The Noé bucket bag was originally designed in 1932. A Champagne producer asked Gaston-Louis Vuitton to develop a sturdy, stylish bag in which he could transport five bottles of bubbly. Made in the iconic Louis Vuitton Epi Leather and with a drawstring leather closure. The idea of Epi leather was first born in 1920 when Georges Vuitton and his son Gaston-Louis had the idea to print a design on more resistant fabric. Sophisticated, robust, and scratch-resistant, Epi leather is a grained leather printed in two batches that allows for a difference in color between the deeper layer and the surface layer. Its texture is made to look like moving fields of wheat under the sun.
The leather strap adjusts in length for comfortable shoulder wear. The bag is lined with black suede.
This bag is in very good vintage condition, please view all photos before buying. The lining inside is in very good condition, rare for a bag of this age.
