Vintage Louis Vuitton Pliante Clutch

This Louis Vuitton Monogram Pochette Pliante Clutch “folding clutch” was produced in 1978 & was recently cleaned, it’s in wonderful condition. All of the hardware is clean and polished and is all fully functional. The interior leather & exterior canvas have been thoroughly cleaned and polished as well. The exterior vachetta/cowhide has a very light patina. Unsnapping the front and unfolding the bag exposes a separate zipped compartment, which is also in great condition. This bag was made in France & measures 12” x 8.5” in size. Despite its age, over 45 years old, it is in remarkable condition. There are no stains, major scratches, wear on the edges, etc. The piping is intact, the leather is still in great shape, there is no chafing or stickiness and no odors. ✨Please note, this bag does not have a date code, as it was produced in 1978 & LV didn’t start using date codes until 1980-1982, however it does have a heat stamp, which was the measure of authenticity prior to the use of date codes. Also of note, LV didn’t produce & use their own zippers until the mid-1980’s, all zippers prior were produced by 3rd party suppliers - - Eclair, Talon, Robin, & Coats & Clark. This bag specifically has an Eclair zipper, please see pic provided. It has been authenticated on Ⓜ️, but Posh will also authenticate it upon purchase ✨
