Description
Model History:
Launched in 2003 under the artistic direction of Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton’s collaboration with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami marked a break with the house’s classic image. The Monogram Multicolore, available in 33 colors on a black or white background, was an immediate global success. This line, discontinued in 2015, has become a cult item among fashion lovers of the 2000s. The Pochette Accessoires, initially conceived as a bag complement, has been reinterpreted as a model in its own right, much sought-after in vintage.
Exterior Details:
The black Monogram Multicolor canvas features a bright, dense print, contrasted by natural leather trim with saddle stitching. The top edge is highlighted by a leather band adorned with small gold rivets. The thin, adjustable and removable cowhide leather shoulder strap is secured by an engraved Louis Vuitton snap hook. A gilded brass zipper completes the set. The corners and base have a semi-rigid structure, ensuring the bag stays in place.
Interior Details:
The interior of the bag is lined in soft-touch beige microfiber textile, with no compartments, leaving a simple but functional space. This format allows you to carry essentials such as your phone, cards, keys or small wallet. The discreet interior contrasts with the expressive exterior motif, creating a harmonious visual balance.
Product Condition:
The bag is in good vintage condition with visible signs of wear on the lower corners where the pattern shows rubbing. The natural leather has developed an even honey patina. The gilded metal parts are shiny, with light micro-scratches. The shoulder strap is intact, with no cracks. The interior is clean, with no stains or tears. The zipper works perfectly.
Care instructions:
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve the Monogram’s colors. Clean canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Cowhide leather requires special care: avoid damp surfaces and nourish occasionally with a suitable product. Store in its original pouch to limit rubbing and preserve its shape.
