Perfect for weekends away, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Monte Carlo jewellery case keeps your favourite pieces organised in your tote or carry-on. Its compact zip-around design and soft, lined interior make it an elegant travel companion, just as refined on a dressing table.
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 dimensions and what typically fits inside? A: This compact case measures approximately 17 × 8 × 4 cm. It comfortably holds small jewellery such as rings, stud earrings, thin chains and a delicate bracelet. Chunky bangles or very large statement pieces are unlikely to fit; please refer to the Measurements and photos on this page to plan your packing.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: This vintage Monte Carlo is lined in beige Alcantara and features a single internal zip pocket to separate tiny items. Interior layouts can vary slightly by production year and size, so we recommend reviewing the photos for this exact piece.
Q: Is it suitable for travel and everyday use? A: Yes. The rigid, zip‑around design keeps small valuables secure and the slim profile slips easily into a handbag, tote or carry‑on. For air travel, we suggest placing the case in your personal item so it stays with you at all times.
Q: Does this item come with a padlock, dust bag or other accessories? A: This specific piece is sold as shown with no accessories. Everything included is always listed under the Accessories section; if it isn’t listed there, it isn’t included.
Q: What does the date code MI1926 indicate? A: MI denotes French manufacture. Under Louis Vuitton’s 1990–2006 format, the first and third digits show the month and the second and fourth the year, so MI1926 decodes to December 1996. Please note that date codes are not unique serial numbers and are only one element of our multi‑point authentication process.
Q: How do I care for the Monogram coated canvas? A: Wipe occasionally with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh or alcohol‑based cleaners, acetone, oils and prolonged direct heat or sunshine, as these can compromise the protective coating. Store away from humidity.
Q: How should I clean the Alcantara lining safely? A: Remove lint with a clean lint roller or soft brush. For light marks, dab (do not soak) with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap on a soft cloth, then allow to air dry. Avoid aggressive scrubbing and solvent‑based products.
Q: Can it hold a watch as well as jewellery? A: It can accommodate a slim dress watch, but for frequent travel or thicker timepieces a dedicated watch roll is recommended to prevent pressure on the watch and the lining.
Q: Is this the same as the Monte Carlo 22? A: No. Louis Vuitton produced different sizes. This listing is the smaller Monte Carlo jewellery case at approximately 17 cm wide, whereas the “22” variant is around 22 cm wide with a different interior layout. Always check the measurements on this page to be sure it suits your needs.
Q: How should I store the case when not in use? A: Empty it, wipe it dry, and store loosely filled with acid‑free tissue in a cool, dry place. Keep zips closed to maintain shape and avoid stacking heavy items on top to prevent pressure marks on the canvas and lining.
