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 of the Louis Vuitton Monogram Cosmetic Pouch PM? A: Approximately 19 × 12 × 6 cm (width × height × depth). Minor variations can occur between production periods.
Q: How does the PM compare with the larger GM size? A: The PM is compact for daily essentials inside a handbag, while the GM is notably larger at about 24 × 17 × 6 cm and can hold travel‑size bottles or be carried as a casual clutch.
Q: What typically fits inside the PM size? A: Daily make‑up basics such as a compact powder, 2–3 lipsticks, mascara, blotting papers, a slim mirror, hair ties and a 10 ml perfume atomiser. Full‑size palettes or long brushes generally require the GM or travel‑size versions.
Q: What is the interior like—does it have a pocket? A: Most Cosmetic Pouch versions have one main compartment with a small interior slip pocket. Linings vary by era and edition, commonly a washable textile or a beige, grained leather‑like lining.
Q: Is Monogram canvas water‑resistant and how should I clean it? A: Louis Vuitton’s Monogram is a coated canvas that is durable and water‑resistant. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed, then dry naturally. Avoid alcohol‑based products, solvents, and harsh cleaners, and keep untreated leather trims dry.
Q: How does the Cosmetic Pouch differ from the Toiletry Pouch 19? A: The Cosmetic Pouch has a curved top with a flat base so it stands upright and usually includes a slip pocket. The Toiletry Pouch 19 is more rectangular with gusseted sides and a wider opening; it measures roughly 19 × 15 × 5–6 cm and typically has a wipeable, ivory‑toned interior without extra pockets.
Q: Where would the date code be, and do all pouches have one? A: On vintage pieces, a date code is usually stamped on a small leather tab inside. From 2021 onward, Louis Vuitton shifted to internal microchips for production info, so newer items may not have a visible date code.
Q: I’ve heard older LV pouches can have sticky interiors—is that true? A: Some vintage models from the 1990s used a vinyl lining often called “Vuittonite” that can become sticky or peel with heat and humidity. Later versions feature washable textile or leather‑like linings that are not prone to this issue. Professional cleaning or relining can address deterioration in affected vintage pieces.
Q: Where are these pouches made? A: Depending on the production run, they can be made in France, Spain, Italy, or the USA. Country of origin is stamped inside; this specific piece was made in Spain.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed on this page. For this specific piece, it is delivered with no accessories.
