Louis Vuitton Globe Shopper Tote MM (2005-2006 Collection)

This item is a Louis Vuitton Globe Shopper Tote MM, a limited edition piece from the 2005-2006 Fall/Winter collection. The bag is constructed from heavy-duty black cotton canvas featuring prominent white contrast stitching and gold-tone hardware. The center features a large printed 'Louis Vuitton Trunks & Bags' medallion graphic, which lists several major global cities including Paris, Tokyo, and London, paying homage to the brand's heritage as a trunk maker. The bag features a structured tote silhouette with dual flat handles that include colorful striped canvas detailing and tan Vachetta leather accents. Notable features include a front zipper pocket with a long leather pull tab, side buckle detailing, and a press-stud expandable top. The interior is typically lined with a heritage-inspired printed fabric. Regarding condition, the canvas shows slight lint accumulation and minor fading typical of vintage cloth, while the Vachetta leather displays a light honey patina and some creasing. The screen printing remains crisp and legible. This piece represents a transition era for the house under Marc Jacobs, blending utilitarian canvas workwear aesthetics with luxury branding. The craftsmanship is evident in the heavy-duty reinforced stitching and high-quality metal components.
