Authentic vintage Louis Vuitton Babylone tote, made in France in October 1995 (date code VI1905, verified against the interior "Louis Vuitton Paris — Made in France" stamp).
This is a discontinued LV style — the Babylone — known for its clean, open-top tote shape and roomy interior. Monogram coated canvas is in clean, vibrant condition with no rips, tears, or stains. Gold-tone brass hardware includes the engraved "LV" swivel clasp tab and brass zipper pull on the interior pocket, both fully functional.
Please look closely at photos before buying — full transparency on condition below.
Condition Details
• Canvas: Excellent — no cracking, peeling, or fading on the monogram exterior
• Hardware: Brass shows light age-appropriate patina, fully functional zipper and clasp
• Vachetta leather trim (straps, base, piping): Shows wear consistent with the bag's age — areas of cracking and flaking inside of the interior pockets, wear along the strap edges and base trim. This is a natural breakdown of the leather's surface over 30 years and does not affect the bag's structural use.
• Interior lining: Clean, no rips
• Straps: Sturdy, securely attached, honey patina from age
