[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 10004941, member: 84"]I found this at my friend's thrift store today. I saw it as they were unpacking a truck of donations & told my friend - the manager - if he thought it was real? He looked it over closely & then told me "I think it might be" When I asked if the brass rivets would tarnish in a Vuitton bag, and he told me "maybe - it's obviously very old" Finally when I asked him how much? He said $40. I asked 'what about $25'? He replied "what about $75?" So I paid him $40 for it. Can anyone tell if it's is a old, vintage Louis Vuitton backpack? Isn't there a way to tell by the leather or the stitching? If it is real, any idea how old it is? Anther picker friend of mine told me about a Louis Vuitton shop near me that would tell me if it's real, and clean it - for free! So I'm going to take it there Monday, but I'm hoping someone here can tell me sooner. Thank you!
