Q: What are the measurements and how much can it hold?
A: This pouch measures approximately 18 × 12 × 6 cm, which is a compact size ideal for daily essentials. It comfortably fits items such as a compact powder, several lipsticks, travel‑size skincare, hand sanitiser, and a small comb or brush. Capacity varies with how you pack; please compare with the Measurements on this page for accuracy.

Q: Will a smartphone fit inside?
A: Smaller or standard‑size phones may fit at an angle, but larger models with a case can be tight and may not fit comfortably. To be sure, compare your phone’s dimensions to the 18 cm length and 12 cm height, allowing clearance for the curved zip opening and interior structure.

Q: Is this the PM or GM size?
A: Based on the listed measurements, this example aligns most closely with the smaller PM/standard Cosmetic Pouch sizing. Vernis versions have been released in different series over time, so naming may vary by collection and year, but the capacity corresponds to the PM format.

Q: What is Monogram Vernis leather and how should I care for it?
A: Monogram Vernis is calf leather coated with a high‑gloss patent finish that showcases the embossed LV monogram. It is beautiful but more delicate than canvas. Keep it away from dark denim, printed materials, or magazines that can transfer colour; avoid alcohols, acetone, oils, and hand sanitisers; and store away from direct sunlight and heat. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use.

Q: Is colour transfer a risk with Vernis leather?
A: Yes. The patent coating can absorb dyes from other materials, especially lighter Vernis colours. Prevent this by avoiding prolonged contact with dark textiles, coloured papers, or plastic sleeves, and by storing the pouch in a breathable dust bag when not in use. Once colour transfer occurs it is usually permanent and may not be fully removable.

Q: Is Vernis leather waterproof?
A: The coated, glossy surface is splash‑resistant, but it is not waterproof. Avoid soaking. If exposed to moisture, blot dry promptly with a lint‑free cloth and allow it to air dry away from heat sources.

Q: What is the interior like and how do I clean it?
A: This piece has a red leather lining with a single compartment. For routine care, shake out debris and wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaners or excessive moisture; never use alcohol‑based products inside as they can damage leather.

Q: Where is the date code and what if it is illegible?
A: On many vintage Louis Vuitton small leather goods, date codes are stamped along an interior seam or on a small tab and can fade with wear. Louis Vuitton phased out visible date codes from 2021 in favour of invisible microchips in newer items. For pre‑loved pieces, an illegible code is not uncommon and does not, by itself, indicate a problem—our in‑house team authenticates every item via materials, construction, stamps, and hardware.

Q: Does this item come with any accessories?
A: No additional accessories are included. Everything supplied is listed in the Accessories section on this page.
