Q: Will this fit a 17-inch laptop? A: Unlikely. The Pochette Jour GM measures approximately 25 × 33 × 2 cm, so most 17-inch laptops (typically wider than 38 cm) will not fit. It is best suited to 13-inch laptops and some slim 14-inch ultrabooks. Please compare your device’s measurements to the pouch’s interior clearance before purchasing.
Q: What devices fit comfortably inside? A: A4/US Letter documents, most 13-inch MacBook Air/Pro and similar 13-inch Windows laptops, iPad Pro (11 and 12.9-inch) or comparable tablets, plus slim essentials like a phone and cardholder. Very bulky laptop cases may be too thick; a thin sleeve is recommended if you want extra protection.
Q: What are the exact dimensions and interior features? A: Approx. 25 cm high × 33 cm wide × 2 cm deep. It has an L‑shaped zip for wide access and a single interior slip pocket for documents or a tablet. Capacity is ideal for A4/US Letter papers and a slim laptop or tablet.

Very bulky laptop cases may be too thick; a thin sleeve is recommended if you want extra protection.
Q: Is the Pochette Jour GM padded enough to protect a laptop? A: It is a slim document/laptop pouch in coated canvas with fabric lining and minimal padding. It offers surface protection from scratches but not impact protection. For commuting, consider adding a thin neoprene sleeve for cushioning.
Q: What are the exact dimensions and interior features? A: Approx. 25 cm high × 33 cm wide × 2 cm deep. It has an L‑shaped zip for wide access and a single interior slip pocket for documents or a tablet. Capacity is ideal for A4/US Letter papers and a slim laptop or tablet.
Q: What is Monogram Cobalt? A: Monogram Cobalt is a navy-toned take on Louis Vuitton’s classic monogram, often paired with silver-tone hardware. Some editions feature a red-and-white centre stripe detail; others are plain cobalt monogram. The style appeared in the mid‑2010s and is prized for a modern, understated look.
Q: Does it come with a strap or handles? A: No. The Pochette Jour GM is designed to be hand‑carried as a clutch/portfolio or slipped inside a larger briefcase or tote. There are no D‑rings for a strap.
Q: Is the canvas water-resistant and how should I care for it? A: Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas is durable and water‑resistant, but not fully waterproof. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid soaking, harsh chemicals, or prolonged heat/sunlight. Store it lightly stuffed in a cool, dry place to help maintain its shape.
Q: What does the date code TJ0166 mean on this item? A: TJ indicates a French factory. For codes used 2007–2021, the first and third digits show the production week and the second and fourth the year. 0166 decodes to the 6th week of 2016 in France. Note that date codes are not unique serial numbers and are only one part of authentication; Louis Vuitton began phasing in microchips from 2021.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories. This particular piece is sold with no accessories. If you need a dust bag or gift box, please contact us to see if we can assist.
