Description from the seller
Step into the world of traditional Parisian prestige and archival French luxury with this authentic Louis Vuitton Mabillon backpack. Masterfully crafted in France during the 1990s, this architectural creation is rendered in Louis Vuitton's signature wave-textured Epi leather in deep Noir black. Accentuated by polished gold-tone hardware and smooth leather shoulder straps, it embodies the timeless sophistication, structural elegance, and minimalist allure of historic European leathercraft.
Offering a supreme balance of archival refinement and daily hands-free practical utility, this iconic city backpack delivers exceptional performance. The slim adjustable leather shoulder straps rest comfortably over both shoulders, as gracefully demonstrated on the boutique mannequin, making it an ideal companion for urban commuting, casual city travel, and elevated daily carry. The secure rear zipper opening leads to a microfiber-lined main interior compartment designed to hold your smartphone, wallet, keys, and cosmetics, while the back exterior zip pocket provides additional storage. Backed by generations of world-renowned European artisan quality, this genuine Louis Vuitton piece stands as an enduring luxury heritage investment.

The exterior black Epi leather body and leather shoulder straps remain in good pre-owned condition, maintaining their deep black color and distinct wave texture.

The main interior compartment is clean and fully function-ready; please note minor standard vintage lining wear/peeling inside the small secondary slip pocket as is typical for Epi pieces of this era (serial/date code is unreadable due to age).
