LV Legends: Pochette Accessoires

The Iconic Louis Vuitton Mini Bag That’s Anything But Small

From its humble origins as a handbag insert to becoming one of Louis Vuitton’s most recognisable mini bags, the Pochette Accessoires has solidified its place as a collector’s favourite. Compact yet functional, elegant yet casual, this versatile pouch has been worn as a clutch, shoulder bag and even crossbody — often outperforming larger designs in popularity and resale value.

Originally introduced in the early 1990s to clip inside larger LV bags like the Noé or Bucket, the Pochette Accessoires gained cult status in the early 2000s. In 2013, Louis Vuitton released the New Model (NM) version — slightly larger and more wearable — further fuelling its popularity. Today, discontinued versions of the Pochette are in high demand, especially those in classic Monogram Canvas or limited-edition collaborations.
