This Swan started out as an authentic Louis Vuitton Damier Poche Toilette 26.  This style is one of my FAVES, simple and classic!!!  This bag is the perfect crossbody, holding plenty of things, and comes in at 10" wide by 7" tall and about 2" deep.  

The bag's zipper was not functioning, so I removed it.  The interior Vuittonite was in terrible shape as well, so I removed it, leaving the plain clean canvas.  The date code was unreadable.  The exterior canvas is in really good shape. but does show some wear (after all, it IS vintage!!).  The top edges have been stitched by hand with a chocolate colored leather lace.  I added brass eyelets to the corners and beautiful brass rings to hold the 47" matching brown leather adjustable crossbody strap and the pretty gold chain on the front. I’ve included a super functional insert to keep your goodies organized and to keep the bag’s structure. I've also added a gold magnetic button snap that will keep your goodies secure.   Both straps are removable, so that you can carry it any way you please!!!  

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