Vintage Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires Unboxing

Vintage Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires Unboxing

Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel! Today, I'm incredibly excited because I have a vintage unboxing for you. I'll be unboxing a new Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires. If you're familiar with my channel, you know that I collect Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires, and this will be my 11th piece!

The Purchase

I bought this bag on eBay for $ 350, which is quite a bargain considering that these bags typically range from $ 800 to $ 1,200. However, I am a bit nervous about its condition and the way it was shipped. The seller had a good reputation and positive feedback, but the images were dark, and the bag looked somewhat dirty. But for $ 350, I decided it was worth the risk.

Initial Impressions

The bag was shipped in a bubble poly mailer and only had one piece of tape sealing it. When I first opened the package, I was relieved to find that there were no unpleasant odors. The bag even looked better than I expected, with the graphics being bright and vivid.

The Condition

However, there are some issues:

1. The top of the circle area on the bag seemed almost chewed up.
2. There was some discoloration on the leather piping, as mentioned in the listing.
3. Minor interior spots that didn't appear to be significant.

Despite these flaws, the rest of the bag was in pretty good shape. I'll put up some pictures to show these issues more clearly.

Collaboration Background

This bag is part of a collaboration with British illustrator and designer Julie Verhoeven, which debuted in the Spring/Summer 2002 runway show. Julie has worked with various high-end brands like Versace and Marc Jacobs, and she has a unique style that involves a lot of patchwork and fantasy elements. This particular collection was named "Contes de Fées," which means fairy tales in French.

My Thoughts

I'm torn about keeping this bag. While the damage is disappointing, especially for such a collectable piece, the price was reasonable. The imperfections aren't too noticeable from a distance, and the rest of the bag is in decent shape. I might try to clean it up and see if I can make the damage less noticeable.

Your Opinion

Now, I'm looking for your input. For $ 350, would you keep a bag with some damaged areas like this one, or would you try to return it? I'm debating it myself and would love to hear what you think!

Thanks so much for watching and reading. I look forward to your comments and suggestions. I'll see you in the next video!
