Description
Model History:
The Beverly model follows in the footsteps of the professional bags developed by Louis Vuitton from the 80s and 90s, when the French fashion house modernized its lines in response to new urban uses. Inspired by traditional travel cases, the Beverly takes up the house’s iconic codes – Monogram canvas, natural leather and brass finishes – in a lighter version, designed for city dwellers on the move. The 90s also saw a return to sober, functional lines in luxury leather goods, giving this model a discreet yet assertive character.
Exterior Details:
Durable, waterproof Monogram canvas features floral motifs and the initials “LV” in a caramel hue on a dark brown background. The flap is trimmed in natural leather, matching the central strap that buckles with a patinated brass clasp. A slim, smooth leather shoulder strap is adjustable and fully detachable, allowing it to be carried cross-body or over the shoulder. The edges are carefully dyed and stitched, reinforcing the rectangular structure of the bag. Its dimensions make it ideal for carrying documents, a laptop or clothes.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with sueded tan cotton canvas, soft to the touch and hard-wearing. A large main compartment makes it easy to organize personal belongings, while a side zipped pocket adds secure space for smaller items. The gold-tone metal zipper glides smoothly, and the embossed “Louis Vuitton Paris – Made in France” label is clearly legible, confirming the bag’s authenticity.
Condition:
The binder is in very good condition for a 1995 model. The outer canvas is tight, with no cracks or tears. The natural leather has a uniform honey patina, with a few discreet marks of use, notably on the corners and handle. The brass of the central buckle is slightly oxidized, but remains functional and stable. The interior is clean, with no noticeable stains or structural settling.
Care instructions:
To preserve the beauty of natural leather, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to sunlight and humidity, and regularly applying a nourishing care product adapted to vegetable leathers. Monogram canvas can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. We recommend storing the binder in a dry, dust-free environment, ideally in a protective cotton cover, and filling it lightly to maintain its shape.
