"The Louis Vuitton Epi Leather collection was first introduced in 1985 and was created to respond to the demand for more durable leather necessary in modern travel conditions. Epi leather is dyed all the way through and has a grainy texture which can withstand any weather conditions.

Asked by a Champagne producer to develop a sturdy, stylish bag in which he could transport five bottles of bubbly, Gaston-Louis Vuitton created the iconic Noé design." LouisVuitton.com

Condition - Well Used

Details  -

The epi leather is very good, all colour consistent and without noticable wear. Corner curves are smooth, without scuffing or catches, (any white marks in the photos are purely light reflections).

A small, light surface scratch to the RH side of the rear and to the middle of the base, there is natural creasing to the form throughout but absolutely no splitting, cracking or detriment whatsoever. All shown in the Gallery above.

The drawstring shows no wear or rubbing, just the slight curving, common on this design. The movable leather peice, that holds the drawstring and the aperture in place when closed, has been replaced at some point as is a slightly different colour to the remainder of the bag, though this isn't particularly noticable unless pointed out.

All stitching is firmly in place and the interior is fully lined in entirely clean, soft gold alcantara with D ring.

The smooth leather trims are excellent and the shoulder strap is still well shaped, firm with some surface creasing. The main reason for the 'Well Used' condition categorisation is due to the wear and drying to the egding to a small area on the sides of the strap and the two loops that house the D rings, as shown.

The hardware is aged and dulled throughout, though completely in keeping with the vintage charm of the piece.

No vintage aroma, no structural issues, its a real work-horse of an LV that will go on and on for years to come.
