Condition:

Excellent vintage condition overall. The exterior canvas remains vibrant, undamaged and the leather has developed a beautiful honey patina consistent with age. The exterior bottom is fully intact without scuffs, only with some signs of use and age-related marks on the leather trim at the corners. The interior lining is mostly pristine, only with partial detachment of the side lining, a known issue frequently encountered on Louis Vuitton travel bags from this period. Please review all photographs carefully.
