Description & history
A Louis Vuitton Drouot in Monogram canvas · date code VI****, 1998 · made in France · even caramel Vachetta patina · adjustable shoulder strap · 25 × 22 × 11 cm · grade B+.
The Drouot is one of those Louis Vuitton models that were never flashy best-sellers but which connoisseurs of the house immediately recognize as a piece of character. Its structured silhouette, compact size, and adjustable shoulder strap make it a crossbody bag ahead of its time — practical, elegant, discreet. Named after Rue Drouot, a mecca for Parisian auctions, it carries in its very name the idea of a rare and desirable piece. Manufactured in France in 1998, this example has developed a beautiful, even caramel Vachetta patina on all its trimmings — strips, piping, handle — the result of elegant aging and careful maintenance over more than twenty years.
Good overall condition — clean and undamaged canvas, slightly rubbed corners, light marks under the bag, clean interior without stains or odors, light signs of prior use consistent with age — documented in photos. Comes with Louis Vuitton dustbag and RARR Vintage certificate of authenticity.
