Louis Vuitton PROPRIANO

Delicate braided leather piping and handles give the Propriano a refined, hand-finished edge, a woven detail that runs along the seams and the grips. Damier Azur coated canvas forms the exterior, checked in pale tones, with natural cowhide leather trim and gold colored metallic pieces. Inside, a soft rose-colored lining, Rose Ballerine microfiber lining, covers the interior walls, a pink tone that appears as soon as the tote is opened and contrasts with the checked exterior. A playful leather tassel hangs as a decorative accent, non-removable, attached to the bag as a permanent detail. It measures 16.9 x 11.8 x 5.9 inches (length x Height x Width), a shoulder tote size that holds a full daily load while remaining easy to carry in the city or at the beach.

Versatility and summer elegance are the qualities named for this tote, and the closure system supports both. Two magnetic leather patches close the top, leather patches that meet with magnetic fastenings to hold the opening together, easy to open with one hand and secure enough to keep the contents in place. Four press-studs on the bag’s bodyside allow the sides to be adjusted, studs that fasten the body panels to change the shape or secure a fold. Inside, an interior zipped pocket provides a secure, zipped space for flat valuables, separate from the main compartment. The main compartment itself is a single open space, lined in rose microfiber, easy to pack through the wide top opening.

Four bottom studs lift the base off surfaces, protecting the canvas and trim and keeping the tote level when set down on sand, pavement or a floor. The double handle arrangement, handle double, gives two handles in braided leather piping, a grip that feels textured in the hand and distributes the weight of the tote across both handles. The braided piping, delicate in scale, runs along the handle edges and the body seams, giving a crafted finish to the checked canvas. The non-removable tassel, in leather, adds movement and a playful note, swinging gently as the tote is carried, a summer detail that contrasts with the structured canvas body.

Gold colored metallic pieces at the magnetic patches, press-studs and handle attachments give a warm finish against the pale Damier Azur canvas and the rose lining. The reference is either made in France, Spain, Italy or in the US. Refined in its braided piping, soft in its rose lining and playful in its tassel, the Propriano is a shoulder tote that moves between city and beach, its magnetic patches, press-studs and zipped interior pocket keeping a generous open compartment organised and closed.
