The Loon - Vintage Monogram Mini Backpack in Black

This Loon was created from an authentic Louis Vuitton Backpack Mini Montsouris backpack that's been saved and is prettier than ever!  The vachetta bottom had torn from the bag, so I had to remove it and replace it with another piece of authentic monogram.  The original vachetta bottom is securely glued to the inside of the bottom monogram piece to give it more substance.  Then I hand stitched it all back together.  I also hand stitched the top of the bag to coordinate with the bottom and added a matching braided cinch strap. It looks fabulous now!!! This is a smaller bag, coming in at W8 x H8 x D4".  

The bag's exterior canvas is in great shape!  The vachetta leather straps were not in good shape, so I've replaced them with new black leather ones. They can be easily adjusted to whatever size you desire.  You can also remove the straps and carry it by the tiny handle!!  The vachetta on the handle and the front closure does have small cracks in it, but still has TONS of wear left (please see pictures).  They have been dyed black to match the trim.  The brass eyelets have been polished and are beautiful!  The canvas liner inside is clean!  

This bag has a date code of SP0998 which indicates it was produced in France in September of 1998.  She's got a ton of life left in her and is ready for a new owner!!

A video of this bag has been added to my Instagram stores, and will be saved in the highlights called The Loon!
