Carried right, the Cabas Light reads as the house's working signature: the slim drawstring silhouette finished in the season's printed canvas. The piece is finished in Monogram Eclipse - Vuitton's black-and-grey reading of the house monogram, reserved for the men's line, which is precisely the material the line is meant to be read in. The 20 by 14 by 6 inch format reads as ample rather than incidental, which is precisely the point. It sits comfortably in the section of any serious wardrobe earmarked for the camera-friendly, the recognisable and the genuinely worn. These silhouettes have a way of remaining the most worn pieces in a wardrobe a decade after acquisition. Catalogued by Maison de Beaubigonne for the buyer who has already chosen.
