The Ellipse PM is one of those Louis Vuitton silhouettes that never quite made it to reissue, which is exactly what makes it worth finding. Introduced in the 1990s and since discontinued, the rounded dome shape and structured base give it a distinctly architectural presence that reads as collected rather than logo-forward. This one was made in France in May 2000, and it carries its age honestly.
The vachetta leather has developed a rich, even honey patina across the handles and trim, the kind that only comes with time and cannot be replicated. The canvas is clean and intact. The interior chocolate lining is in good condition. The front panel shows some darkening consistent with light use and age, which has been photographed and priced accordingly.
