The Cygnet Crossbody - Vintage Monogram in Chocolate
What's a baby swan called?? You guess it, a Cygnet!! This is a smaller swan, and it is cuter than all heck!!!
This bag started out as an authentic Louis Vuitton Cosmetic Pouch Bag Poche Toilette 19. This one is the perfect small crossbody, coming in at 7.25" wide by 6" tall and about 2" deep. The exterior canvas is in good condition and has been cleaned thoroughly.
This bag's Vuittonite (see below) was extremely sticky, so I've scrubbed it out, leaving a soft flannel interior. The top edges of the bag have been stitched by hand with a whiskey colored leather lace. The zipper works great! I've added brass D-rings to the back to attach the matching chocolate brown leather strap that is 44” long. It is perfect to wear crossbody.
I've also included a small organizer inside the bag that will help keep the bag's shape and keep your goodies organized. The organizer can be removed.
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!! This bag will come with a cotton or organza bag and will be shipped priority mail.
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!!!
