This vibrant Louis Vuitton Reade PM is a quintessential piece from the early 2000s Vernis collection. Crafted from the house's signature glossy, embossed monogram Vernis (patent) leather in a stunning, rich shade of red, this bag is a perfect example of chic, compact luxury. The structured, horizontal tote silhouette is framed by polished, natural Vachetta leather trim and sturdy rolled handles, creating a timeless color contrast. Measuring 25 cm in width and 18 cm in height, the Reade PM is the perfect size for carrying your daily essentials with style. The interior is spacious and lined with a durable tonal fabric, making it as practical as it is fashionable. With its 10 cm handle drop, it is ideal for an elegant hand or crook-of-the-arm carry, making it an excellent accessory for both sophisticated daytime outfits and evening events.
