🕊️ Background

This piece hails from the late-1990s Marc Jacobs era, when Louis Vuitton introduced the glossy Monogram Vernis (French for “varnish”) leather, symbolizing Y2K luxury with its patent shine and candy-color palette.

The Baby Blue / Glacier tone is among the rarest—produced only for a short run in 1999—making this a sought-after archival color today.

✨ Condition Notes

• Vernis leather retains strong shine with light surface scuffs typical of age.
• Natural Vachetta has developed a honey patina.
• Interior shows mild dusting but remains clean and intact.
• Zipper runs smoothly and hardware still shines brightly.

💫 Styling

The structured vertical box shape gives 90s-and-early-2000s runway energy—perfect styled crossbody, over the shoulder, or handheld for that It-Girl Paris Hilton / Carrie Bradshaw era look.

Pairs beautifully with denim, silk sets, or minimal Y2K tailoring.
