Louis Vuitton Monogram Jungle Dot Poche Toilette 25

Q: What typically fits inside this pouch?
A: With measurements of 25 x 20 x 6 cm, it typically fits a phone, passport, slim wallet, keys, cosmetics, chargers, cables and other daily or travel essentials. It works well as an organiser inside a larger bag or as a compact standalone pouch.

Q: Can it be used as a clutch?
A: Yes. Many people use this style as a clutch or evening pouch because of its sleek zip-top shape. Please note it was originally designed as a toiletry pouch, so this item does not have a shoulder strap or wrist strap.

Q: What makes this version special?
A: This is the Monogram Jungle Dot version from the 2016 collection, finished in classic Monogram canvas with a multicoloured Jungle Dot print, gold-tone hardware and a pink leather lining. It is more distinctive and harder to find than the standard Monogram toiletry versions.

Q: What does the date code DU1176 mean?
A: Under Louis Vuitton’s pre-2021 date code system, DU indicates production in France and the numbers point to the 17th week of 2016. Date codes help identify when and where a piece was made, but they are not unique serial numbers.

Q: Does the date code prove authenticity on its own?
A: No. A date code is only one checkpoint. Authenticity should also be assessed through the canvas, print quality, stitching, hardware, interior details, embossing and overall construction. At A Retro Tale, every item is checked by in-house experts before listing.

Q: What is the condition of this specific piece?
A: The exterior is in excellent condition and has been personalised with the initials M.M.O. The interior is excellent with light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.

Q: Can the personalised initials be removed?
A: Possibly, but only with professional assessment. On Louis Vuitton pieces, removal often means reducing the foil, replacing the stamped leather part, or leaving a faint impression behind. For that reason, the M.M.O hot stamp should be considered part of this item’s current character unless a specialist advises otherwise.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: No additional items are included with this piece. If a box, dust bag or any other original item is not stated in this listing, it should be assumed not to be included.

Q: How should I care for it?
A: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, humidity and heat. Avoid contact with water, oils, perfume and make-up spills, and wipe gently with a soft, light-coloured cloth after use. Because this piece has a leather-lined interior, it is best treated as a fashion pouch rather than a fully washable toiletry case.
