Louis Vuitton - Boulogne - Mala

Louis Vuitton Blois , 1990s (estimated).

This is a brown and beige coated canvas and cowhide leather crossbody bag from Louis Vuitton.

The Blois is a compact half-moon shaped shoulder bag defined by its curved exterior slip pocket and wrap-around zip closure. The adjustable vachetta strap has deepened to a rich honey tone, giving this piece the warm, lived-in character that collectors look for in vintage Monogram.

Condition
------------------------------------------------------------

Please review all photos carefully, as they form an integral part of this description.
All visible signs of use, wear, and any imperfections are shown in the photographs.

Observed condition details:
Exterior: The coated canvas remains supple with a clear, well-defined Monogram print, and the bag holds its rounded shape well. Soiling is present on the corners and piping in the areas shown in photos 7 and 8 (upper left images). Please examine the photographs of this area carefully.
- Interior: The main compartment is intact and usable in shape, but the leather lining shows black soiling and staining as shown in photo 15, the interior pocket shows deterioration of its lining as shown in photo 14, and the exterior pocket shows mild deterioration as shown in photo 13. Please examine the photographs of these areas carefully.
- Hardware: The gold-tone zip and fittings retain a warm, aged patina consistent with the age of the bag, with light surface scratches and wear to the plating on the zip pull as shown in photo 11. Please examine the photographs of this area carefully.
- Handles / Straps: The strap and top handle have developed a deep honey patina with an attractive depth of colour. Surface scratches, dryness and light fraying are visible along the edges and around the attachment tabs as shown in photos 11 and 12. Please examine the photographs of this area carefully.
- Stitching: The stitching is present throughout and the yellow thread remains clearly visible. Light fraying is present at some stress points near the strap tabs as shown in photos 11 and 12. Please examine the photographs of this area carefully.
- Odour: No strong or unpleasant odour was noticed at the time of listing. A faint scent typical of aged leather may be present.

The condition described above is fully reflected in the offered price, and the bag retains the shape, patina and presence that make vintage Monogram pieces so wearable.

This item is sold as-is, in the exact condition shown in the photographs.
