The Junco Crossbody Bag - Vintage Damier in Brown
Here is another Junco, this one is made from an authentic Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Pochette Cosmetic. It's been thoroughly cleaned and is ready for a new owner!!
The Vuittonite (see below) was super sticky, so I scrubbed it out, leaving a soft flannel interior. It still has the LV patch and a small pocket. I did my very best to remove all the red, but some still remains. It had a musty smell, so I gave it a good bath and added some lavender oil to the interior flannel ... it smells LOVELY now. The zipper has been polished and is fully functional. The exterior canvas is clean, however there is a small amount of wear. I've added brass D-rings to the back and attached a gorgeous thin brown leather strap that is 47", thereby making this the cutest "running to the store bag" ever!! I can switch out the strap to a different one (chain or canvas) if you'd like, just message me to get options!!
This little Junco measures is L 6.75 x W 4.5 x D 2.25" and is sure to be your next favorite bag! For a video review of this bag, please see my highlight bubble called "The Junco" on IG!
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!!
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.
