A friend of mine in high school had a mono LV wallet and purse.
This was back in the 80's - so it was quite unusual at the time.
I had no idea what LV was, but I just thought they were cool looking.
The summer after I graduated, I found a mono bucket bag at a consignment shop in La Jolla.
It was $25!
I wore that purse out. I took it to the LV shop for repairs, but they said the damage is too extensive to fix. Someday, I might take it to a cobbler to see if anything can be done to fix it.
