An elegant companion for travel and everyday, this Louis Vuitton Monogram Cosmetic Pouch slips into a tote or hand luggage, keeping make-up and small essentials organised from morning meetings to dinner plans—perfect for city breaks and weekend getaways.
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 Louis Vuitton Monogram Cosmetic Pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 20 × 11 × 6 cm, it comfortably holds daily beauty essentials such as a compact powder, 2–3 lip products, travel-size hand cream, mini perfume, blotting papers, and small tools like tweezers. A slim cardholder can fit, but larger items and bulky brushes may reduce capacity. Please compare your items with the measurements for the best fit.
Q: Is this the PM or GM size? A: Based on the listed measurements, this piece corresponds to the compact PM style rather than the larger GM. The PM is ideal for organising essentials inside a handbag, while the GM is noticeably larger and better for more products or light travel.
Q: Is the exterior material leather? A: The exterior is Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas, known for being lightweight and hard‑wearing. It is paired with gold‑tone hardware. Coated canvas is not leather; it is a fabric with a protective coating designed for durability.
Q: What kind of lining does this vintage pouch have, and is it washable? A: This particular piece features a beige leather lining with one internal pocket. Unlike some newer versions that have a washable textile lining, leather linings should not be soaked; instead, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and allow to air dry away from heat if needed.
Q: Is the pouch water‑resistant? A: The coated canvas offers some water resistance for light splashes, but the pouch is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and keep it away from direct heat and sunlight. If it gets slightly wet, wipe with a soft, light‑coloured cloth and let it dry naturally.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather to keep it looking its best? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth (no soap or solvents). Avoid contact with cosmetics, oils, hand sanitiser, and highly pigmented materials that could transfer colour. Keep away from abrasive surfaces, do not overfill, and store loosely stuffed in a breathable pouch in a cool, dry place.
Q: Can this be used as a small clutch? A: Yes, many owners hand‑carry the PM as a minimalist clutch for quick errands or evenings. Please note it does not have D‑rings for a strap, so it is designed to be handheld and to sit neatly inside a larger bag.
Q: What does the date code CA0095 indicate? A: Under Louis Vuitton’s date code format used from the 1990s to 2006, the first and third digits denote the month and the second and fourth denote the year. Therefore, “0095” decodes to September 2005. Date codes are not unique serial numbers and are only one element used to confirm production period.
Q: Do vintage Louis Vuitton pouches ever have sticky or peeling interiors? A: Some older pieces with certain coated textile linings can develop stickiness over time. This pouch has a beige leather lining and our condition check notes only light signs of use inside. If stickiness is ever observed on a vintage lining, professional cleaning is recommended rather than home remedies.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If a dust bag or box is not mentioned there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous, multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts, including materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date code review. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional details on request.
