The Swan Crossbody - Vintage LV Taiga Leather in Dark Green

• Do you want a vintage bag, but want perfection? 

• Do you NOT want your bag to scream the name brand?

• Do you want the perfect summer-to-fall transition piece?

Look no further....this one is for you.

This stunning Swan is an authentic Louis Vuitton Taiga Poche Toilette 26.  It is made in Taiga leather, which is one of Louis Vuitton's most desired leathers due to its durability.  This style is one of my FAVES!!!  This one is the perfect crossbody, holding LOTS of things, and comes in at about 9.8" wide by 8" tall and about 2" deep.  

The bag's exterior taiga leather is beautiful and the zipper is fully functional.  I've tucked the end with the LV tag inside just to lend itself to this style.  The interior was Vuittonite and was super sticky and flaky, so that layer was removed. There was no legible date code in the Vuittonite.  But don't mind the look of the interior, because I’ve included a beautiful organizer in the bag, which helps keeps its structure, and makes sure your goodies stay organized.   

Brass eyelets were added to the corners of the bag so that the brass rings could easily go through them. When the rings are folded down, the zipper is opened easily.  There are two straps included with this bag!! The longer adjustable dark green leather strap is perfect to wear crossbody (39.5-51") and blends seamlessly with the LV leather.  Or, feel free to remove it and carry the bag with the beautiful shorter gold/pearl strap that has a matching silk scarf woven into it.  I'm OBSESSED!!!  Both straps can be removed if you have one you'd prefer carrying with it.

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!!  Bags will come with a BBV dust bag, either cotton or organza.  This bag will automatically be upgraded to Priority Mail or UPS.

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!!!
