For Sale: Rare VINTAGE Pre-1980's Louis Vuitton Monogram Monceau Satchel Mini Briefcase Hand Bag with Shoulder Strap & matching Mens Wallet.

I thought I would try to sell this here since it definitely could be used by a man to hold a calculator, papers, pens, level, etc... in it. You could even store your lunch in it but I would not recommend that! 😛

Once upon a time, many years ago, Grandma B was very wealthy. Therefore grandma bought whatever the heck she wanted. Among the diamonds and pearls, Grandma B also had a beautiful collection of Louis Vuitton bags. Ahhhh the fresh smell of LV's!!!

Forward to 2014. Grandma died.

I inherited this bag along with an LV wallet...I was grateful to get this! Problem is, I will never use it. I've have had it stored for 3+ years now, thinking "Ok someday I'll use it" but... it isn't happening. My family has given me permission to sell it so I am. I can toss in the wallet with the purse with a full price offer, but the wallet definitely has some wear and tear. Wallet comes with original box and tags. Purse does not.

Bag was used once or twice for a cocktail party and then that was it. Hence why it is in such stellar condition for it's age.

‰Ð¼ Monceau M51185
‰Ð¼ Vachetta Cowhide Leather
‰Ð¼ Size: Length: 11", Height: 9" (10" if you measure up to the handle), Depth: 3", Drop: 1"
‰Ð¼ Shoulder Strap: 20"-27.5"
‰Ð¼ SUPER Vintage Condition!
‰Ð¼ Exterior condition: Beautiful! Very little signs of wear.
‰Ð¼ Corner and edges: No scuffing or discoloration visible, no exterior piping rubbed off.
‰Ð¼ Interior: Good, clean, no signs of wear.
‰Ð¼ Hardware: Hardware shows some visible small scratches. NO Rust. NO Tarnish! Clasps and Clickers Work Great!
‰Ð¼ There are 3 pouches inside the bag. This one does NOT have the mini "zipper pouch" that the newer Monceaus have, but it has the older mini non-zip pouch the vintage Monceaus had. So, there are no worries about the "sticky pouch" problem that the newer bags developed due to the zipper & glue problem.
‰Ð¼ No DATE MARK! LV's before the 1980s did not have date marks.
‰Ð¼ All of the brass is marked with the LV logo. The clasps have "Louis Vuitton" spelled out completely. NO RUST!
‰Ð¼ Bag has almost perfect semmetry: I'm impressed at how the LV's line up even on the inside front pouch! (See pic!)
‰Ð¼ The Patina has darkened to its full patina, a deep honey brown, which is it‰Ûªs final dark patinated color. It's a gorgeous, even honey color tone with no stains, discolorations, water dots, etc...Told ya grandma stored it away!
‰Ð¼ A patinated bag is proof that your bag is genuine. ‰÷¼
‰Ð¼ The leather is still tight. Bag was never used on a regular basis and so it was never "Stretched Out".
‰Ð¼ There's a little threading on the emblems stamped sewed edge due to aging. This is normal. (See LV emblem stamp pic in the pictures uploaded)
‰Ð¼ Odor: None (Duh!)

Sorry, no dust bag, box or key. Blame Grandma B not me!

My photos are with and without flash, so you can see the difference in light and dark coloring.

Comes from a smoke free, dust free, bug free, neat freak household. Grandmas home was all of the above, and then some. Mine is too. ‰÷¼

Here's my terms:
Asking $600, OBO.
If interested, contact us regarding payment. The boss is the one who handles all of that. ‰÷¼

Not sure about the hubs, but I think it would carry two maybe three cans of spray paint.

It might...but it would stretch out the bag a bit.

GOOD IDEA!! :heart_eyes:
But a man can also use this. It's one of the few "versatile unisex" Louis Vuitton bags. It could be his manipurse. Manbag? Man "whatevet it is they call it" satchel. 😎

It'd be big enough to carry around your man card......at least until they see the bag and revoke your man card. Match it up with a pair of crocs and the remainder of your dignity will leak out through the holes in the crocs.:p

Go fabulously with the Carhart Thong ensemble. Not that there is anything wrong with that look. Just doesn't work with my burly virile surveyor image.

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

I need the love...
I just found out on Saturday that my dad is dying of liver cancer. 😳 I am losing two parents within 15 months of each other. Been a wreck. Wendell is handling it a bit better but he's devastated too. We were going to make an announcement but we've been busy and in shock still. :worried:

The field crew are rebelling against the idea the Carhart thong is field wear.
