The Louis Vuitton Cartouchière

The Louis Vuitton Cartouchière is a stunning timeless crossbody bag designed by Louis Vuitton around 1980. Real vintage lovers can eat their hearts out, because this bag is a true vintage piece. The estimated retail price for this beautiful bag is around €800 to €1000, but the bag was discontinued a long time ago. Who would've thought that the bag's name Cartouchière was army related? It comes from the army’s bandolier. A "bandolier" is a belt soldiers wore to carry their cartridges. The definition of cartridge belt in the dictionary is together formed of the socket and the projectile of the portable firearms. Well, we can tell you, this bag will hold all your precious weapons.
