The Cygnet Crossbody - Vintage LV Monogram with Cherries

What's a baby swan called??  You guess it, a Cygnet!!  This is the smaller version of my "Swan", but she is cuter than ever and perfect for fall!!! 

This bag began as an authentic Louis Vuitton Cosmetic Pouch Bag Poche Toilette 19.  This cutie is the perfect small crossbody, coming in at  7.25" wide by 5.5" tall and about 2" deep. She'll fit most phones! The exterior canvas is in great condition and has been cleaned thoroughly. 

This bag's Vuittonite (see below) was extremely sticky, so I've removed it, leaving the bare canvas. The zipper is in such good shape, but there were some "cracks" in the canvas at the ends. I didn't want to modify her too much, so I added gold holders to the front and back which stabilizes that crack, and hides it too! I've hung a cute cherry chain on the front, but any cute chain can be swapped in. The brown leather strap is 39 inches long and not adjustable. If you need a longer strap, please reach out. 

I've also added a handy organizer to this bag which will help keep it's shape and keep your goodies organized!!! It may be removed as needed. This adorable bag may be worn crossbody or over your wrist...it is so versatile~!

Please note:  This is a vintage bag, and will show some wear.  I try to call out everything, but please make sure to look at the pictures!!  This bag will come with a BBV cotton or organza bag and will be shipped priority mail.

About Vuittonite:  Prior to 1997, Louis Vuitton lined many of its bags with a vinyl-like material known as Vuittonite. It was used (and patented) by Louis Vuitton because its resistance to water makes it easy to clean. Unfortunately, when exposed to high heat or humidity, Vuittonite begins to deteriorate and peel away from the edges of the bag. Over time, it becomes increasingly sticky, forming a residue (which, in extreme cases, is black in color) that transfers to anything placed inside the bag. If your Vuittonite is starting to get sticky, try putting some talcum powder inside, lightly coating it.  It works!!!
