This Vachetta Leather was taken off of my LV Luco. I had new leather straps put on my bag so that I could carry my books and computer in the bag. The straps and pieces have a beautiful patina if you are looking for some authentic LV leather to repair a part of your bag. Please note that each piece is CUT at the end in order have removed it from my hardware. These can't be used "as is" but would require some leather sewing to use again on a bag.
