The Sonatine is one of those quietly distinctive Louis Vuitton pieces that collectors recognize immediately and others stop to ask about. The cylindrical barrel silhouette sits low and structured in the hand, with a front and back snap closure. This one was made in France in May 2001 and has been cared for accordingly.
The Sonatine's signature is its barrel shape and the way it sits in the hand. The vachetta handles have developed a deep, even honey patina consistent with age and gentle use. The canvas is clean throughout. The interior shows wear consistent with its age and has been priced accordingly.
