My mother is a handbag queen and every time she goes to Paris, her first stop is Louis Vuitton. She came home loving this bag wore it for a long while, (even though she complained that it was very stiff and that the zipper in particular was a little tough) and then turned to me and said “you can have this!!” so I wore it around the world for a couple of years and even though the zipper is still quite stiff? It’s light As a feather, has very little wear on it and is still in great shape. I cannot find my dust cover and because of the zipper issue I’m getting rid of it for a steal. I promise she’s as authentic as the day she was born.
