Why is it feminine?
Poche is feminine. While it does derive from Frankish *poka (a Germanic borrowing into Old French), the reason for its feminine gender in French is not clearly explained by Romance language patterns or documented Germanic sources. French gender assignment for borrowed words often follows phonetic patterns or analogy with existing words rather than inherited gender from the source language. The feminine gender of "poche" is best treated as a lexical fact established in Old French usage rather than derived from a systematic rule.
