Identify my mom's vintage bag

[MooMooVT]

Hi all -

I just came back from visiting my mom and found one of her (vintage?) Louis bags. Other than some dust from sitting in her closet (WITHOUT A DUST COVER ) it's in amazing shape.

But this style - I've never seen it. I've only been collecting Louis for about 6 years but I've never seen this bag. Even here on all the various threads - this bag remains a mystery. I'm not concerned about autenticity - my mom would only ever by from the Louis site, Saks, or a LV store.

Anyone have any thoughts? Sorry I couldn't get more pics.

This bag resembles the 2004 LV Gracie MM which was released in White and Black Multicolore Monogram, as well as different shades (red, green, black, plum) in a Velour material with Alligator trim. A smaller velours edition was also released called the Velours Irvine.

Oh wow - it really does resemble the Gracie. I'll start to dive down that rabbit hole. Thank you!

It certainly is far from a perfect correspondence with the Gracie. I'd be looking into paid authentication.
