Find of the Day: Louis Vuitton Epi Leather Matsy

Oh. My. Lord. I am in LVoe!!! I got my very first Louis Vuitton bag today! I have never been in the market for LV, as it's a little, ahem, out of my price range, but far be it from me to deny it anyone else. They have gorgeous bags and accessories, and I have a deep, deep appreciation for them, probably above any other premium designer out there. I love looking at pics of people's LV collections, it is like stepping into my dream closet.

So.....imagine my shock and excitement to walk into my local consignment shop today (actually looking for Coach bags, LOL) and see this lovely bag hanging all by itself in a corner near the register. I tried to be sly walking over and glancing at the tag: $210!! I tried to be sneaky busting out my phone to try to identify and authenticate the bag. I tried to contain my excitement at the thought that I could actually afford this bag. I tried to pretend to deliberate. Thirty minutes later, I was walking out of the store with her.

I learned she is called a Matsy, and she is from the Epi Leather line. I learned she was made sometime in 2003. I learned I love how smooth and sleek she is. Not to mention the inside, which is beyond soft! The bag was kept in amazing condition, I don't actually think the owner carried her that much at all. There are no marks or cracking that I can see on the leather or the suede inside. All in all, I think I got a steal of a deal.

She is a very thin bag (almost 2 dimensional, LOL), but she fits comfortably on my shoulder and I am very happy with the hobo style. I found very quickly that she will be absolutely perfect for my netbook plus a few other essentials.

Here's what she looks like:
