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 of the Cosmetic Pouch GM? A: Approximately 23 × 16 × 8 cm. It has a curved top with a zip and a flat base so it can stand upright on a surface. Please refer to the Measurements section on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: What typically fits inside this GM size? A: Daily make-up and skincare essentials such as a compact, several lipsticks, a 30 ml foundation, travel-size 100 ml bottles placed horizontally, brushes up to around 17–18 cm, a full-size smartphone, and small items like keys or a charger. Actual capacity will vary depending on how you pack.
Q: Can I use it as a clutch or as an organiser inside a tote? A: Yes. Many owners use the GM as a small handheld clutch for quick outings or as an organiser inside larger bags (for example, tote styles). It does not come with a strap or D-rings, so it is intended to be carried by hand or placed inside another bag.
Q: What is it made of and what is the lining like? A: It is crafted from Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas with gold-tone hardware. The interior is a beige leather lining with one slip pocket, designed to keep small items tidy.
Q: Is the canvas water-resistant? A: Coated canvas offers good everyday resistance to light moisture, but the pouch is not waterproof. Avoid soaking and promptly blot any splashes; natural leather trim and lining are sensitive to water and oils.
Q: How should I care for the pouch and lining? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep the leather lining dry; if a spill occurs, blot lightly with a clean cloth and allow to air dry away from heat. Avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol-based products, or oils. Store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: Does this piece have a date code or microchip? A: Many pre‑2021 Louis Vuitton small leather goods have a stamped date code that may be located along an interior seam or on/behind the pocket; codes can fade with use. From 2021 onward, Louis Vuitton transitioned to microchip identification instead of visible codes. As this is a vintage piece, a faint or missing code is not unusual—authenticity is assessed holistically by our experts.
Q: Will a large smartphone fit? A: Yes. Phones similar in size to an iPhone Pro Max fit comfortably, along with a few other small essentials.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing includes the pouch only. No accessories are included unless explicitly stated in the Accessories section.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes a thorough, multi‑point inspection of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes when present. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
