Louis Vuitton Minaudière
2009
Rawhide is made by scraping the skin thin, soaking it in lime, and then stretching it while it dries. Like alum-tanning, rawhide is not technically “leather”, but is usually lumped in with the other forms. Rawhide is stiffer and more brittle than other forms of leather, and is primarily found in uses such as drum heads where it does not need to flex significantly; it is also cut up into cords for use in lacing or stitching, or for making many varieties of dog chews.
Leather—usually vegetable-tanned leather—can be oiled to improve its water resistance. This supplements the natural oils remaining in the leather itself, which can be washed out through repeated exposure to water. Frequent oiling of leather, with mink oil, neatsfoot oil or a similar material, keeps it supple and improves its lifespan dramatically.



Inspired by early 20th century jewellery boxes, the Louis Vuitton Minaudière is the ultimate feminine accessory. It has highest quality embroidered silk and lambskin lining, golden brass pieces and golden brass Louis Vuitton diamond shaped lock. Interior is a pocket. It can be carried both on hand and shoulder. A golden brass chain enables a shoulder carry. The chain can be kept inside the clutch for a hand carry. The frame is distinctive golden brass. For parties or red carpet events, it’s a glamourous VIP choice. This bag exsits five colors: Black, Pearl, Gold, Plum and Chrome. $1,510.
