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 are the dimensions and how much can it hold? A: The Trousse Toilette 23 measures approximately 23 × 14 × 6 cm. It comfortably carries daily grooming essentials such as a toothbrush, razor, deodorant, make‑up, and several travel‑size bottles. Slim 100 ml bottles may stand depending on shape; larger items typically fit best laid flat. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: What is the interior like? A: It has a beige leather lining with one slip pocket and elasticated holders to secure bottles or brushes. The zip‑around closure opens wide for easy access and visibility, making packing and cleaning straightforward.
Q: Is the lining easy to clean and what if it feels sticky? A: The interior is designed to be wipeable for everyday spills. On some vintage pieces, the coated wipeable lining used in this era can become tacky over time due to heat or humidity. Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry; avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged heat. If stickiness occurs, professional cleaning or relining is recommended; DIY fixes exist but are at your own risk.
Q: Is the Monogram canvas water‑resistant? A: Yes, Louis Vuitton’s Monogram is a coated canvas that resists light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. Avoid soaking, prolonged humidity, or high heat. For care, wipe the exterior with a soft damp cloth and store loosely stuffed in a cool, dry place.
Q: What fits inside day‑to‑day? A: Typical contents include travel‑size shampoo/conditioner, face wash, moisturiser, toothbrush and paste, razor, compact hairbrush, deodorant, and a small selection of make‑up or skincare. The elasticated holders help keep bottles upright and minimise leaks while travelling.
Q: Can it be used as a clutch or organiser? A: Absolutely. Although designed as a toiletry case, its structured shape and zip‑around opening make it a smart organiser in a tote or carry‑on, and many owners also use it as a minimalist clutch. Note it has no strap or handle by design.
Q: How does it differ from the Toiletry Pouch 26? A: The Trousse Toilette 23 is more structured with a zip‑around opening, interior slip pocket and elasticated bottle holders. The Toiletry Pouch 26 is a flatter, single‑compartment pouch with a top zip and usually no internal organisers. Choose the Trousse for structure and bottle storage; choose the Pouch 26 for a slimmer profile.
Q: What does the date code 823 mean on this item? A: On early‑1980s Louis Vuitton pieces, a three‑digit code typically indicates the year and month of production. The code 823 points to March 1982. Date codes are a helpful guide but are not unique serial numbers; authenticity is assessed holistically by our experts.
Q: Are any accessories included with this piece? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories. For this item it states “no accessories”, so a dust bag, box, or additional pieces are not included unless specified.
Q: Will it fit in a carry‑on bag? A: Yes. At 23 cm wide, it slips easily into most cabin bags and larger totes, keeping toiletries neatly organised. For air travel, always follow your airport’s liquids rules and pack accordingly.
