When I was a shoemaker, I made a handmade, hand-stitched school bag for my second son using Louis Vuitton's vachetta leather. He used it for 10 years, 6 years of elementary school and 4 years of university, so it has developed a wonderful patina. It's truly a testament to Louis Vuitton. Vachetta leather changes to a caramel color with exposure to sunlight due to its natural oils. Photo 18 shows the color before exposure to sunlight. My second son was frail, so I put reinforcements in various places to keep the bag's shape. It's a school bag like a suitcase. Available for immediate purchase.
