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 the Louis Vuitton Monogram Truth Toilette 23? A: With approximate dimensions of 23 x 16 x 6 cm, it comfortably holds travel-size toiletries, skincare, make-up, brushes, chargers and other daily essentials. It also works well as an organiser inside a larger bag. Bulkier items may be a tight fit, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this piece be used as a clutch? A: Yes. Although it was originally designed as a toiletry pouch, this size is often used as a simple clutch or carry-all. Please note that this model has no strap or handle, so it is best carried by hand or placed inside a larger bag.
Q: What does the date code 881 TH mean? A: This is a Louis Vuitton date code rather than a unique serial number. In the vintage 1980s format, 881 TH indicates production in January 1988, and TH corresponds to France. Date codes help date a piece, but they are only one part of a full authenticity assessment.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No additional items are included with this piece. If something is not listed in the product information, it is not included.
Q: What condition should I expect? A: This item is listed in very good condition with light traces of use to the exterior and interior. The hardware shows scratches and discolouration, which is common for a vintage piece and reflected in the overall condition.
Q: Do vintage Louis Vuitton toiletry pouches ever develop lining issues? A: This is a common question with vintage toiletry styles. Some older pieces can develop interior stickiness or peeling over time, especially if stored in heat or humidity. For this item, the internal condition is described as very good with light traces of use. Keeping it in a cool, dry place helps preserve the lining.
Q: How should I care for this pouch? A: For routine care, gently wipe the coated canvas and lining with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it afterwards. Avoid harsh cleaners, overfilling, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, and storing damp products inside.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: A Retro Tale states that every item is checked by in-house experts before sale. For vintage Louis Vuitton, authentication typically considers the canvas, stitching, hardware, stamp details and date code together rather than relying on one element alone.
