Louis Vuitton VINTAGE French Co. 1970’s Monogram Speedy 25

Louis Vuitton Vintage French Co. 1970’s Monogram Speedy 25. Overall fair condition with darkening of handles, tears at bottom corners, and wear to zipper pull/clasp from age and use. Ink stains inside lining and red markings on outer bottom corner and top section near wear handle attaches. In the 1970's Louis Vuitton developed a relationship with a US Luggage Maker- The French Luggage Company. During a period from around 1976 through 1991, The French Company manufactured bags under a special license from Louis Vuitton. These items were made and sold in the United States. They were sold in more exclusive department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. This bag has some differences with the traditional Louis Vuitton monogram speedy. The leather is a thicker and not the easily watermarked vachetta leather of current bags. Leather band at the bottom and thick canvas keeps bag shape and not so sagging. The zipper pull is Talon and combined with Tucky lock system. No Louis Vuitton embossed on leather, no date code but there is a paper tag inside shows copyright and authority of the bag. This bag is being sold in as presented condition. Bag is nearing 50 years old and looks great for the use it’s had in that time! I don’t use bags without shoulder handles and I’d hate for it to continue sitting. Thank you for looking!
