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 size is this Cosmetic Pouch? A: Based on our measurements of approximately 17 × 11.5 × 6 cm, this corresponds to the PM size (the more compact version designed to slip inside most handbags).
Q: What typically fits inside the PM size? A: Daily essentials such as a compact powder, lipstick or balm, mascara, travel‑size hand cream, blotting papers, and a slim card holder or keys. Full‑size bottles and large hairbrushes are better suited to the larger GM size. Some smaller smartphones may fit, but most larger models do not fit comfortably due to the curved top opening.
Q: Can I use it as a small clutch? A: Yes, the PM can work as a minimalist clutch for quick outings, holding a few essentials. However, it is primarily designed as a cosmetics organiser; the larger GM doubles more easily as a casual clutch.
Q: What materials is it made from? A: Monogram coated canvas with natural cowhide (vachetta) leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Monogram canvas is a hard‑wearing coated material, while vachetta leather is untreated and develops a honey‑coloured patina over time.
Q: Is the interior lining washable or wipeable? A: Yes. Cosmetic pouches are lined with a washable textile that can be gently wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Allow it to air‑dry fully before use and avoid harsh chemicals or alcohol‑based cleaners.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and vachetta trim? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a damp, lint‑free cloth and mild soap if needed; avoid acetone or solvents. Keep vachetta away from water, oils, and hand creams to minimise watermarks and uneven darkening. Store loosely stuffed in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: Does this pouch have a date code or microchip? A: Older pieces often have a stamped date code (commonly inside the pocket or along an interior seam). From around March 2021 onwards, Louis Vuitton replaced printed date codes with embedded microchips, so newer items may have no visible code. Either way, date codes are not unique serial numbers, and we authenticate using multiple checks.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: This item is stamped Made in France, in line with the product information on this page. Louis Vuitton also produces in Spain, Italy and the USA, but this particular piece is French‑made.
Q: Is Monogram canvas waterproof? A: The coated canvas is water‑resistant and easy to wipe clean, but it is not fully waterproof. Avoid soaking or prolonged rain, and always protect the vachetta leather trim from moisture to prevent spotting.
Q: I’ve seen some vintage pouches with sticky or peeling interiors—is that normal? A: Some older Louis Vuitton linings can degrade over decades, especially in humid conditions. Professional cleaning or relining can address this if ever needed. This specific piece is graded Very Good with only light signs of use, and any notable issues would be disclosed in the product information.
