I saw the price and the fact that the bag was in pristine condition, I just had to go for it. I’m so glad I did because I really like the look and the practicality of this little gem!

The DE version is my most used bag/slg out of my collection regardless of brand. I sold the original strap as I am not a fan of it. I purchased three other strap options instead. I have the DA version for spring/summer, but still use DE when it rains even during those seasons

@paula3boys I am curious about the straps you purchased. Would it be possible for you to share more information on them? Thanks

Funny, I prefer using the original strap. I may try to wear it crossbody soon though!
