Louis Vuitton Montsouris Backpack in MM

Louis Vuitton Montsouris MM 


Hi everyone! I've added a louis vuitton piece to my bag collection. This is a vintage montsouris MM backpack. I managed to cop it at a reasonable price from a carousell seller. As this piece is a vintage bag, you can only purchase it from the preloved websites which I will list it down later. I've been bidding on Ebay from these Japanese sellers, but the bid always ended up being really high like USD700+ not inclusive of shipping. You might wonder if your LV bag is authentic if you were to purchase from Ebay? Fret not, most of the Ebay Japanese sellers do own a preloved luxury store in Japan. It's also a crime if they were to sell imitation goods. Most importantly, dont forget to check out the seller ratings and reviews before buying from them!

The monogram print on the back is much more brighter as compared to the front based on the first picture. I guess its due to the sun exposure and the age of this bag? The patina leather is quite even. It has a clean interior and not so visible water marks on the bottom of the bag. Thus, this is a good buy! :D 




There are 3 different sizes of this bag. It comes in PM, MM and GM. It's easy to differentiate between these 3 bags. PM size would come with additional leather handle at the back. MM size would have the golden ring handle. The straps of the GM size would be fabric whereas the MM and PM size are vachetta straps.  


This bag is made in france on February, 2000. The last production of this bag is 2007.



It can store my long wallet and umbrella. It's quite spacious too!




Many users said that they cant store anything in the front pocket as it is too small. But I managed to fit a small packet of wet tissue, hand sanitiser and a lipstick. 


The size of the MM Montsouris
Length: 26cm
Width: 12cm
Height: 28cm

It cant fit an A4 size. But it can fit my daily necessities that I carry everyday.

April favourites 2020

Hello yall! Today I'm going to share my favourites for the month of April. Is anyone the same as me? When you work from home, but you ended up shopping online due to the great deals? Without further ado, drum roll to my number 1 favourite which is...


Givenchy Antigona (small, calfskin leather) 


Retail for €1650 - From Portugal


I managed to cop this bag from Farfetch. I have been eyeing this bag for ages! The small antigona cost SGD2990 at Marina Bay Sands Shoppes. The MBS sales assistant told me that the designer for Givenchy has changed so the iconic antigona model would no longer be available once they clear the stocks. 
Note: Do try it in store if you are not sure if you want to purchase the small or medium size. 


This bag was shipped from a boutique in Portugal. The boutique is called Fashionclinic which sell many luxurious brands. Guess what? I copped it at a 40% discount! I paid SGD1814 including shipping. My boyfriend knew how much I love it because he always complained that I walked into Givenchy Store just to try on the bag without purchasing it. Finally this baby is in my hands! 


The reason why I opted for the calfskin leather because I love how glossy it looks. Though it is scratch proof, it wont lose it's shape as the time pass. Personally, I feel that this bag match with different styles. For example, edgy/cool/classy/basic. Whereas the goatskin leather look more of a casual everyday style. The pro of the goatskin leather is that it's scratch resistant. So for those who don't want to baby their bag, opt for the goatskin! For discount wise, calfskin leather rarely go on sale. So I thought this is a good opportunity to cop the bag!
