The Junco - Vintage Monogram in Whiskey Wristlet
Introducing the Junco, this bag is made from an authentic Louis Vuitton Monogram Bucket Pouch 27. It's been thoroughly cleaned and is ready for a new owner!!
This bag was in great shape, so I added some whiskey-colored leather braiding to the top to give it some flair. The inside Vuittonite (see below) was very sticky, so I scrubbed it out, leaving a soft flannel material that's clean and ready for use!! The original chain from the bucket bag was missing, so I added an authentic strap from an LV Pochette. Both LV clasps are still intact, and I love the way it looks with this bag!
This little Junco measures is L 7.75 x W 4 x D 0.75" and is perfect for throwing a few cards and cash into ... throw it in a larger bag, or carry it into the bar to give your outfit a fun flair!!
For a video review of this bag, please see my highlight bubble called "The Junco" on IG!
Please note: These are vintage bags, 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!!!
