FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the Pochette?

What material is the pochette made from?

The exterior is crafted from 100% premium cowhide leather, and the interior lining is made from eco-conscious recycled polyamide.

Is the shoulder strap adjustable and removable?

Yes, the shoulder strap is both adjustable and completely removable, allowing you to wear the pochette as a crossbody, shoulder bag, or clutch.

What kind of items can I fit inside?

Due to its extra-small size, it's designed for essentials like a smartphone (check your phone's dimensions), keys, credit cards, a small wallet, and lipstick. It will not accommodate larger items like tablets or bulky wallets.

How do I clean the leather?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use specialized leather care products for cowhide and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Where is this Longchamp pochette manufactured?

This Longchamp Le Pliage Xtra Xs Pochette is proudly made in France, upholding traditional artisanal techniques.

Can this pochette be used for formal occasions?

Does it have any interior pockets for organization?

Yes, it features one interior flat pocket, ideal for keeping smaller items like cards or keys organized and easily accessible.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or sticky.

Gently rub a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., paraffin wax or a graphite pencil) along the zipper teeth. Operate the zipper a few times to distribute the lubricant evenly. Ensure no fabric is caught.

Leather surface has minor scuffs or scratches.

For light scuffs, gently buff the area with a clean, soft, dry cloth. For deeper scratches, a specialized leather balm or conditioner may help minimize their appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Strap is difficult to adjust or remove.

Ensure the buckle or clasp mechanism is fully open before attempting to adjust or remove the strap. If it feels stiff, gently apply pressure and jiggle it slightly. Avoid forcing the mechanism.

Pochette loses its shape when stored.

Stuff the pochette lightly with tissue paper or a soft cloth when not in use to help maintain its original shape. Store it in its dust bag to protect it from dust and pressure.

Interior lining appears dirty or stained.

Gently wipe the recycled polyamide lining with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). Allow it to air dry completely before closing the bag. Avoid saturating the fabric.

Care

To maintain the pristine condition of your cowhide leather pochette, follow these care guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather exterior with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth to remove dust or light dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive water, as these can damage the leather finish.
  • Stain Removal: For more stubborn stains, consult a professional leather cleaner. Do not attempt to use household cleaning agents.
  • Conditioning: Periodically, use a high-quality leather conditioner specifically designed for cowhide to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the product instructions carefully.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the pochette in its dust bag (if provided) in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it, which could alter its shape.
  • Protection: Protect the leather from rain, humidity, and direct contact with oils, perfumes, or makeup, as these can cause stains or discoloration. Be mindful of sharp objects that could scratch the surface.
  • Lining: The recycled polyamide lining can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth if needed.
