Hi, Lula! Thank you for this video. I was on the German LV website. I compared the pictures of the Pochette Accessoires NM with the ones of the Pochette Accessoires LV My Heritage. I noticed 2 improvements you didn't mentioned: 1) a new D-ring on the side of the bag (under the vachette leather tab) for the added golden strap. 2) the attachment in canvas (on the other side of the bag) seems to be different. Normally, the D-ring is directly attached to the canvas part at the side of the PA. The NM seems to have a small piece of canvas sewn to the side part of the PA. Like a reinforcement. If it's correct, it's a HUGE improvement because I have seen SOOO many preloved PA with cracking canvas at this exact location on the PA. It's THE reason why I could not buy one preloved until now. We all know that LV doesn't fix canvas issues. Overall, LV offers the PA NM at a higher price (+ EUR 200 /+ about 18,18 %) BUT we have now a less "basic" bag. Included in this higher price are: 1) a substantial golden chain (which a lot of people added to their PA anyway) with a separate D-ring. 2) a zipped pocket for more security. 3) a better organisation inside with slots/pockets. 4) If I'm right, a better attachment for one of the D-rings. For me 👍. I'm excited to see this PA NM in store!!!

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Thank you SO MUCH for calling out these improvements!! I completely missed the changes made to the D-rings. Thanks to you, I just added a pinned comment to this video with better photos showcasing these improvements. I am very glad to see that Louis Vuitton did not just slap a gold chain on this as an excuse to raise the price - I’m so pleased to see these thoughtful improvements made to the PA. Thanks again for pointing these out!! ❤

Hello, just got this new pochette and your description is perfect. I will say that the interior changes does take space away from the previous version, however, you can pack this entirely different from the previous version - for example - you may not need a wallet or card case as this interior allows for you to put cards/cash, etc in either the card slots or interior zipper.

[@etamang]

This is such a great and informative video! I will be making my first LV purchase this month and this video really helped me decide whether or not the Pochette Accessories is for me :)

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Thanks so much!! So happy to hear it was helpful. 🥰 And congrats on your first LV! What did you decide?

[@etamang]

@@LulaWestLuxeI went with the Pochette Accessories! After watching this video, I just knew that it was perfect. Thanks again 💕

[@stuartmaybe1745]

Wow, the new model is exactly what I want !!! Really practical bag !!!

[@andreacardenas8723]

I just went to the LV store to buy the current version. My concern with the new version is that it’s the same size and they added all that organization inside which actually will make it fit less inside. I want the flexibility to add more things into the big open compartment. I’m glad I was able to get one before they discontinue it! (And the current price is better. I can add my own chain strap 😊.)

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Yay! I’m glad to hear you were able to get the one you wanted! I’m also curious to see what will fit in the new one vs the old.

[@misslizz27]

How much was the older model?

[@andreacardenas8723]

It was $1,290 when they discontinued the version from last month.

[@misslizz27]

Thanks for the info!@@andreacardenas8723

[@Kiruta]

I prefer the old version...if they were going to make a new version, they should have made it at least 2-3 inches bigger so we can fit more stuff for that price ...

[@LulaWestLuxe]

I’m just glad they didn’t make it smaller!!! 😅🤣 An extra 2 inches would have been phenomenal!

[@ZarahLevina]

I have this bag from 2004 and bought it for €180 and I just cant believe the New prices

[@robert4278]

@@ZarahLevina paid $1,300 usd for it back in may. quality wise not worth it but I have gotten my moneys worth with the wear :)

[@VLOGNOSIS]

I am helping my sister decide on a bag, and this video has been very helpful.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

That’s awesome! Good luck to your sister! I’m sure she’ll find the perfect bag. ❤️

[@bagsandbubbly6484]

I love it ! …… I could never get past not being able to secure cash inside the bag …. Zipper section makes it perfect for cash/cards without having to put a wallet inside. Thanks for the info 💖

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Thanks so much for watching! 🤗💕

[@pbhp9639]

Wow. I’m so glad I bought the original one last year!

[@LulaWestLuxe]

You got one just in time!! 🙌

[@dmcclellan8743]

I think a lot of people will love this updated version! For me personally, i don’t care for it. I bought the original version in March of 2020 for $579 and even though I’ve never used it, I’m happy to have it in my collection. I would never buy it now for the increased price.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

It’s nuts to think how much the price has gone up in a few short years! 🤯

[@dorinatudisco1308]

Thanks for sharing! I’m so glad I have the original pochette accessories. They are also discontinuing the Loewe Puzzle and replacing it with a different version, and I am so glad to have the original puzzle also.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Yes!!! I heard about the puzzle bag, too. Unfortunately I don’t know too much about the changes to that bag but hopefully it’s an improvement.

[@bonezeee]

Thank you for this detailed explanation. I actually really like this new version!

[@annettewhite9297]

I was waiting for this review on the new LV pochette thank you for sharing yes both are the same size

[@fabulousirene]

Wow, love the new version of the chain, but of course it is a lot expensive. Awesome comparison darling 💕

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Thank you! 🤗

[@kadf3069]

Thank you great video. I'm considering this but I would love it Ebene or Azur. Do you know if they will be making it in one of those two prints?

[@LulaWestLuxe]

I haven’t seen this coming in the regular DE or DA prints yet, but there will be a special edition pochette accessoires in March/April as part of the SS24 collection. It looks like DA but a larger print. I’m not sure if that makes sense. 😅 No pics yet. 😔

[@kadf3069]

Ooh that sounds interesting! Hopefully it will be the same colors ❤

[@DaniOchannel]

Tbh, I love the new version. The compartments would work soooo well for me❤

[@LulaWestLuxe]

It’s a really nice upgrade! ❤️

[@cherisebanks3337]

I just checked the Louis Vuitton website and here in the USA the old version it’s still available on the website and it’s add to cart

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Ohh thanks for the update Cherise!! Hopefully it will stay up there for a little while! I thought it was odd that it’s already off the EU site but still on the US site.

[@leeannhall4060]

Love the additional organization! Adding a zipped compartment eliminates the need for a card holder or compact wallet as you can put cash/extra cards in there. I do want to note that the WOC Ivy does not have a flat slip pocket behind its zippered compartment.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Thank you for clarifying about the Ivy WOC. I couldn’t remember offhand, so thank you for the correct info! ❤️

[@llovesluxe]

Personally excited on this one and although I have several already in different canvases, will be purchasing. I like the improvements they made and it’s such a great piece.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Enjoy your new PA when you get it! ❤️ LV made some great improvements to it.

[@raemcleod5253]

Thanks Lula for your interesting content today. I’ll wonder if they will produce this new version in all three prints? I missed out on the damier ebene and would love to have one! Best wishes fromBahrain, Rae

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Thanks so much Rae! Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️ Unfortunately it’s only in monogram for now, but I won’t be surprised if the other prints follow soon…

[@personalme2717]

I like my original bag but the new one is super cute with the added features. I probably won’t purchase it because I think the Ivy Woc would be a better buy for me. Great video

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Thanks for watching!! I agree that the Ivy WOC is a nice addition to go with the original PA. ❤️

[@sarahzal8770]

Hey girls Well i purchased the ivy Woc and I am actually thinking about to exchange the ivy to this new pochette. They are similar but the new pochette is higher than the woc. For my case I would actually prefer the pochette. I thought the ivy was the best, because I was tending to buy the new favorite but damn over 2000€ 🥲 is way to much so If you are considering the type like ivy then I would get the new pochette because it’s cheaper than the ivy and it’s higher plus the ivy have cracking issues on the sides. That’s why I thought buying in black empriemente will be better but actually it’s not 🥲 I wish you good luck ❤️🌸

[@kristen8501]

I hate the inside zip compartment but love how they are now putting the shiny hardware on the bags and the extra chain is nice.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Overall, it’s a nice upgrade!! Thanks for watching!❤️

[@Jploveslv]

I like the added features they put on here.

[@YotaStyle]

Louis Vuitton did it again!! I don’t think they’ll be anything under $1000 including small leather goods by the time they re-design all of their items they want everything to be super expensive which it already is and was. Thank you for the video. Very fascinating.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Right?! Prices have been nuts the last couple e years. Time to enjoy what we have!! Thanks for watching 💕💕💕

[@shayea1887]

wow I actually like it! I mean considering the old model is alredy pricey--200ish more for a gold chain + the zipper compartment security/extra slots it is not too bad if you tink about it. Unfortunately i purchased the old model last year. Off the topic--do you know when is the nano Alma in monogram canvas coming out Lula? im excited about that one!

[@LulaWestLuxe]

The monogram nano Alma is scheduled for November!! 🤎 Either November 11 or 17. I saw both of those dates in two different places.

[@tracydelano5189]

When will the new one be available on the web site ?

[@LulaWestLuxe]

The launch date I saw is October 1, so it should be soon!!

[@tracydelano5189]

Thank u so much

[@traingirl.meghan]

I'm surprised LV kept the zip tail on the new one. I think they did this to compete with the secondhand market. There are so many available secondhand, so people need a good reason to buy one in store. Some people prefer to buy new regardless, and some people will be motivated by the extra straps. Once any bag becomes discontinued, the secondhand market price goes up. This actually works in LV's favor because for a bit more, a person can get one new with extra straps without all the worries that come with buying secondhand. Just a quick google shows the PA secondhand online between $750-$950 (with lower prices being heavily worn). This is all just my guess, but I think they wanted new intro bags as the alma and others slowly go up in price. 😊

[@politesmile7812]

I think it’s worth the extra money. I like the chain. I like the extra reinforcement they’ve added on the loops. It needed an update first the extra money anyway.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Definitely! I was really glad to see that LV didn’t just slap on a chain and raise the price. They made some really thoughtful improvements to the design.

[@BureauKat]

It’s crazy how the price of this has skyrocketed in recent years. In December 2020 I bought one for 630.00$. Three years later the price has doubled. Whoa.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Yup! It’s really hard to believe!! I’m glad I got mine when I did, too. ❤️

[@suzyq8777]

The original version is still on the US website....at least for now.

[@bee3027]

Is the chain on the new one going to be short?

[@LulaWestLuxe]

It should be the same as the leather strap. The website has as the same length listed for both. ❤️

[@luvinlvbags4636]

I have the trifecta of the old version and I love them I’ll be passing on the version thanks love the video ❤

[@LulaWestLuxe]

How lovely to have the trifecta! 🤎🤍🤎 I only have the monogram version, but now I’m tempted to get the DA too before it goes away. 😅

[@reneehampton7665]

Thank goodness it is not something I ever wanted. I have stopped buy luxury bags. The prices are ridiculous. I am going to enjoy the many that I already have and don’t give enough attention to.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

That’s a great attitude!! Sometime we get so caught up chasing the latest and greatest that the treasures we already own are neglected. 😢

[@joannathesinger770]

I'm collecting vintage. It serves me in that I prefer the vintage aesthetic and somehow, I missed out the first go-round.

[@StephsAdventuresAndFabFinds]

Wow! Had to think on that one. Ya no glad I got my old model a few months ago bc these fabulous changes they are making will make the bag heavier & the zip pocket I would rather have a slip pocket bc does not scratch & I put my mini inside for loose items I want zipped if need b or dangle it from the outside lk a multi pochette. I already have that chain strap on my toiletry pouch, etc. so I don't need it. I'd rather have the open space 4 if I need it. Depends on how you use it as well. I put mine in my Neverfull a lot. Can't say I won't end up with both but for now.... I'm good.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

That’s a good point Steph! I wonder if this new model is much heavier than the old one. I’m happy with my old pochette for now too. 😊

[@Jp22573]

I purchased mine a few months ago, and added an organizer for it. Therefore I have no need for the new one.

[@cindybissonnette437]

I like the changes. Now you don’t need a card case or wallet but they should have made it slightly bigger. For the price the Felicie is a nicer bag.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

I agree with you about the felicie. I love that the inserts are removable. ❤️

[@anitalayton5139]

I so enjoy ur videos. However, when talking about measurements in cm’s, it would be super helpful to convert that to inches! Anita

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Thanks for the feedback Anita! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️

[@etubrute8474]

Wow. I bought my first pochette accessories in 2000 for just under $200. I thought buying the Stephen Sprouse graffiti and roses at $400 was much. These increases are ridiculous.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Yeah, the pochettes have gone up in price A LOT in just the last few years. 😔

[@kathyn1343]

I think the price on this is ridiculous anyway now, and the new price with the “improvements” is just eye watering! So glad I bought mine a few years ago, as I do use it frequently when going out. Only way I would consider it is if they brought it out in DE 😬😬😬.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Haha I feel you! I’m glad it’s not out in DA, or I’d be tempted too! 😂

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

Never understood the love for this; does anyone actually use it as a bag because it’s right up under the armpit for many? Would need a cross body strap for me to consider it and to be attached via D rings on the canvas both sides, not pulling on the zip.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

I’ve used my pochette accessoires a lot and not one have I used that little leather strap. 😆 you’re right it’s too short. I either use it inside a tote bag, or as a purse I always use a crossbody strap. But I am happy to report that the strap pulling on the zipper hasn’t been an issue. I don’t think there’s enough weight to pull it very hard.

[@ChristinaMaritza81]

It is not entirely correct that they have not had large global price increases this year. I live in Denmark and we have already had two big ones in 2023.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

That’s true! Australia was hit with price increases this year too. Some markets, like US got through without any big increases.

[@13ikea]

The current PA price is ridiculous. The new version has way too much going on for the size.

[@katrinapineda6873]

Insane pricing! I dislike the chunkier chain and the zipped pocket (too big for this bag imo). They're pushing it too much as a standalone bag and not anymore a bag-within-a-bag. To me it lacks details to be a standalone bag I'll willingly spend my money on.

[@monicae67]

No, it isn’t a huge price jump between the old version and new version. What is a huge price jump is where the old version is currently priced at. I’d rather purchase the new version and pay the extra cost than purchase the old version at the current price. The old version is not worth over $1200 in my opinion. I feel the same way about the mini pochette. I feel the mini pochette is no longer worth purchasing at that price point and if you do want to purchase it then get the new version with the chain. It is a tad larger and the chain is stunning!! The additional chain also allows you to wear it crossbody which makes the bag more versatile to carry.

[@Buttercookiesssss]

I prefer the simpler pochette style..

[@babycakes1402]

Ya, I think I'll stick with the Coach Nolita, basically the same thing that's not even $200.00

[@LulaWestLuxe]

I love Coach too! You can’t beat their quality in that price range. ❤️

[@babycakes1402]

@@LulaWestLuxe no & unlike the 'pricer names', the quality is still incredible where I've been hearing about Chanel's quality dropping while the price continues to climb & similar complaints about other big name brands.

[@foodandlipstick]

Who even asked for these “improvements?” I’m all about less cracking in the canvas, but this upgraded design seems unnecessary in my opinion.

I wish they would have offered both options for sale instead of just replacing the old model. Would have been nice to have options.
