Review + Mini Comparison: Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessories NM & Neverfull MM Pochette

I have been in need of a classic, casual and versatile clutch.  One that I can dress up for a wedding and dress down for every day use with jeans and a t-shirt.

Meet my new Pochette Accessories NM:

When my SA brought it out, the strap was already attached.  That meant that the looped part was already set and that it was, for the lack of a better term, "creased".  It's not a big issue for me, but just something to note.

I did a thorough exam of the strap, zipper, lining, piping, brass hardware, the pocket and vachetta* tab on the bag itself.

*I'm not sure if it's actually called vachetta (pronounced va-ketta) or vachet (pronounced va-ket) or whatever it actually is.  Jerusha Couture said she was corrected to the second of the two.

This PNM looks elegant without the strap and really makes a statement without being obnoxious.

Made in France 

The piping.

The pocket is the perfect size for cards, cash or your phone (without a bulky case).  I have been putting my cards and some bandaids there for quick access.

The NFP is a touch bigger than PNM, but it lacks in width.  As you can see in the previous picture, the NFP is very thin.  It can actually hold a lot more than you would think though.

For Comparison sake: The NFP can fit an iPad mini and zip and the PNM can fit the iPad mini, but is unable to zip.

The different interiors.  Monogram comes with the brown, DAzur comes with a beige/tan and DEbene comes with the red.

Bought these two gold chains on eBay.  Shoulder and Cross body straps.

The NFP & PNM straps/clips vs. the eBay chains/clips. 

 The clips are super similar; minus the LV engraving.  Also, the chain part is similar to chains on other LV clutch's (Eva, Favorite...)  I have neither, but I watched NastasiaM53's youtube video comparing the Eva Clutch vs the Pochette Accessories.  In that video she linked an eBay seller (KCraft) that sold the chains she mentioned.  These are BG01 style; 50cm (shoulder) and 125cm (cross body).

You can buy the straps via eBay here and also via Amazon here.

In my opinion, this is an amazing piece to look in to.  Super versatile.  Makeup bag, clutch, cross body, shoulder bag, catchall, bigger wallet (if you need that much space); basically it's an amazing little piece.

Listed online at $500 USD and on Guam for a little bit cheaper, plus NO SALES TAX! (:

Overall, I highly recommend this piece.
