SKU: JK015-002001216019-LouisVuitton-Papillon-MonogramCanvas-Medium-GoldTone-Brown

Condition

This vintage Louis Vuitton Papillon 30 bag exhibits clear signs of its age and use, consistent with a pre-owned item from 1990. The Monogram canvas remains largely intact, retaining its iconic pattern and cylindrical shape, though minor creasing may be present. The Vachetta leather trim and handles show a deep honey patina, extensive darkening, visible scuffs, and areas of surface wear, including some cracking and flaking along the piping, particularly noticeable near the zipper ends. The slender leather handles also display significant discoloration and signs of repeated handling. The gold-tone hardware, including the zipper and handle rings, shows noticeable tarnishing, discoloration, and some plating loss, typical for a bag of this vintage. The zipper pull, embossed with the LV logo, also reflects this wear. The interior lining, made of a brown cross-grain leather, appears generally clean with some light scratches and marks from use.

Exterior

Crafted from durable Louis Vuitton Monogram coated canvas, featuring the iconic interlocking LVs, flowers, and quatrefoils. The bag maintains its distinctive cylindrical silhouette. It is accented with natural Vachetta leather trim and piping, which has developed a deep, aged honey patina. Two slender Vachetta leather top handles are attached to the body via gold-tone hardware rings.

Hardware

The bag features gold-tone brass hardware, including a full-length zipper closure with an LV-embossed zipper pull. The hardware exhibits tarnishing, discoloration, and some areas of plating loss, consistent with the bag's vintage status.

Interior

The interior is lined with a rich brown cross-grain leather, forming a single, spacious cylindrical compartment. It appears to be clean with minimal signs of wear such as light scratches and superficial marks.
