The French Company made bags under a special license for Louis Vuitton in the US from the mid 1970’s through the early 90’s to keep up with the production demands in North America.
The French Company items were made differently to the Louis Vuitton bags that we see today, this makes them incredibly sought after.
One of the different features was that French Company bags don’t have a date code like we seen in Louis Vuitton items today—
Instead, they have a tyvek (paper-like) tag sewn into the seam of the bag.
Since tyvek tags could very easily be removed, finding on intact is incredibly rare💎
The hardware is also very different from current models. It has plated nickel instead of brass and it was not embossed with the Louis Vuitton name or Logo.
The French Company did not use the natural vachetta cowhide leather that we see today, instead they used various treatments and coatings which made the leather caramel in colour and so wont patina or water mark.
The coating helped to protect the leather and ultimately made it more hardwearing.
The bags are also one of the rare exceptions to the ‘no monograms cut off’ rule in Louis Vuitton products, usually highlighted as a ‘red flag’ when trying to detect counterfeit bags, another reason why The French Company bags are so unique—
These bags are incredibly collectable and very hard to come by it this condition, so don’t miss your chance to own one; if you have any questions at all, please do reach out to me.

Aloha !
I’m actually still working on the hardware for this bag —
There is a bit of tarnishing, but fortunately the buckles for the straps come off completely, so it makes it way easier to use my Brasso to make them sparkly ✨
I am running a bit behind with my bags, but I would rather keep pushing the dates out and make sure that I have them all cleaned,conditioned and waterproofed🤓

I am so surprised that I was able to get this bag in SUCH amazing condition!
I can’t find another one that comes close from any of my sources or other platforms…
Part of me wants to keep but it would just be for sentimental value 🤦♀️LOL
I will add some more pictures later on then message you in your bundle so you can take a look 🤎

My mother has been having health issues that we’ve been tending to, and I just have not gotten caught up with my listings🤍

I do LOVE it here, don’t get me wrong, of course I do …
I moved here to take care of my mother; but I’d be lying if I didn’t say, I didn’t get nervous sometimes😅
Part of taking care of mom is earning, so I decided to use daylight to my advantage today and try to get some of these bag listings updated ☀️
