Fold-over / Open-style; no mechanical clasp visible on this variant, relying on the structural fold of the canvas.
Strap & Handle Details
N/A; This is a hand-held small leather good intended to be carried inside a larger bag or pocket.
Craftsmanship Details
High-quality edge painting (glazing) protects the canvas layers; high stitch count per inch ensures the seams do not pull under tension; alignment of the pattern is perfectly centered on the vertical axis.
Authentication Indicators

Origin & Manufacturing

Age Estimate
Circa 1990s - early 2000s; The texture of the canvas grain and the specific olive-brown hue of the stitching suggests a vintage production era.

Value Estimate
$200 - $450 USD; Values vary based on the presence of the original date code and whether the interior leather is peeling or 'sticky' (a common vintage LV issue).
Care & Maintenance
