The Junco Crossbody - Vintage Monogram Pouch in Black
Here is another adorable Junco! This bag is made from an authentic Louis Vuitton Monogram Poche Toilette 15. It's been thoroughly cleaned and is ready for a new owner!!
This bag's exterior canvas is in great shape! The zipper pull was damaged, so I cut it off and added a gold pull. Please notice that one of the teeth in the zipper is missing (last pic), but because of where it is, it still zips fine. I've added gold D-rings to the back so that it could be converted into a cute crossbody. The hand braided black leather on the top gives it a fun flair. The interior Vuittonite (see below) was very sticky, so I cut it out, leaving the bare canvas that's clean and ready for use!!
This little Junco measures is L 5.5 x H 3.9 x D 1.6" and is perfect for putting a few small essentials in to run out for an errand or a night on the town. My iPhone 14 Pro will NOT fit in this bag. The thin leather crossbody strap is 46" long.
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!!!
