Monogram Canvas · Natural Vachetta Leather
Model M51145 · 2001
A distinctive vintage Louis Vuitton shoulder bag from the iconic Monogram collection.
Crafted in Louis Vuitton's signature Monogram coated canvas and finished with natural vachetta leather, the Looping GM is instantly recognisable by its beautifully curved single shoulder handle and elegant, elongated silhouette.
Designed to sit comfortably on the shoulder, the generous GM size offers excellent everyday capacity while retaining a streamlined profile. The interior is finished in soft Alcantara with useful internal compartments, including a zipped pocket.
Dating from 2001, this is a wonderful example of an early-2000s Louis Vuitton design — an increasingly desirable era for collectors of vintage pieces.

CONDITION — VERY GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION
Beautifully presented overall, with the Monogram canvas remaining in very good condition and the bag retaining its distinctive structured silhouette.
The natural vachetta leather has developed a warm honey patina, with signs of previous use and age to the shoulder handle and leather trim. The gold-tone hardware displays light surface wear and tarnishing consistent with a vintage piece.
Please note: there is a small area of cracking/splitting to the leather loop surrounding the interior D-ring, together with a small area of pen marking to the light-coloured Alcantara lining. Both areas have been photographed clearly and are reflected in the condition grading and price.
There is also light age-related wear to the lower piping and edges.
The bag remains fully usable and presents particularly well when worn.
Please review all photographs carefully, particularly the close-up photographs of the interior leather loop, lining and lower edges, as these form an important part of the condition description.
