Vintage Louis Vuitton Speedy Handbag by TFLC

This is a vintage LV handbag made by The French Luggage Company (TFLC). Measures approx 11” long and 8” tall not including handles. From 1976, TFLC worked with Louis Vuitton for almost 30 years, manufacturing bags under a special license. The bags were all made and sold in the US in high-end department stores. Here are some differences with Louis Vuitton bags by TFLC: 👉No date codes 👉Label is made of Tyvek and easy to remove 👉An explanation that it was made under a special license in the US (“Manufactured by the french co, USA, under special license”) 👉Hardware is usually plated nickel and features no logos or debossing 👉Zipper pulls are by Talon or Eclair and don’t feature the LV logo 👉Coated leather instead of Vachetta leather 👉Leather oval patches are stitched onto all bags 👉Speedys by TFLC have a break in the canvas along the bottom and the monogram/LVs will be the right way up on both sides of the bag. This bag is in good vintage shape. There is some staining on the interior, pictured. There is also a faint pen mark on an exterior leather patch. Condition is fully documented in photos. Would make a great gift for Christmas or Hanukkah!
