Louis Vuitton Porte Valeurs

Louis Vuitton Porte Valeurs / Porte Chequier Checkbook Wallet, Monogram Canvas, Vintage (Saks Fifth Avenue Stamp)

A rare vintage Louis Vuitton wallet from the Porte Valeurs / Porte Chequier line. Monogram coated canvas shapes the exterior with crisp structure and print clarity. Inside, a terracotta leather layout offers discreet utility with an envelope coin pocket and a central pen loop. The interior bears a Saks Fifth Avenue retailer stamp, a notable American market provenance for collectors. Authentic construction and balanced proportions complete the piece.

• Exterior: Monogram coated canvas, resin-sealed for structure and easy care
• Edges: hand-finished glazing along flap, pockets, and perimeter for a smooth, architectural rim
• Hardware: polished gold-tone brass snap with a warm lustre
