Vintage Louis Vuitton Drawstring Bucket Bag

I have been obsessed with Louis Vuitton lately.  There are two styles I'm loving and want:  the Neverfull tote and the Pallas bag.   Everywhere I go I see women carrying LV bags which fuels my desire even more.  I think there's a chance I may end up with a new bag before the year is over, but in the meantime I realized that I should dig my vintage LV bucket bag out of the closet and use it again.  The vachetta leather is stained and the drawstring (easily replaceable) has seen better days, but there's nothing wrong with the coated canvas or interior and the shoulder strap is still in good condition.

I bought this bag to celebrate a new job in 2000 and carried it to work every day for at least a year, maybe more.  I always think of it as a work bag, but that's silly, so this Louie and I are going to get reacquainted!
