Louis Vuitton Monogram Petit Bucket Bag - Upcycle or Project Bag

This LV Bucket Bag is in fair condition. The inside is clean. However, the lining is starting to peel around the top. There is a spot (as pictured) where the vachetta is broken. There is one spot near the bottom where the previous owner removed a heat stamp (pictured). It is difficult to see unless you're looking very closely. There is also a dark spot on the vachetta near the bottom. The original handles are included with the bag. My plan was to replace them. The handles have dark spots on them, and the leather is a little hard in some spots. Also, in one spot on the one handle, the leather is completely broken apart (as pictured). The stitching is the only thing holding the handle together. If you replace the handles of this bag, it could easily be revived. It was in my project pile, but since my and my husband's health issues have progressed, I'm not sure I'll have the time to get to my projects anytime soon and we'd like to get some of this stuff cleared out. If you're a picky buyer or looking for perfection, THIS IS NOT THE BAG TO BUY. If you're looking for an inexpensive bag that you can revive, then this may be your bag. The bag is being sold as it is. It has its issues, but they can be remedied pretty easily. I'm listing this LV bag for 525.00 so that it qualifies for authentication. I will entertain offers for less, but please don't lowball me.
