The LV Crafty capsule of 2020 blew the Monogram up to an exaggerated scale and rendered it in contrasting inlaid leather, turning the house's most familiar pattern into something closer to graphic design.
This Pochette Métis carries the Giant Monogram in cream against black grained Empreinte leather, with the signature S-lock closure, a braided leather top handle and gold-tone hardware.
Please note: the red flower motif currently attached at the lock is a decorative addition and not original to the bag.

Why this piece
LV Crafty was a single-season 2020 capsule
Giant Monogram inlay rather than printed canvas
Pochette Métis is among LV's most consistently in-demand shapes
Black and cream is the most wearable Crafty colourway
Positioning
Remove the red flower before photographing, or state clearly that it is an added decoration. Buyers at this level know the Crafty Métis intimately and an unexplained non-original element on the lock reads as a warning sign rather than a personal touch.
Closing
LV Crafty came and went in a single season, and the Pochette Métis was the shape that carried it best.
