Louis Vuitton Monogram Cosmetic Pouch

Q: What typically fits inside this Louis Vuitton Monogram Cosmetic Pouch?
A: With measurements of approximately 19 x 12 x 6 cm, it is best suited to everyday beauty essentials such as lipstick, a compact, concealer, travel-size skincare, tissues, cards, keys or charging cables. It also works well as an organiser inside a larger handbag. It is not intended for bulky bottles or larger palettes.

Q: Will a phone fit inside?
A: Some slim phones may fit, depending on their size and case, but it is not guaranteed. Because this is a compact cosmetic pouch with a rounded shape, we recommend comparing your phone to the Measurements listed on this page before purchasing.

Q: Is this pouch only for cosmetics, or can it be used as a clutch as well?
A: It can be used either way. Many people use this style as a compact organiser for beauty items, while others carry it as a small clutch for light essentials. Please note that it is a pouch rather than a structured handbag, so it is best for minimal carry.

Q: Does this pouch come with a strap or handle?
A: No. This piece is designed as a zip cosmetic pouch and does not include a shoulder strap or handle. Any included items are always listed in the product information, and this item is noted as having no additional items included.

Q: Is the lining easy to clean?
A: Cosmetic pouch styles are generally practical for daily use, and light surface marks can usually be addressed gently. For a vintage item, we recommend using only a soft, light-coloured cloth and avoiding harsh cleaners, soap or solvents. As with any pre-owned piece, gentle care is best.

Q: What does the date code CA1026 mean?
A: For Louis Vuitton pieces from this era, the two letters indicate the production location and the four numbers indicate the production date. CA corresponds to Spain, and 1026 indicates December 2006. Date codes are helpful for product information, but they are only one part of a full authenticity assessment.

Q: What condition is this pouch in?
A: This item is listed in very good vintage condition with light traces of use. The exterior shows light wear, the interior has light signs of use with some marks on the inner logo, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches and some discolouration.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: No additional items are included with this piece. If a box, dust bag, authenticity card or any other extra is not listed in the product information, it is not included.

Q: How do you authenticate this Louis Vuitton pouch?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted using multiple checkpoints, including materials, construction, stitching, hardware, stamps and date code details. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we sell, and the date code and made-in details on this item are consistent with the model era.
