This beautiful bag was created from an authentic Louis Vuitton Saint Tropez America's Cup Drawstring Noe Bucket. All are individually numbered, this one being 3158! I've changed it a bit to make it more functional!
This bag is a gorgeous cayenne color, and will be perfect for fall!! The canvas is in great condition, but there is one small stain on the back that I couldn't get out. The vachetta base had seen better days, so I've dyed it a darker brown and conditioned it. There is some cracking that is barely noticeable now (see pics). I removed several inches from the top of the bag, knocking it down from about 17" to 9" and then hand braided the top in a rich brown leather that now matches the vachetta. I added brass eyelets that hold the brass O-rings and a rope-like brass chain (kind of nautical, right??!!). The 6-strand brown braided leather strap is the perfect addition to this bag, making it an awesome crossbody!
This is a big bag that measures 11″ W x 9″ H x 7″ D. The large original interior zippered pocket has been sewn back in. I didn't add a magnetic button snap, but can do that easily if you desire, just let me know after purchase!
For a video review of this bag, please see my IG/FB stories, or the highlight bubble called "The Albatross."
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!!
