Perfect for weekend getaways or business trips, the Louis Vuitton Macassar Toilette Pouch slips neatly into your carry-on, keeping grooming essentials organised in signature Monogram style. A smart choice for the gym or overnight stays, it adds a refined touch to every journey.
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 this Macassar Toilette Pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 23 × 15 × 10.5 cm, it comfortably holds daily grooming essentials such as travel-size bottles, deodorant, a razor, electric toothbrush, small hairbrush/comb, and skincare. It can also work as a tidy organiser for a phone, passport, cables, and small chargers. Capacity varies by how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: How is the inside organised? A: The pouch features one main compartment with a burgundy, wipe-clean lining and an external zipped pocket for slim items like grooming tools or travel documents. The wide zip opening gives easy access on the go.
Q: Is the lining washable and how should I clean it after a spill? A: Yes, the textile lining is designed to be wipe-clean. Empty the pouch and gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water and a little mild soap, then air dry. Do not machine wash or soak the item. This approach aligns with Louis Vuitton guidance for cleaning coated materials and washable interiors.
Q: Is the Monogram canvas waterproof? A: Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas is robust and easy to wipe, but the pouch is not fully waterproof. Avoid soaking or heavy rain, and promptly dry any moisture. Keep leather trim and the zip area away from prolonged water exposure and chemicals; clean canvas with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap only.
Q: What distinguishes Monogram Macassar from classic Monogram? A: Monogram Macassar pairs the iconic Monogram canvas with black leather trim and silvery hardware for a modern contrast, whereas classic Monogram is usually finished with natural cowhide leather and gold-tone hardware.
Q: Does this pouch come with a strap or wristlet? A: No. This model is designed as a toiletry pouch with a side leather handle for easy carry. For what is included with this specific piece, please see the product information on this page.
Q: Will this item have a date code? A: As a vintage piece, it may feature a traditional Louis Vuitton date code. Note that from 1 March 2021 many newer LV items transitioned to embedded microchips and may not have visible date codes. The presence or absence of a date code alone does not determine authenticity—every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our experts.
Q: How should I care for the exterior and leather trim? A: Wipe coated canvas with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and mild soap; avoid alcohol-based products, oils, or harsh cleaners. Keep leather trim dry, and store the pouch loosely filled in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight and humidity to help maintain shape and colour.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this specific piece, the product information notes a dust bag. If you need confirmation, please contact us and we will be happy to help.
Q: Can I use this for airport security liquids? A: The pouch itself is fine to travel with, but liquid screening rules can vary by airport and may change over time. To avoid delays, place liquids in the required security bag if your departure airport still enforces such limits, and check your airline/airport’s latest guidance before you fly.
