Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis
Ok, this is my most used and oldest crossbody bag and it looks still new.And it still looks like new.

The bag has a top handle and a long crossbody bag which makes it really versatile. And it has multiple internal compartments as well as the back zipped one to keep your phone.
The logo embossed grained leather is extremely durable even in the humid climate. And it looks so expensive. This is why this bag has lasted so long and probably will last a few more years.

Now the price for this bag has increased this year like all other brands, so if you want you can also shop vintage.

The timelessness of the design is what makes this bag so attractive. The boxy style makes this crossbody bag structured and it will elevate your casual outfits as well.
The simple design makes it look way more expensive. In fact Celine pre loved bags are still worth a lot. And the only ones I could find are from 2016 or before, which means this bag is really popular among women.

The Solferino comes in a lot of shade, but it looks classy in black and white. Its simple boxy design makes it easy to put stuff easily without and weird corners.
The bag has an inner small compartment along with a front slip compartment where you can put phone or card case if you want.
