This Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Cosmetic Pouch in red leather with brass hardware is a chic vintage companion for travel, weekend stays or keeping daily essentials organised in a larger bag. In very good condition with light traces of use, it features a red leather lining and a practical top zip closure.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside this Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Cosmetic Pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 18 x 12 x 6 cm, it is best suited to daily beauty essentials such as a compact, lipsticks, small brushes, travel-size skincare, hair ties and other small necessities. It is a compact pouch rather than an oversized case, so bulkier full-size bottles may be a tight fit.
Q: Is this pouch only meant for cosmetics? A: Not at all. Many collectors also use this style as a handbag organiser for small essentials such as cards, cables, tissues, hand cream or other everyday items. It can also work as a small evening pouch if you prefer to carry only the basics.
Q: Does the pouch close securely? A: Yes. This piece has a top zip closure, which helps keep contents neatly contained whether you use it inside a larger bag or on its own for a minimal carry.
Q: What should I know about Monogram Vernis leather? A: Monogram Vernis is Louis Vuitton’s glossy embossed patent leather. It has a striking finish, but it is generally more delicate than standard coated canvas and should be handled with care to help prevent scuffs, colour transfer and fading over time.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Vernis cosmetic pouch? A: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid contact with denim, dark leather, magazines, oils, perfumes, creams and alcohol-based products, as these can mark or transfer onto Vernis. For light surface marks, wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners.
Q: What does the date code CA1028 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this era indicate where and when the piece was made. CA points to production in Spain, and 1028 corresponds to the 12th week of 2008. As with all Louis Vuitton pieces, the date code helps identify production details rather than serving as a unique serial number.
Q: Does a date code confirm authenticity on its own? A: No. A date code is only one part of the authentication process. Materials, stitching, embossing, hardware and overall construction should also be assessed. This is why professional authentication is important when buying vintage Louis Vuitton.
Q: What condition is this item in? A: According to the product information, this pouch is in very good vintage condition with light traces of use. The interior is also rated very good, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with careful previous wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece is listed with no additional items included. Please refer to the product information on this page for the exact included contents, and if you would like to double-check anything, our team can confirm before purchase.
