Monogram Sully Mm Appraisal

Louis Vuitton Sully MM

The item is a Louis Vuitton Sully MM shoulder bag, identifiable by its distinctive hobo-like shape and the central gold-tone plaque with the 'Louis Vuitton Inventeur' inscription and a shield logo. Its physical characteristics include the classic Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas, which is a dark brown coated canvas featuring the iconic interlocking LV initials, quatrefoils, and flowers in lighter brown and tan tones. The trim and piping are made of natural Vachetta leather, which is still relatively light in color, indicating it has not developed a deep patina yet, though small areas show initial darkening from handling, particularly near the strap attachments and along the piping seams. The bag features pleating details on the front, which create a subtle rounded silhouette. The shoulder strap is also Vachetta leather, attached to the main body of the bag by brass-tone hardware, including prominent D-rings and grommets that appear to be in good condition with minor surface wear consistent with use. A small Vachetta leather strap with a brass-tone buckle is visible near the shoulder strap attachment, possibly for cinching or decorative purposes. The interior lining is not visible, but the overall construction appears sturdy and well-made with precise stitching. There are no immediate signs of significant damage like tears or deep scratches on the canvas, though some creasing is present from storage or normal use. The condition of the gold-tone hardware on the front plaque appears good, with some potential light scratching that is typical with a pre-owned item. Based on its design elements, particularly the 'Inventeur' plaque, this style likely dates from the late 2000s to early 2010s. The quality indicates a genuine Louis Vuitton product, reflecting high-end craftsmanship.
