The Junco Crossbody Bag - Vintage Monogram in Black Fringe
Here is another Junco, this one is made from an authentic Louis Vuitton Monogram 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. The zipper is fully functional. The canvas is clean, however the edges and corners do show a tiny bit of wear. I've dyed the leather end tabs black and have added black braided leather fringe to the front of the bag, giving it a fun flair. To the top of the fringe, I've added an authentic vintage gold and black button. Where else are you going to get a bag like this??
I've also added brass D-rings to the back and attached a gorgeous black leather and gold chain that is 47", thereby making this the cutest "running to the store bag" ever!!
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: These are vintage bags, 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.
