- Lot Description
This Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Houston Tote Bag is a striking and elegant piece in a radiant golden yellow tone that exudes warm sophistication and timeless modern appeal. Crafted from monogram-embossed coated leather with a high-gloss finish, the Houston is designed to stand out while remaining practical for everyday wear. A perfect statement tote for the fashion-forward collector.
Introduced in 1998, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis line reimagined the House’s classic monogram in a lustrous, patent-like leather. The term "vernis"—French for "varnish"—describes the signature glossy, light-reflecting finish that has made this collection highly sought after across decades and seasonal color releases.
The Houston features structured top handles with a comfortable drop, a spacious interior ideal for daily essentials, and natural cowhide trim that beautifully complements the golden yellow exterior. This rare golden yellow shade is especially desirable, offering a luminous, eye-catching aesthetic with a luxurious and vibrant warmth.Details:
