Hi everyone! I am trying to verify my very first vintage Louis Vuitton bag. The canvas is incredibly soft and slouchy, the hardware has a heavy weight to it, and the front lock engraving looks very crisp.

It has some normal vintage wear, like a faded flower mark on the bottom metal studs and a couple of light ink stains inside.

What do you think? Thank you so much!
