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: Is this the PM size and what are the measurements? A: Yes. At approximately 11.5 x 17 x 6 cm (H x W x D), this piece aligns with the Louis Vuitton Cosmetic Pouch PM sizing. Its curved top and flat base keep it compact yet practical for daily use.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Daily touch‑up essentials such as a compact powder, 2–3 lip products, travel‑size hand cream (30 ml), mini perfume, blotting papers, hair ties, a slim cardholder and keys. Full‑size bottles and large brushes are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Will a smartphone fit? A: Some smaller phones may fit, but due to the 17 cm width and the curved zip opening, larger models generally will not. As a guide, devices around 14.5 cm in length can fit without a bulky case; please compare with your handset’s dimensions.
Q: What is the lining and how should I clean it? A: This vintage piece has a beige leather lining. Wipe gently with a soft, dry, light‑coloured cloth. Avoid water, alcohol and harsh cleaners. If a spill occurs, blot immediately and allow to air‑dry away from heat and sunlight.
Q: Is Monogram canvas waterproof? A: Monogram is a coated canvas that resists light moisture and everyday wear, but it is not fully waterproof. The natural cowhide trim will patinate and can mark with water or oils. Keep the pouch away from rain and prolonged heat/sun exposure.
Q: Where is the date code and what does it mean? A: On vintage Louis Vuitton pouches, a date code is typically embossed on a small leather tab inside the seam or near the interior pocket; it indicates when and where the piece was made. Since 2021, many new LV pieces use an internal microchip instead of a visible date code. Code visibility can vary with age and use; our team verifies these details during authentication.
Q: How does this differ from the Toiletry Pouch 19/26? A: The Cosmetic Pouch PM is shorter and more rounded with a flat base, ideal as a compact organiser for a few essentials. Toiletry Pouches are more rectangular with a wider opening and greater capacity, suited to travel‑size bottles and bulkier items.
Q: Can I use it as a clutch or add a strap? A: It can be hand‑carried as a small clutch for essentials. It is not designed for a strap and has no D‑rings; aftermarket conversions are not recommended as they may damage the trim or zip.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: Everything included is stated in the product information. For this listing, no additional items are indicated.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is checked by in‑house experts using multi‑point inspections of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes/microchip where applicable. We guarantee the authenticity of all items we sell.
