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 how much does it hold? A: Approx. 24 × 16 × 8 cm. It comfortably fits everyday make‑up (foundation, compact, lipsticks), a small brush set (up to about 15 cm), travel‑size toiletries, and a smartphone with a slim cardholder. Capacity varies with how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: How does the GM compare to the PM size? A: The GM (Grand Modèle) is the larger size and suits full‑size or multiple beauty items; the PM (Petit Modèle) is a compact organiser for a few essentials. Many owners also carry the GM as a simple clutch thanks to its roomy interior and structured base.
Q: Can I use it as a clutch? A: Yes. While designed as a cosmetic pouch, the GM is often styled as a minimalist clutch for day or evening. It has a top zip and no strap or D‑rings. Third‑party conversion kits exist, but we do not endorse modifications and recommend using the pouch as designed.
Q: What is the lining like and how should I clean it? A: This vintage piece has a beige, wipeable lining with one internal pocket. For routine care, wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water, then air‑dry. Avoid alcohol‑based products, solvents, leather creams, or abrasive scrubbing. Some older wipeable linings can become tacky with age; if that occurs, seek a professional restorer or contact Louis Vuitton for paid repair options, subject to their current policies.
Q: Is the Monogram canvas water resistant? A: Yes, Louis Vuitton’s Monogram is a coated canvas that resists light moisture and is durable for daily use. It is not fully waterproof, so avoid prolonged rain or liquid spills and dry promptly. Keep away from oils and alcohol‑based products, which can damage the coating.
Q: Where is the date code and what does it mean? A: On vintage pieces, the date code is usually stamped on a small leather tab inside the pouch and indicates where and when it was made. Louis Vuitton transitioned to embedded microchips around 2021 for newer items. For this item, we can confirm and share a close‑up photo of any code on request.
Q: Does this item come with any extras? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, no additional items are included.
Q: How many pockets does this pouch have? A: This specific pouch has one internal pocket. Pocket configurations can vary by production year; some more recent GM versions include both a flat pocket and a zipped pocket.
Q: Any storage tips for vintage coated canvas and hardware? A: Store loosely stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged contact with hand sanitiser or perfumes to preserve the canvas and gold‑tone hardware finish.
