Authentic Louis Vuitton GM Bucket Bag

This is a beautiful Guaranteed Authentic Louis Vuitton Monogram GM Bucket Bag. I am the original owner and it was purchased in 1995. Approx. 14” x 10 ½”. The exterior is in fantastic shape with just small minimal wear on some of the piping at the top, very small light/faint watermarks, and 1 small crack in the strap (see last 5 pics). Otherwise, the straps are in fantastic shape with no curling at the edges. The bottom of the bag is also in fantastic shape. As many of these Louis Vuitton GM bucket bags' interior lining gets cracked and sticky for some reason (which is frustrating and well before their use time), mine did as well. Assuming I’d never sell the bag, I elected to cut out the interior to be able to use the bag. The bag has Louis Vuitton engraved grommets markings under each strap buckle. While using the bag without the lining never bothered me, there is a seller on Poshmark selling an authentic LV GM Bucket Bag lining that could easily be sewn back in by your local leathersmith. Additionally, LV does do lining replacements which, while costly, could still be another viable option. Either way, the bag's condition is excellent otherwise and if you don’t mind it without the lining is a fantastic price point for this bag's quality.
