Amazone Shoulder Bag (PM)

I took this bag with me during my travel to Kota Kinabalu. It is a very handy and compact little bag that I can put some essentials and go out for a nice sightseeing walk. Pic 3 is an retired Elise matching wallet that I use to put some foreign notes and coins. Aren't they nice?

Today I'd like to introduce you three vintage LV bags I bought over the years for my aunt. They are (from left to right): Saint-Germain shoulder bag, Vavin GM and Cartouchiere shoulder bag. Although they all have been discontinued from production ages ago, they are still very chic and modern to carry. Love'em!

Monogram Amazone GM - Vintage

Happy Chinese New Year to all my blog fans! It's been a while since I last updated my blog as I've been busy working, traveling and spending time with my family. Today I present to you my vintage Amazone GM bag. I took this bag with me during my holiday travel last Christmas. The above photos were taken in my hotel room then.

This bag has been discontinued since late 80s and it is now considered quite a rare find. There are two compartments and you can store a 15" notebook in the larger compartment while still have enough space to put your everyday belongings.

It is a shame that LV does not produce this size anymore (only the smallest size still available) because it is indeed a very practical shoulder bag for everyday use.

Vail Blanket Fashion Show Tote (Super RARE)

First seen in the Men's F/W fashion show in 2006, this bag was named "Vail Blanket" cabas. Sometimes you have to wonder why LV never put this pattern / color to actual production. Instead only the gray/blue and red/black pattern were produced and released. You can check out deluxeduck's journal for more info.

Anyway, I am fortunate enough to own one of these rare founds and it is certainly my top 5 favorite LV bags of all time.

Monogram Evasion Carryall Bag

This Evasion bag is a perfect bag for gym or a short weekend trip. It has a nice compartment to put a pair of extra shoes and spacious enough to pack a few clothes.

Sonan Sachoche MM Messenger Bag

First seen in Men's S/S 2007 show collection, this one-of-a-kind bag is made of Kangaroo skin leather. If you look closer to the pics, you will be surprised by the depth and amount of details LV paid attention to.  This beautiful "piece-of-art" stands top of my favorite list because it is so practical that you can carry it as a messenger bag or use it as a tote bag. What's more, you can even transform it to a small shoulder bag (as shown above) by folding it according to the instructions shown in the care booklet. 

Astrakhan Messenger - Ultra Rare

This is an ultra rare Astrakhan messager released in 2005 men's fashion show exclusively for VIPs only. It is made from luxurious Astrakhan and Nutria Fur and is definitely a nice complement to my other Astrakhan Carryall here.
