I’m sure my Louis Vuitton obsession isn’t news to anyone! My collection was already bursting at the seams, yet no matter how full it is there was always room for just one more Louis Vuitton bag.
So when I found this perfect replica Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis at an unbeatable price recently, there was absolutely nothing stopping me. Now that that little shopping spree has come and gone, let me tell you all about this new addition!
Price/Value
Without a doubt, when it comes to choosing between an original and a replica, price is the driving factor. So when I saw this knockoff LV bag at only 15% of the cost of an Replica Knockoff one $408 with shipping included (got the bag from DD) compared to the official LV’s whopping $2,570 it was a no-brainer!
For those who think it’s worth it to spend $2500 to get the real thing, let’s keep something in mind: this Pochette Metis bag isn’t a standard leather bag. It’s canvas; yes, it’s LV Monogram coated canvas, though impressive and recognizable, it doesn’t change the fact of what it is.
When you think about spending $2500 on a luxury handbag, that’s an investment and I would personally prefer a real leather option instead. So if you see it that way, buying an Replica Knockoff bag seems just not that worth it.
(Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with canvas bags. In fact, Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas is one of my faves. It’s tough enough to last through anything and surprisingly easy to keep clean.)
Now knowing the price is a good deal, let’s take a close look at the bag itself:
- The bag was packed nicely and well-protected.
- Also came with a box, stuffing, dustbags, ribbon, and cards. Pretty much everything.
The Front
- The fake LV Pochette Metis Bag matches the real bag’s measurements exactly.
- The texture and hue of the canvas are also on par with the Replica Knockoff one.
- The metal lock is of good quality and easy to attach and detach.
- The print of the monogram is very accurate from both the front and inside.
- The overall stitching of the replica Louis Vuitton purse is done nicely.
The Back
- Monogram print lines up with zipper on the back just like Replica Knockoff does, overall alignment is PERFECT.
- The back zipper also moves smoothly.
The Side
- The hardware seems to be the right color of gold, not super duper yellow.
- The engraving is perfect and identical to the original.
Interior
- The suede interior is on par with authentic.
- There’s a small tab on the side, unlike other knockoff LV bags often missing.
- Stamping is the perfect depth in my opinion.
- Logo and lettering are neat and clear.
Handle
There are plenty of places offering Louis Vuitton replicas with lower standards, but it’s easy to spot them with the telltale overly red glaze on their handles.
- The glaze of my fake LV handbag is a deep red, just like the Replica Knockoff one.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I would say this replica Louis Vuitton M40780 has met my standards on both quality and accuracy. Moreover, I did a thorough search before purchasing mine, therefore I’ve found nothing negative to report so far.
A friendly reminder though I know some of you are not a fan of medium-sized bags, so you better double-check whether the capacity fits with what you’re looking for in terms of daily needs.
So that’s it for today, what do you think of my Louis Vuitton replica?

UPDATE: IMPORTANT NOTE
Be aware, friends there’s fake DD out there.
A few readers have already contacted me about it and I also saw some comments about it. Some people are getting scammed by lookalikes. You’ve got to be careful and make sure you know the difference:
- The original website name of real DD was: designerdiscreet.ru
- Then the fake DD came out: designersdiscreet.ru (added an “s” in the middle, which is quite hard to spot)
- So real DD added the “-bags” to their website, making it easier to see the difference.
I will put real DD’s link here again: https://designerdiscreet-bags.ru/.

If I’m going to do any sort of serious shopping (not a quick trip to the grocery store or a pop in to CVS), I always feel most comfortable carrying a crossbody bag so that would be my Pochette Metis.
I never really fancied the LV bags or the PM style. But then, I kept seeing it everywhere. Last year, I finally decided to give it a shot and ordered one. And when I took it out of the box, it was like angels were singing or something. It’s become my holy grail bag the shape and size are just perfect for my bigger frame. I guess it might be a tad too big for someone with a smaller frame, but for me, it’s spot on. I initially thought my first LV would be a Speedy, but that one’s just too boxy and sags. The PM, though, it fits all my essentials, even my charging cables and Purell, without looking overly boxy. It’s got the right amount of structure. I love it so much that I’m actually thinking of getting another one in empreinte.
Oh, totally! I was kinda iffy about it at first, but it totally grew on me.
Love the review! I used to have an auth LV Pochette Metis that I got directly from LV, that I would imagine many would say it’s a fake; glaze too red, and tab too long! LOL
Hi all, I would love a vintage style Louis trunk, does anyone know if anyone does them??
Beautiful bag! May I ask how’s the wear and tear?
I just sold an auth LV handbag and I can’t get the thoughts of me being able to get 2-4 high-tier reps out of my mind. 🤣🤣
Do you like patina on your LV bags? I’m about to order a speedy with vachetta for the first time and I’m undecided if I should coat it or leave it and let it patina
I use mink oil and then they sun tan a few days.
To answer your question, yes I love the patina on my LV bags. I do spray with apple garde before first wear to help protect from stains and get that beautiful even patina and then let the elements do their magic. What are you thinking of coating your vachetta with if you don’t mind sharing?
Honestly I haven’t done too much research yet, but I was watching videos and it seemed like people either coated it with apple garde or none at all.. I didn’t know that spraying with apple garde will still allow it to tan. I thought it’d just stay the light cream colour 🙈
Haha yeah apple garde is just a stain repellent. So it helps prevent watermarks
Pochette Métis in empreinte turtledove color!!
Does the grainy texture match authentic?
Thanks for your detailed review. I have auth Pochette Metis in navy with red glazing and totally in love with it. it’s my favorite crossbody during travel. Now looking at your rep, I want to have another one!!!
Trying not to add another black empreinte to my wishlist. I like this a lot!
I’ve seen it online but fell in love when I saw it in person. I love that it’s versatile but also a statement piece at the same time!
I’m absolutely in love with the Pochette Métis. It’s like the perfect crossbody bag for me – not too big, not too small, and the inside organization is such a bonus. on days I need to lug around more stuff for work or travel, it slides perfectly into my Longchamp tote. No need to switch bags all the time, which is a lifesaver.
Totally! It’s awesome how it snugly fits into my bigger tote when I need it to, and then I can just pull it out when I want to rock the Pochette Métis solo. Super convenient!
Thank you so much for this review. I have been researching and eyeing this version of the bag for literally YEARS and only bought a cheap rep off DHG that wasnt even leather it was clearly PU, it smelled awful and had many incorrect parts. Really considering which buyer to get it from.
Your pochette Métis looks similar to my auth one.
how does your bag feel stiff-wise? Does it feel pretty structured?
It’s not stiff at all. There is structure to it but the leather is supple. I wouldn’t worry too much about the stiffness. Leather softens over time with use.
Agree. I got a rep metis that was ridiculously stiff. After many coats of leather conditioner and constantly wearing and squishing it, it’s much more supple now.
Hi all, has anyone bought a rep pochette Métis east west and how it’s wearing? I think it’s such a cute bag!
I purchased a Pochette Metis last year. I adore it. It’s my favorite everyday bag. I have used it a ton but the vachetta seems to have been treated or coated with something. It will not patina. Looks brand new. I have tried applying olive oil several times. Did nothing. How’s yours?
I have a pochette metis from DD and it had no problem with patina. Where did you get yours? It’s odd that some of metis would be coated vachetta and others not be.
I’m torn between the monogram pochette metis and the navy marine rouge one! Part of me wants the monogram because I’m basic, but the other part just loves the navy because it’s not common! Thoughts, suggestions, pictures anyone lol
Personally, I think the navy empreinte is really special!
I’m going to be wildly unhelpful and say both.
I have a DHgate empreinte noir pochette metis, cost me $236USD, but quality 7/10 🥲🥲
I’ve felt tempted many times, but resisted, to buy the same purses from DHGate and especially the cheap one for my daughter.
Same here, ordered one from dhg. I’m pretty sure it’s not leather, but pu. Also, it’s missing the round piece of leather that is behind the front snap on the auth. I gave mine to my niece. She said she didn’t care and wears it proudly. I bought another from AE for $135. It was leather and had the round piece behind the snap. But the leather felt low quality so I sold it.
I bought this bag from two different sellers last year and the glazing on your bag looks really good. It doesn’t have that bright cherry red color at all.
The glazing looks very good, I read on somewhere that bright red glazing is a giveaway of the rep LV
My Pochette Metis is my favorite because it has both a cross body strap and a top handle for easy grab go, but wanted something that was a little flatter and sits closer to the body, especially for travel.
