Closure Type
Hidden magnetic leather tab closure at the top center for easy access and security.
Strap & Handle Details
Flat, wide leather shoulder strap designed to sit comfortably on the shoulder without slipping. The strap is fixed to the bag via gold-tone rings.
Craftsmanship Details
Precise mechanical stitching with 7-8 stitches per inch, heat-stamped logos on leather tabs, and high-quality edge glazing on the shoulder strap.
Authentication Indicators
Alignment of the Damier squares at the seams, specific 'Louis Vuitton Paris' logo placement on specific squares, and the quality of the gold-tone plating on rings.
Origin & Manufacturing
Made in France, Spain, or USA. Produced in LVMH-standard factories using industrial-grade luxury materials.
Era & Period
Contemporary (introduced in late 2017). Designed as a successor to the Delightful and Artsy models.
Age Estimate
Circa 2018-present. The specific bag shown has retail-style protective wrapping, suggesting it is newer stock.
Cultural Significance
Represents the 'Quiet Luxury' of the canvas world; it lacks the overt flash of large logos while remaining instantly recognizable as a status symbol due to the Damier print.
Condition Notes
Appears to be in New/Pristine or boutique condition as the handle is still encased in original factory protective tissue paper/wrapping.
Value Estimate
Retail: Approx. $1,760 - $1,890. Resale: $1,400 - $1,650 depending on condition (current market trends favor the MM size).
Care & Maintenance
Clean canvas with a damp cloth. Condition the leather trim with high-quality cream. Store stuffed with acid-free tissue in a dust bag to maintain the hobo shape.
