Description
Model History:
Launched in the mid-2000s, the Baggy bag is part of the “Denim Monogram” line conceived by Marc Jacobs during his artistic tenure at Louis Vuitton. This line aimed to modernize the house’s image by introducing unexpected materials such as denim, while retaining the brand’s historic codes. The Baggy bag quickly gained popularity thanks to its casual-luxe aesthetic and its association with Y2K trends, which were very much in vogue at the time. Today, it remains a coveted model among vintage enthusiasts, appreciated for its hybrid character between city bag and collector’s item.
Exterior Details:
The bag is crafted in blue denim canvas with a faded effect, featuring the famous Monogram motif woven in white. The bag is finished in patinated natural leather, notably on the adjustable shoulder strap and lower reinforcements. Two front flap pockets are secured by LV-engraved gold metal clasps, while a large zipped pocket is integrated at the front. The main closure is also zipped, guaranteeing the security of the contents. Approximate dimensions are 30 cm long, 20 cm high and 9 cm deep.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with mustard-yellow microfiber, soft to the touch and contrasting elegantly with the outer denim. It features a spacious main compartment without divider, as well as a side patch pocket. The leather label “Louis Vuitton Paris – Made in France” is sewn onto the lining, confirming the model’s origin. The lining is clean and well preserved, with no major signs of wear.
Product Condition:
This Baggy bag is in very good vintage condition. The denim retains its original texture and pattern, with a slight darkening of the natural leather due to patina. Corners are lightly rubbed, but with no tears or structural defects. The jewelry shows a few micro-scratches with no major alterations to the gilding. The interior is clean, with no stains or noticeable wear.
Care instructions:
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or humidity to preserve the shine of the denim and the color of the natural leather. Clean the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and use a vegetable leather care product to maintain the cowhide parts. The bag should be stored in a fabric pouch, preferably padded, to retain its shape.
