This vintage Louis Vuitton Vernis Cosmetic Pouch in red Monogram Vernis leather with gold-tone hardware is presented in very good condition. Compact and practical, it is ideal for organising make-up or small essentials inside a larger handbag, and slips neatly into your luggage for weekend trips or everyday use.
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 Vernis Cosmetic Pouch? A: With measurements of approximately 18 x 12 x 6 cm, it is best suited to compact essentials such as lipstick, a compact, small brushes, travel-size beauty items, cards, keys, AirPods or charging cables. Larger items such as a long wallet, full-size toiletries or bulkier phones may be a tight fit.
Q: Can I use it only for make-up, or as an everyday pouch too? A: Absolutely. Many people use this style as an organiser inside a tote or suitcase for make-up, toiletries, tech bits or small daily essentials. Its structured shape and zip closure make it practical for both travel and day-to-day use.
Q: Will it fit inside a larger handbag easily? A: Yes. This is a compact pouch designed to slip neatly into most medium and large handbags, totes and carry-ons. The flat base also helps it sit more neatly than softer pouches.
Q: Does this pouch come with a strap or wristlet? A: No. This model is a simple hand-held zip pouch and does not include a shoulder strap or wristlet, so it is intended to be carried by hand or kept inside a larger bag.
Q: How should I care for Vernis leather? A: Vernis leather is glossy and beautiful, but it benefits from careful handling. Keep it away from denim, dark leathers, magazines and other materials that can transfer colour. Avoid prolonged sunlight, heat, oils, perfume, creams and hand sanitiser, and wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth if needed.
Q: Is colour transfer or light marking common on Vernis pieces? A: It can be. Vernis leather, especially on compact leather goods, can be more prone to colour transfer, small marks and age-related surface changes than canvas. For a vintage piece, light wear is normal and should be expected.
Q: What does the date code CA1102 mean? A: CA is a Louis Vuitton factory code associated with Spain, and the four digits indicate the 10th week of 2012. It is a date code rather than a unique serial number, so it helps identify when and where the item was made but is not the sole test of authenticity.
Q: What is the condition of this specific pouch? A: This item is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior has a darkened leather tab and small marks, the interior shows light traces of use, and the gold-tone hardware is still shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with no product information included. Please rely on the Product Information section on this page for the most accurate summary of what accompanies the pouch.
