I bought this vintage Louis Vuitton clutch several years back while shopping in New York’s East Village (shortly after getting word of a promotion at work and therefore treating myself with this little splurge) and have recently re-fallen in love with it for its charm and ability to go with pretty much everything.

The vintage store owner was able to tell me it was made in the 80s (comme moi, no less :)). I think one of the best features is the retractable handle. So many people have told me they have never seen a Louis like this and that’s precisely why I bought it and have come to love it.

p.s. my friend Tara featured it in a blog post of hers over on The Wonder Girl this past summer. Twas right about the same time I started to pull it out of its duster a bit more.
