PURSES:

CHANEL 2013 Grey Lambskin Flap Purse – SOLD

We love the soft structure and unique color of this flap purse from Chanel’s 2013 season.  Crafted out of a distressed lambskin leather in a dusty blue-grey tone; a unique color that will be an unexpected neutral for you all year round.  This distressed leather creates a soft and pliable material that will nestle easily right along the body without feeling too stiff.  Interior is smartly designed with an accordion style opening that gives easy access to the two main compartments, each lined in canvas with one zippered interior pocket.  The silver chain and leather strap can be worn under the shoulder with the chains doubled up, or can hang lower along the hip with a single strap.  Finished with a silver CC turn lock front clasp and quilted panels along the front flap and base of purse.  Measures 12″ [W] x 9″ [H] x 5″ [D] with a 10.5″ double strap and 19″ single strap drop.  In great condition, sold with original box.  Retailed for $3,400.  Priced at $2,400.

LOUIS VUITTON 2017 Boysenberry Patent “Tote Miroir” 

Bring a shiny jewel tone color into your wardrobe with this stunning satchel in a rich boysenberry patent leather.  Louis Vuitton has been designing purses with a more subtle branding in the past few years, and we think those designs make for a unique and luxurious statement.  The traditional brown monogram logo is used for the top handles and removable shoulder strap, creating a designer contrast to this style.  A large embossed LV rests on the purse’s front left corner and a gold medallion logo charm can tuck discretely into a pocket on right side.  Interior is accessed via a gold double zippered top and includes two brown monogram pockets and one berry canvas pocket, fully lined in canvas.  Finished with gold feet on the base to protect the bag.  Measures 12.25″ [W] x 8.5″ [H] x 5″ [D] with a 16″ strap drop.  In excellent condition, sold with original shopping bag, protective dustbag and polishing cloth.  Currently retails for $2,270.  Priced at $1,700.  

 

 

LOUIS VUITTON 1998 Black Epi Leather “Alma PM w/Strap” – SOLD

The legend of the Alma purse dates back all the way to the early 1900’s.  It’s origins date back to the era where clients started to need a larger personal purse to organize their clean and dirty linens on the long journey of Trans-Atlantic Steamer Boats.  This inspired a larger purse that had a full zippered top to keep any of your belongings discreet during this extended trip new to society.  In 1992, the Alma officially became the style we know today, and has been one of the most iconic and popular designs in the company’s history.   We are lucky to have a version crafted out of the always durable Epi leather and with the extra shoulder strap that is sold separately in retailers.  Being crafted out of this leather that holds up to any use and the shoulder strap option, makes this the ultimate version of this iconic satchel.  This purse is from 1998, but shows very little signs of wear, a true testament to the resilience of this leather.  Detailed with gold hard ware and an interior lined in grey suede with one side slit pocket.  Measures 12″ [W] x 9.5″ [W] x 6.5″ [D] with a 22″ maximum shoulder strap drop.  In excellent condition, sold with original protective dustbag, shopping bag and lock and key.  Currently retails for $2,160.  Priced at $949.  SOLD

GUCCI Black “GG Marmont Maltesse Mini Bag” – SOLD
