Description:
Hermès’ Ebene Toile HAC 36cm is one good-looking bag! Soft, dark brown Barenia leather trims the toile that closes with the Hermès belt and palladium turn lock. Inside the matching dark brown leather lining is a zipped pocket and a slide pocket. Coming with a dustbag, but no key or clochette, there is light wear on the corners of this 2007 (K in a box) HAC. With the four and a half inch drop to the handles, it’s a very impressive handbag!
It’s no joke, we have Louis Vuitton’s The Graduate, Richard Prince’s sooo cool handbag! The coated fabric is monogram with jokes on the front, brown leather on the ends, and leather purple snakeskin printed handles with a four inch drop. The gold zipper opens to a brown fabric lining, a slide pocket, and a zipped pocket. Coming with a dustbag, there is light wear on the corners, one handle has a little wear underneath, there is a small flaw on the bottom, a bit of wear on one end buckle, and it’s a little perfume-y. A little bit slouchy and a whole lot marvelous!
Takashi Murakami’s design is what made Louis Vuitton’s Porte-Billets cc Mon Panda such a collector’s item! Brand new and never worn, the rare find comes with a box and tags. A unisex wallet, it flaps open to two long slots, a snapped section for change, one medium slot, and three credit card slots – all lined in leather. A limited edition wallet, the panda is on both sides, which doubles the fun!
Easy to read and hard to take your eyes off, Van Cleef & Arpels’ Diamond Classique Watch is 18K yellow gold with a double row of diamonds surrounding the face! In addition to the ninety-six diamonds around the white face, they put another faceted diamond, pointy end up, as the winder, which is quite cool. Swiss made, this is a quartz watch with some Roman numerals used as markers and a deployment clasp. Needing a polish, it comes with a pouch. Van Cleef is known for using the best diamonds possible and this dressy watch is a beautiful eye-catcher!
You might be thinking that Louis Vuitton’s White Mahina XS is a small bag – but, for once, you would be wrong - even with that XS at the end, it’s still a pretty big bag! The center flap closes with a gold push lock and under that is a zipper that opens to a gray fabric lining, a cell phone pocket, and a slide pocket. Coming with a dustbag and card, there is a small stain on the back. The Mahina leather is thick, squishy, slouchy, and filled with perforated LV logos. With two straps, a short one and the one that is shown that is adjustable and is shown with an eleven inch drop, ruched sides, and buckle detailing on the side, the size is good and the design of the slouchy leather couldn’t be better!
Yes, LV still makes the Louis Vuitton Monogram Hard Beauty Case and, double yes, it would be great either to use or to display! Quite heavy, even empty, I think it is made of wood covered in monogram with brass hardware on the outside and a removable case inside that is covered and lined in a washable material. Open the two flip locks on the removable case to see the three leather loops to hold bottles and the mirror inside. All the corners are reinforced with brass and the nail heads that are all around have the LV logo on the heads. The brass needs cleaning, there is tarnish around the brass studs on the leather handle, it needs to be aired out, and it comes with the dustbag and key for the front brass luggage lock. Lots of what made LV famous – all done up with intricate brass in this beauty!
David Yurman’s 18K Extra Large Curb Bracelet brings yellow gold to the forefront of the Yurman cable story! With cable and smooth links alternating around to the hidden clasp, it has a nice weight to it. It may have been worn and comes with a dustbag and the link that Yurman took out when it was sized. Chunky 18K yellow gold elegance!
