Louis Vuitton Vintage Petit Noé in Monogram Vachette

This is a 100% authentic Louis Vuitton Vintage Petit Noé in Monogram Vachette with Golden Brass Hardware. 

An absolute classic, this vintage bucket bag is testament to how fabulous the materials were back then.

Born in 2006 she's been used and loved but is in an incredible condition for age with many years of service yet to give.

Named the 'small,' there's plenty of space for everyday, she's super strong and a piece you'll never need to baby!

Light to carry and easy to use, carry by hand or wear on the shoulder, (or remove the strap and add in a longer cross body one as looks great worn as a messenger too. Not included.)

"Asked by a Champagne producer to develop a sturdy, stylish bag in which he could transport five bottles of bubbly, Gaston-Louis Vuitton created the iconic Noé design." LouisVuitton.com

Condition - Well Used

Details  -

Crafted from a thick, grainy canvas, the form is naturally soft sided and there are gentle creases from storage, (will even quickly with use.)

No visible wear, just the lightest rubs to the surface of the canvas at the four, base corner curves, which can only be seen with magnification.

Precise motifs, all stitching tight and entirely structurally sound, the main reason for the condition rating is due to the inevitable aging to the calfskin vachette drawstring. It has darkened and softened slightly with some general marking as shown, (see Gallery below.)

The calfskin vachette trim around the top aperture and the two side panel strips are nicely evenly honeyed, without wear.

The shoulder strap is in an excellent condition. Firm, solid and well shaped with all red edging in place and just minor surface creasing to the top area.

The calfskin vachette base panel displays four, vague imperfections, locations circled and shown in close up detail in the photos provided. These consist of a water mark to the upper LH corner area, an area of paler patina to the lower RH side and a dark smudge and linear scratch to the upper middle area.

The hardware to the embossed eyelets are dulled, though completely in keeping with the vintage charm of the piece. Buckles and D rings are excellent.

Clean interior displaying only light use, (no internal pockets on this design.)
