I am almost positive this is authentic, but i want to make sure. What would be a good price for this? Seller claims its only been used twice - I'm guessing from the datestamp that its from 2000...

Yes real, the older style. Is the seller including the smaller pouch?

Oh okay. The hook on the older styles is hard to hook on anyways. Good luck.

Yes, this is the older style, prior to late 2002 or 2003, can't remember. It was lined with darker grain leather straps, not the vachetta. I had one before in 30, sold it, later replaced it with a damier pap. I loved the older style, my only complaint was that the hook was a pain.

Very much so authentic....Louis Vuitton always hides their serial number in place where no one would dare to look. I own a crap load of Louie Bags...LMAO I am addicted!!!
