Vintage Pre 1980's Louis Vuitton Monogram Monceau Mini Briefcase Shoulder Bag Satchel + Mens Wallet
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.
м Monceau M51185
м Vachetta Cowhide Leather
м Size: Length: 11″, Height: 9″ (10″ if you measure up to the handle), Depth: 3″, Drop: 1″
м Shoulder Strap: 20″-27.5″
м SUPER Vintage Condition!
м Exterior condition: Beautiful! Very little signs of wear.
м Corner and edges: No scuffing or discoloration visible, no exterior piping rubbed off.
м Interior: Good, clean, no signs of wear.
м Hardware: Hardware shows some visible small scratches. NO Rust. NO Tarnish! Clasps and Clickers Work Great!
м 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.
м No DATE MARK! LV’s before the 1980s did not have date marks.
м All of the brass is marked with the LV logo. The clasps have “Louis Vuitton” spelled out completely. NO RUST!
м Bag has almost perfect semmetry: I’m impressed at how the LV’s line up even on the inside front pouch! (See pic!)
м The Patina has darkened to its full patina, a deep honey brown, which is itÛªs 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!
м A patinated bag is proof that your bag is genuine. ÷¼
м The leather is still tight. Bag was never used on a regular basis and so it was never “Stretched Out”.
м 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)
м Odor: None (Duh!)Sorry, no dust bag, box or key. Blame Grandma B not me!

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
