Essay / Case Study Christopher Berneck - 1863
He bought the bag in Paris in June and he barely used it, so it looks brand new. The bag is from the Speedy line with the classic LV monogram pattern in a rich brown and caramel color. The shape of the bag is rectangular with a wide square bottom and a sturdy rectangular structure that begins to taper towards the top (Figure 2). Metal parts such as the double lockable zipper and the closures are painted gold. There is an adjustable shoulder strap as well as rounded handles that make the bag versatile for shoulder, crossbody and hand carry. The bag itself is made of canvas, the lining is made of soft cotton and the straps, handles and trim are made of natural cowhide. In addition, the handle tab is monogrammed with his initials (figure 3). There is a hidden zipper pocket inside the liner. The bag measures 30 x 21 x 17 cm, making it ideal for light travel as hand luggage.
