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 measurements and what typically fits inside? A: The pouch measures approximately 17 × 12 × 6 cm (W × H × D). It comfortably holds daily make‑up staples such as a compact, a few lipsticks or glosses, travel‑size hand cream, a small perfume atomiser, hair ties, and a slim cardholder and keys. Capacity will vary depending on how you organise your items—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is this the small cosmetic pouch? A: Yes—based on the measurements, this is the compact cosmetic pouch size often referred to by resellers as PM. Louis Vuitton typically lists it simply as the Cosmetic Pouch.
Q: Can I use it as a clutch or add a strap? A: It works well as a handheld clutch. It does not have built‑in D‑rings or a strap. Third‑party conversion kits exist to add rings/chains, but these are not Louis Vuitton products and are not included with this item.
Q: What is Monogram Empreinte leather? A: Monogram Empreinte is embossed calf leather featuring the House’s signature motif. It is supple yet durable, offering a soft handfeel with refined structure and long‑lasting wear.
Q: How should I care for Empreinte leather and the interior? A: Keep the pouch dry and away from oils, cosmetics and direct heat or sunlight. Wipe the exterior and the red leather lining gently with a soft, light‑coloured cloth; avoid soap, solvents or abrasive cleaners. When storing, fill it lightly to help maintain its shape and keep it in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Does it stand upright on its own? A: Yes. The curved silhouette with a flat base is designed to stand on its own, making contents easier to access.
Q: Does this pouch have a date code? A: Depending on production year, some Louis Vuitton pieces have a stamped date code (older), while newer pieces feature an embedded microchip instead of a visible code (from around March 2021). If you would like us to check this specific pouch, please contact us.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. Unless stated there, this pouch is sold without extras such as a box or dust bag.
Q: Where was this item made? A: This piece is labelled Made in France. Louis Vuitton also produces goods in Spain, Italy and the United States, depending on the model and production run.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point checks by our in‑house experts, reviewing materials, stitching, stamps and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
