Louis Vuitton Montaigne MM in Monogram Empreinte Dahlia

This is a 100% authentic Louis Vuitton Montaigne MM in Monogram Empreinte Dahlia Pink with Shiny Golden Hardware.

A classic, tri-section shoulder bag with a curvy, tapering shape and gently structured silhouette, this stunning medium sized tote is crafted from a thick yet supple, monogram embossed calfskin in a deeply saturated, rich pink shade. 

A chameleon of a colour, its intensity changes in the light from a vibrant, bold peonie-pink to a more subdued pivoine.

Practical as well as pretty, it's light for size with a snap clip closure to the top and a padlockable, central zipped section.

The ideal capacity when you need to carry just that little bit more....not large enough for A4 files, but perfect for notebooks, small tech and all your everyday requirements.

"Named for the most elegant avenue in Paris, the Montaigne MM handbag is both chic and impeccably functional. Made from Monogram Empreinte leather, this model is an ideal business bag: its smartly designed interior is fitted with multiple pockets and compartments. Two top handles and a removable shoulder strap offer several chic carry styles." LV.com

 Please review all of the additional photos below, as contain close-up details of condition that may not be visible in the Gallery above. Thank you.

Condition -  Very Good

Details -

 Gently softened from use, (it's a naturally pliable design but the thickness of the hide ensures it doesn't slouch,) the form is still very good with some mild, vertical creases to the front LH side.

Monogram motifs are nicely precise, though not as deeply embossed as when new, and without very close inspection the leather looks to be in an Excellent condition throughout.

Colour consistent, without visible wear to the base's corners, all stitching is tight and hardware is bright. As is inevitable with use, there is a little silvery paling to the apex of the base feet, very slight surface scratches to the internal top clip, the shoulder straps end clips and the flat, embossed rivets. The central section's zip headers, (the parts that move along the teeth,) display minor dulling and the zip pulls display light contact scratches, though all are nowhere near as visible as the photos make them it appear. 

Only when reviewing in detail can you note a trio of light, diagonal scratches to the hide on the front, lower RH side, (near the corner,) an extremely light surface graze to the front, LH side, (near the corner,) and a rub to the RH side's vertical edge. Shown in close up detail in the photos provided, they are completely unnoticable in use.

Top handles are well shaped with a couple of slightly darkened top stitches, the belted buckle holder is excellent and the tapering shoulder strap flat and without creasing.

Please note the inking (or bonding, which is the black edge sealant) feels a little soft on both the top handles and the shoulder strap. It is not sticky, deteriorating or melting, however if you apply the pressure of a fingernail it will leave a mark, (see photo provided of side of top handle.) This is likely to be due to the current high temperatures. (28 degrees here today,) rather than the piece suffering from a faulty inking batch.

Lined in pristine, crisp, striped textile with three slip pockets and lockable, zipped mid section. There is a linear scratch to the central sections leather panel and a small fingernail scuff, as shown.
