What's a baby swan called??  You guess it, a Cygnet!!  This is a smaller swan, and it is  cuter than all heck!!! 

This bag started out as an Louis Vuitton Cosmetic Pouch Bag Poche Toilette 19.  This one is the perfect small crossbody, coming in at  7.5" wide by 6" tall and about 2" deep.  

This bag's Vuittonite (see below) was extremely sticky, so I've scrubbed it out, leaving a soft flannel interior.  I tried to leave the date code, but it is definitely smudged.  The date code is NO0968, which indicates it was made in France in June of 1998.  The top edge is vachetta leather lace which has been stitched by hand, and should patina with wear.  The zipper works great! I've added brass D-rings to the sides to attach the adjustable vachetta leather strap (41-49").  It is perfect to wear crossbody and it looks JUST like an LV strap!!

I can add a decorative concho to the front for free if you'd like me to, just reach out immediately following your purchase!

About Vuittonite:  Prior to 1997, Louis Vuitton lined many of its bags with a vinyl-like material known as Vuittonite. It was used (and patented) by Louis Vuitton because its resistance to water makes it easy to clean. Unfortunately, when exposed to high heat or humidity, Vuittonite begins to deteriorate and peel away from the edges of the bag. Over time, it becomes increasingly sticky, forming a residue (which, in extreme cases, is black in color) that transfers to anything placed inside the bag. If your Vuittonite is starting to get sticky, try putting some talcum powder inside, lightly coating it.  It works!!!
