LOUIS VUITTON Epi Saint Jacques PM Tassili Yellow Tote Handbag M52279 LV

Such excellent condition is rarely seen these days, making this a prime candidate for a collection.

Product Description
Immerse yourself in the rich archival heritage and vibrant Parisian luxury of Louis Vuitton with this authentic Epi Saint Jacques PM Handbag in rare Tassili Yellow (Model M52279). Designed during Louis Vuitton's celebrated 1990s golden era, this architectural fan-shaped tote seamlessly combines durable textured Epi calfskin leather, sculptural French geometry, and practical daily carry.

Crafted from LV’s signature wave-textured Epi leather in vivid Tassili Yellow, this distinctive handbag features an iconic fan/shell silhouette, smooth leather top handles anchored with V-shaped arrow bases, a debossed LV monogram logo at the lower corner, a full-length top zipper main closure, and a soft microfiber-lined interior fitted with an organizer slip pocket. Measuring approximately 34.0 cm in top width, 24.0 cm in height, and 10.0 cm in depth, this 34 cm Saint Jacques PM tote offers a spacious interior designed to comfortably hold a tablet, long wallet, cosmetics pouch, water bottle, and daily necessities with absolute poise.

Historical Heritage & Archival Significance

The Saint Jacques Heritage: Named after the historic Place Saint-Jacques in Paris, the Saint Jacques represents one of Louis Vuitton's most sculptural and avant-garde 1990s leather designs.

Tassili Yellow & Epi Leather Craftsmanship: Introduced in 1985 as Louis Vuitton's first permanent leather line, Epi leather is vegetable-dyed and dual-tone printed to withstand weather and scratching, with Tassili Yellow remaining one of its most coveted bright colorways.

Archival Collectibility: Highly sought after by luxury vintage collectors and fashion stylists for its artistic fan silhouette, vibrant yellow patina, rigid protective oval base, and 34 cm PM proportions, this handbag represents a prized trophy of Louis Vuitton history.

Styling & Outfit Inspiration

Parisian Chic Hand Carry: Carry gracefully by the smooth leather top handles alongside a beige trench coat, crisp white shirt, and straight-leg denim for an effortless, vibrant vintage statement.

Smart Casual Executive: Style with a tailored navy blazer, silk scarf, and loafers to let the bold Tassili Yellow Epi leather and sculptural fan shape serve as a sophisticated focal point.

Minimalist City Companion: Carry as a structured day-to-night handbag, elevating monochrome dresses and tailleurs with archival French luxury and a pop of sunny color.
