If you’re on the hunt for an underrated SLG at Louis Vuitton today (or any other day, for that matter), the Félicie Pochette would be it. It’s essentially a boxy pouch that measures 21 cm wide and 12 cm high, opening via the V-shape flap to a spacious interior that will fit several essentials neatly within. All in all, that’s good enough if you need a simple accessory for your daily errands, slung perfectly across the shoulder via the accompanying gold-tone chain.

But wait, there’s more to the Félicie Pochette than at first glance.

It actually comes with two extra removable pockets that can be used together with the pouch, giving you a full-fledged WOC without having to carry anything extra. There’s a flat pocket (in a solid colour that matches the interior) equipped with 8 card slots, while the second zippered pouch can be used to keep everything else like your cash and cards, all safely secured within. Both pockets can also be taken out and used together with your other Louis Vuitton bags, especially if you find yourself needing an extra card case or zip pouch to keep your bag well organised.

The idea of having 3-in-1 bags is not an entirely new concept at Louis Vuitton, and you’ve previously read about pieces like the Pochette Kirigami here. But what makes the Félicie Pochette extra special is its versatility and the numerous ways it can be worn. Remove the chain and it becomes a hand-carry clutch. Attach a longer/thicker strap and you can wear it across the body. Also, no one’s stopping you if you choose to use it as a continental wallet together with your bigger totes like the Neverfull or Onthego.

Above all, it comes at an attractive price starting from SGD1490 for the ones in Damier Azur, Damier Ebene and Monogram Canvas, going up to SGD1650 for Epi and Monogram Vernis. If you prefer a material that’s slightly more luxurious with a lovely embossed texture, go for Monogram Empreinte (SGD1820), available in 5 different colours: Marine Rouge, Noir, Rose Poudre, Scarlett and Tourterelle. The Félicie Pochette can be purchased online via this link, with the dedicated team at Louis Vuitton in Singapore offering complimentary contactless delivery right to your doorstep.
