The Junco Wallet/Wristlet - Vintage Monogram in Gold

Here is another adorable Junco, this one made from an authentic Louis Vuitton Monogram Cosmetic Pouch Bag Poche Toilette 15.  It's been thoroughly cleaned and is ready for a new owner!!

This bag was in great shape, but the Vuittonite (see below) was very sticky, so I removed it, leaving the bare interior canvas.  The date code, MB0099, was removed, but it indicated it was made in France in week 09 of 2009. 

The top edge is gold leather lace which has been stitched by hand.  This bag didn't normally come with a wristlet chain, but I added a brass D-ring to the end, and attached an "LV-like" chain that's perfect for carrying.  I can switch out the chain to a longer/different one if you'd like, just message me to get options!!

This little Junco measures is L 5.9 x W 4 x D 1.5" and is perfect for throwing a few cards and cash into ... throw it in a larger bag, or carry it into the bar to give your outfit a fun flair!!

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. If your Vuittonite is starting to get sticky, try putting some talcum powder inside, lightly coating it.  It works!!!
