Stand the Backpack on a flat surface and the design logic shows itself - the structured backpack silhouette finished in the line's signature material. The piece is finished in Monogram Empreinte Giant - Vuitton's calfskin debossed with the oversized LV monogram, which is precisely the material the line is meant to be read in. Sized with a miniaturised 7.5 by 5 by 3 inch profile, the proportion does as much work as the finish. Tres chic, in the unforced way Paris does it - the bag asks nothing of the outfit because it has already done the work. Considered acquisitions of this kind tend to be the ones that anchor a collection rather than fill it. Presented by Maison de Beaubigonne to a collector audience that already knows what to do with it.
