Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Greenwich Tote in Fuchsia/Magenta
Louis Vuitton · Clothing & Accessories > Handbags > Totes
Era / Decade
Approximately 2013-2015 based on the Greenwich Vernis production timeline and fuchsia colorway availability.
Material
Monogram Vernis (patent calf leather with debossed monogram), gold-tone brass hardware, and textile lining.
Condition
Good. The exterior patent leather shows visible slouching and significant fingerprinting/scuffing. Hardware shows hairline scratches and minor gold-plating wear. Vernis is prone to color transfer and stickiness; this piece appears to have structural relaxation.
Demand Level
Moderate. Professional shoppers love Vernis, but the larger sized totes move slower than smaller 'BB' or 'PM' sized bags. The bright color is seasonal (Spring/Summer).
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$800 (Low) - $1,150 (Mid) - $1,400 (High)
Estimated Retail Value
$2,800 - $3,200 (original retail price)
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sales for similar large Vernis totes range from $750 for heavily worn items to $1,300 for excellent condition pieces with dust bags. Fashionphile currently lists similar 'Good condition' Greenwich bags at approx $1,100.
Description
Authentic Louis Vuitton Greenwich tote in stunning Magenta/Fuchsia Monogram Vernis. This oversized tote features the iconic embossed monogram pattern in a high-shine patent finish. It includes dual chain-link and leather shoulder straps, gold-tone hardware accents, and a spacious interior with zippered pockets. A sophisticated and bold statement bag for the luxury collector.
Key Features
Oversized silhouette, rare vibrant colorway, substantial gold-tone chain hardware, and high brand recognition. Vernis leather is highly sought after for its water resistance and glossy finish.
Authenticity Indicators
Indicator check: Stitching should be perfectly slanted and even (typical LV saddle stitch style). Heat stamp must have the 'R' in the circle (Registered Trademark) and a specific font where the 'O' is very round and the 'L' has a short tail. Date code should be found on a leather tab inside the pocket. Confidence: Medium-High based on hardware weight and embossing depth, but professional authentication is required.
Flaws to Note
Significant 'slouching' or loss of structure (common for larger Vernis totes). Scuffs on the bottom corners. Potential for 'stickiness' in humid climates and high susceptibility to color transfer from dark denim or fabrics. Scratches on the front decorative plate.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Fashionphile or Rebag for a quick buyout; The RealReal for consignment; eBay with Authenticity Guarantee or Poshmark for maximum profit (highly recommended for items over $500).
Selling Tips
Photograph in bright, indirect natural light to capture the gloss without glare. Use a bag stuffer/pillow for photos to hide the slouching. Use keywords: 'Limited Edition', 'Vernis', 'Big Bag Trend', and 'Authenticity Guaranteed'. Mention the date code specifically in the description.
