Designed for travel days and weekend escapes, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Toiletry Pouch 28 slips effortlessly into a carry‑on, keeping skincare and grooming essentials neatly organised. Equally refined on a bathroom shelf or stowed in a gym bag, it brings timeless LV polish to everyday routines.
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 the Louis Vuitton Monogram Trousse Toilette 28? A: With approximate measurements of 28 × 15 × 7 cm, it comfortably holds several 100 ml travel bottles, a toothbrush and razor, deodorant, skincare/make-up items, a small hairbrush, and slim essentials like a passport and charging cables. Capacity varies with how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions.
Q: Can I use it as a clutch or convert it to a crossbody bag? A: Many owners carry the Trousse Toilette 28 as a handheld pouch or as a tidy organiser inside a larger tote. It does not have built-in D-rings for a strap. Third‑party inserts and chains exist for conversions, but any non‑LV modification is at the owner’s discretion and may increase wear or affect eligibility for brand repairs.
Q: Is this model still in production? A: This is a vintage piece. The classic Toiletry Pouch line was widely reported as discontinued around 2021, and Louis Vuitton’s current range features other toiletry solutions rather than this zip‑around Trousse 28.
Q: What is the interior like? A: The Trousse Toilette 28 features a beige, wipe‑clean lining with one slip pocket and elasticated holders to keep small bottles upright, plus a wide zip‑around opening for easy access. For this specific item, the lining shows stains and dirt marks—please review the photos and condition notes.
Q: Is the Monogram canvas water‑resistant and how should I clean it? A: Monogram coated canvas is durable and water‑resistant for everyday use. Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and a little mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid alcohol‑based products, solvents, or harsh chemicals, and keep leather trim away from prolonged moisture, heat, or direct sunlight.
Q: Do vintage wipeable linings ever become sticky? A: On some vintage pieces the wipeable lining can degrade and feel tacky over time. If this ever occurs, avoid strong solvents; gentle wipe‑downs can help day‑to‑day and a specialist clean or re‑lining may be considered depending on the item’s value and your preference.
Q: What does the date code 823 mean on this item? A: In the early 1980s Louis Vuitton used three‑digit or four‑digit date codes where the first two numbers showed the year and the last number(s) the month. The code 823 indicates March 1982. Note that date codes are not unique serial numbers and are only one element of our authentication process.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this listing, no additional pieces are included.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: A Retro Tale performs multi‑point checks of materials, canvas print, stitching, hardware, heat stamps and date codes, supported by expert handling and reference data. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide extra photos or details on request.
