Q: Is Empreinte leather durable and how should I care for it?
A: Empreinte is a grained cowhide leather that softens slightly with wear while holding structure. Keep it away from water, oils, and prolonged sunlight/heat; avoid contact with dark or non-colourfast fabrics to minimise colour transfer, especially on lighter shades. Wipe with a clean, light-coloured cloth and store stuffed in a breathable dust bag when not in use.

Q: How much does the bag weigh?
A: The Empreinte Pochette Métis is around 0.8 kg empty. Actual weight can vary slightly depending on the specific edition and strap setting.

Q: Is the S-lock and hardware prone to scratches?
A: Light hairline scratches on the gold-tone hardware are normal with use. Avoid abrasive surfaces and harsh polishes; a soft microfibre cloth can gently buff surface marks. Louis Vuitton offers repair services should you wish to refresh hardware in future.

Q: Does this bag have a date code or a microchip?
A: Depending on the year of manufacture, it may have either a traditional date code or an embedded NFC microchip (Louis Vuitton transitioned to microchips around March 2021).
