The vintage Louis Vuitton Saint Cloud
If you ask any vintage Louis Vuitton lover what a good example of a vintage beauty from the luxury house is, you will guaranteed hear the answer ‘LV Saint Cloud’ multiple times. If we think about vintage designer pieces, this stunning crossbody bag immediately crosses our mind. Louis Vuitton discontinued the production of the Saint Cloud, so the best option will be a vintage treasure. And we got you there! You can shop the beauty here.
Like most of Louis Vuitton bags, the Saint Cloud is named after a location in France. In the case of this beauty it’s a district in North-West Paris, France. Saint Cloud counts approximately 31 thousand inhabitants and is a commune of Hauts-de-Seine. It’s also known for its castle ‘Château de Saint-Cloud’ and the famous St Cloud porcelain. The place was named after the grandson of Clovis, called Clodoald or in French ‘Saint Cloud’.
Tip: If you ever go to Paris, you should definitely check out the names of the places (for example if you travel by Metro). If you are a Louis Vuitton fan you will find a lot of familiar names like Alma and Batignolles.
