Louis Vuitton Monogram Glacé Steve Messenger Bag in Dark Brown Cowhide Leather from 2000

The Louis Vuitton Steve Messenger Bag in Monogram Glace cowhide leather is a refined example of the House’s early-2000s approach to modern, understated luxury. Crafted from smooth dark brown cowhide leather, the bag features a subtly embossed Monogram Glace pattern, finished with a light glaze that gives the surface its characteristic sheen and structured appearance.

The Steve bag is defined by its clean, architectural silhouette and full zip-around opening, offering easy access to a spacious interior lined in durable textile. Designed for daily use, it comfortably accommodates essentials, documents, or travel items. An adjustable shoulder strap allows for crossbody or shoulder wear, while polished hardware and precise construction reflect Louis Vuitton’s commitment to functional craftsmanship.

As outlined in the original Monogram Glace care booklet included with this piece, the glazed cowhide leather is intended to age naturally. With time, the leather develops light wrinkles and becomes more supple — a hallmark of high-quality Glace leather rather than a flaw. This example is offered in used condition and shows visible exterior wear and surface markings consistent with regular use and natural aging. The interior remains clean and fully functional.

The bag is stamped with date code BA1000, indicating production in Italy in the 10th week of 2000. It is accompanied by its original Louis Vuitton dust bag, tag, and the original Monogram Glace care and instructions booklet. No box or receipt is included.
