Classic Vintage LV garment bag. Pre-1980.

Elegant vintage Louis Vuitton garment bag. Pre-1980. Has obvious wear on hardware and leather. All zippers and buckles work. Lock works but takes a wiggle or two to release. One small flaw in leather on last picture. A pre-1980s Louis Vuitton garment bag would not have a date code or serial number because Louis Vuitton did not implement a formal date code system until the early 1980s. Authenticity for pieces from that era is determined by checking for an embossed symbol, an embossed stamp with "Louis Vuitton Paris" and the "Made in [country]" line, and by the overall craftsmanship and consistent font of the brand's markings. Better quality: The materials used in older pieces, particularly the canvas and leather, tend to be more robust and develop a rich patina over time, truly embodying the idea that some things get better with age. The meticulous attention to detail in these items is challenging to find in contemporary fast fashion. In a world of mass production, owning a piece of vintage Louis Vuitton is a testament to when luxury goods were made to last a lifetime. Louis Vuitton's rich history adds an intangible value to its vintage pieces that strikes a chord with collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike. Owning a vintage Louis Vuitton is like holding a piece of history in your hands, connecting you to the grand narrative of one of the world' most iconic luxury brands. Open to all offers!
