Identify This LV

Please help me identify this vintage LV. I have never seen this before. No logo inside but there an R stamped. Look very authentic since the flap open very sophisticate. I do not know how the strap hook to the bag. Please help: the official name of the bag and how the leather strap attach to the ring. Thank you

Hi ladies (and randomly lurking gents), I came across this bag at a consignment store. It's from 2002 and looked authentic to me but I didn't know what style it was. Could anyone identify it please?

It has red alcantara lining, a main compartment with a zip and 2 parts on the sides to put things in. Also has a crossbody strap and the handles to hook them to.

It had a smell of cigarettes though, do you guys think that will fade from the alcantara lining...?

Here are some pics I took. Thank you so much!

Good find at a consignment store!

Yup. Was certainly around 2005/2006 but not sure precisely what year it was discontinued. It was/is a very functional bag.

Thanks for identifying it for me! Its an adjustable strap too and $ >700 which sounds reasonable to me...

Do you by any chance know what it retailed for? I couldn't take more pics so I can't post it on the authentication board. My gut tells me its authentic though and I'm hoping my experience with LV bags will suffice in this case lol. Besides I can return it if its not authentic accdg to the owner.

Whilst that particular dustbag is fake, the older felt dustbags did just have the "LV" logo on them. It's the newer linen-type dustbags that have "LOUIS VUITTON" on them.

Do you know when they switched over? I bought a preloved bag from 1995 on ebay (authed here) and while i am confident that the bag is real, i am questioning the dustbag.

Tia!

Edit: nvm, just found a thread. It looks like mine is legit after all! Here is the link for those doing research: http://forum.purseblog.com/louis-vuitton-reference-library/when-did-dust-bags-change-139440.html

Seems a little pricey to me. Retail in 2004 was 1040 (assuming you are in the US that is).
