This vintage Louis Vuitton Vernis Cosmetic Pouch in red monogram vernis leather with brass hardware is in very good condition. Finished with a red leather lining, one internal pocket and zip closure, it is ideal for travel or for keeping make-up and small essentials neatly organised inside a larger handbag.
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 Vernis Cosmetic Pouch? A: With measurements of approximately 18 x 11 x 6 cm, this pouch is best suited to small daily essentials such as lipstick, a compact, concealer, travel-size hand cream, a small perfume, hair ties, cards or charging cables. It is ideal as a make-up pouch or handbag organiser rather than for bulky toiletries.
Q: Will it fit inside most handbags? A: Yes. This piece is very close in size to Louis Vuitton’s current Cosmetic Pouch PM format, so it usually slips easily into medium and large handbags, shoppers and tote-style bags. Please check the Measurements on this page if you plan to use it inside a smaller shoulder bag or mini bag.
Q: What is Vernis leather? A: Vernis is Louis Vuitton’s glossy, monogram-embossed coated leather. It has a patent-like shine and a dressier look than canvas, which makes it especially popular for compact pouches and small leather goods.
Q: Is Vernis leather delicate? A: Vernis is structured and easy to wipe gently, but it does need thoughtful care. Buyers often ask about colour transfer, fading and age-related surface changes on vintage Vernis pieces. Dark fabrics, denim, printed materials and prolonged sun exposure are the main things to avoid.
Q: How should I care for and store this pouch? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, lightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, solvents or heavy rubbing. Store it in a ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity, and do not overfill it. It is also best kept away from dark leathers, denim and magazines, which can transfer colour onto Vernis.
Q: Can I use it for make-up and everyday bits and bobs? A: Absolutely. Many people use cosmetic pouches not only for beauty items but also as organisers for handbag essentials. For best preservation, avoid carrying uncapped pens, loose powders or leaking liquids directly inside the pouch.
Q: Does this item have a serial number? A: Louis Vuitton pieces are generally identified by a date code rather than a unique serial number. On small leather goods, the code is usually stamped inside along a seam or pocket edge, although vintage examples can be faint or harder to read with age.
Q: What is the condition of this specific pouch? A: This item is listed in very good vintage condition overall. The exterior shows scuffed corners, the interior has some signs of use, and the brass hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. These details are consistent with a well-kept pre-owned piece.
Q: Does this item come with anything else? A: This listing is for the pouch only. No additional items are noted as included with this piece.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by in-house experts using detailed reviews of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and other brand-specific details. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we sell and are happy to provide further product information on request.
