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 what typically fits inside? A: This is the PM size at approximately 17 × 12 × 6 cm. It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a compact or small make‑up items, a card holder, keys, and small extras like lip balm or earbuds. Many owners also use it as a tidy in‑bag organiser for chargers and travel minis.
Q: Will a smartphone fit in the Cosmetic Pouch PM? A: Slim smartphones and most standard models fit; larger phones can fit at a slight angle but it will be snug, especially with a case. If you plan to carry a large phone plus other items, consider packing minimally or checking your phone’s dimensions against the pouch length of about 17 cm.
Q: Is this the PM or GM size? A: Based on the listed measurements, this piece is the PM (Petit Modèle) version. The GM is larger and better for full‑size products, whereas the PM is ideal as an everyday catch‑all inside a handbag.
Q: Does it come with a strap or D‑rings for crossbody use? A: The Cosmetic Pouch is designed as a hand‑held pouch with a zip top and does not include D‑rings or an attached strap. Some buyers use third‑party conversion kits, but any modifications are at your own discretion and may affect wear or future servicing.
Q: What are the materials and interior like? A: The exterior is Damier Ebène coated canvas with brass‑tone hardware. Depending on production year, the interior is typically red and may be cross‑grain leather or a wipe‑clean coated textile, with a small slip pocket. This specific piece has a red leather lining with one internal pocket as noted on the listing.
Q: Is the canvas water resistant and how durable is it? A: Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas is hard‑wearing and water resistant for light rain and splashes, though it is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and wipe dry promptly to protect the canvas and trim.
Q: How should I care for the pouch? A: Clean the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed; avoid alcohol‑based cleaners, acetone, oils, or abrasive scrubbing. Store loosely stuffed to maintain shape, away from direct heat and sunlight. For the leather trim or lining, use a dry, soft cloth only and avoid saturating with water.
Q: Where is the date code and what if it’s missing or illegible? A: On vintage Cosmetic Pouches the date code is usually stamped along an interior seam or on a small tab near the pocket. Over time it can fade and become hard to read. Louis Vuitton began phasing out visible date codes in 2021 in favour of embedded microchips, so newer pieces may not have a visible code. Authenticity should be assessed holistically and not by the code alone.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed on this page. For this piece, the Accessories section indicates no accessories. If a dust bag or box isn’t listed, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this pouch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully examined by specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps and model‑specific details. We guarantee the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
