Louis Vuitton Montsouris Backpack in GM

Yay to scoring another good deal on Ebay. I was so unexpected to win the bid at the very last second. Can you guess what I bought this time round? It's a Louis Vuitton Montsouris backpack in GM. 

I know you guys must be thinking why did I buy another montsouris in GM when I had the MM size? That's because I've sold it as I didn't utilise the bag that much. I was just trying my luck for the montsouris GM and I didn't expect to win the bid so I'm really ecstatic! 

This is how it looks like when I'm carrying it.

Web straps

Serial code: MI1020
Made in France, Dec 2000

Dimension of the bag:

Length: 31cm

Height: 36cm

Width: 12cm

If you ask me to choose between the MM and GM size, I would definitely choose the GM size as I can store much more stuffs in it. It can fit a 13 inch MacBook Pro and an A4 size paper. The web straps are definitely much more comfortable than the leather straps. Although the exterior condition of the GM bag isn't as good as compared to the MM bag, I can send it to the leather shop to have the whole vachetta leather replace. Thankfully the interior condition of the bag is great. No odour smell and no stain seen. For the price I paid, I really can't complain much.

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.
