Louis Vuitton Cartouchiere in Monogram Canvas
A small, basic messenger bag—I manage to be anything but rudimentary. Born in France, perhaps I have accompanied les coursiers through les arrondissements et à travers les metros. Carrying political pamphlets and diplomatic documents through every element, I have protected many secrets and hold many stories. While I will vow to protect whatever confidences you entrust me, I cannot so explicitly reveal the secrets of my past. Look at me close enough, however, and I will afford some clues. Did it begin to rain during one of my journeys, causing the stain on my leather latch? What secret scroll became infatuated with me as I carried them to their destination, so much for them to leave a kiss on the left side of my canvas flap? Small, trustworthy, I am ready for adventure—protector of your secrets along the way.
