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 measurements of approximately 23 x 15 x 6 cm, it is ideal for toiletries, make-up, skincare, travel bottles, brushes, and other daily essentials. Many buyers also use this size as an organiser inside a larger bag or as a compact evening clutch for a phone, cardholder, keys, and small necessities.
Q: Does this pouch have any interior organisation? A: Yes. This style is known for a practical lined interior with a flat pocket and elastic loops, which help keep bottles, brushes, or slim items in place. It is designed to be more structured and organised than a simple zip pouch.
Q: Does it have a strap or handle? A: No. This model is a classic top-zip pouch and does not come with a shoulder strap or carry handle. It is intended to be carried by hand or placed inside a larger bag or suitcase.
Q: Can it be used as a clutch or everyday organiser? A: Yes. One of the reasons the Trousse Toilette 23 remains popular on the vintage market is its versatility. In addition to toiletries, it works well as a clutch, make-up case, or organiser for chargers, documents, and small essentials inside a tote or travel bag.
Q: Is the Monogram coated canvas suitable for travel? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas is durable and practical for travel, and the structured shape of the pouch helps keep your essentials neatly contained. As with any vintage toiletry case, it is still best to place liquids in separate travel bottles or pouches to help protect the interior from spills.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Louis Vuitton toiletry pouch like this? A: Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, soaking, or heavy scrubbing. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and humidity. With vintage toiletry pouches, it is especially wise to avoid prolonged exposure to steamy bathroom conditions and to keep leaking products in separate containers.
Q: What does the date code 861TH mean? A: Louis Vuitton uses date codes rather than unique serial numbers. The code 861TH is consistent with a vintage production format and generally indicates a French-made piece from 1986. As always, the date code is just one part of authentication and should be considered together with materials, construction, and overall details.
Q: What condition is this item in? A: According to the product information, the exterior and interior are both in very good condition with light traces of use. The hardware shows scratches and discolouration, which is normal for a vintage item of this age and type.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No additional inclusions are listed for this piece. Please refer to the product information on this page for the exact included items, as only what is specifically listed should be expected with the purchase.
Q: Is the Trousse Toilette 23 a discontinued model? A: Yes. The Trousse Toilette line is a discontinued Louis Vuitton style, which is part of its appeal among vintage buyers. Pieces like the 23 are sought after for their classic Monogram look, practical shape, and versatile use.
