The 2006 limited-edition M40109 is defined by movement, its strips swinging and recombining with every step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated at the height of the house's early-2000s Multicolore period, this 2006 limited edition combines a white Monogram Multicolore body with natural cowhide leather, vivid suede fringe, multicolored beads, rhinestone embellishment and polished gold-tone hardware. Multicolore became one of the defining signatures of the Maison's collaboration with Takashi Murakami, turning the familiar initials and floral motifs into a vibrant field of color on a pale ground, and the M40109 represents its maximalist side: playful, decorative and deliberately extravagant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bag follows a compact vertical bucket silhouette, framed by a circular reinforced base and a structured upper leather section from which the handles rise. Between them hangs the defining feature, a curtain of long strips in saturated pink, turquoise, orange, yellow, green and purple, each differing slightly in color, length, ornament and termination. Some end in brightly colored cylindrical beads, others in small decorative elements or metal components, and smaller clusters and rhinestones punctuate the lower fringe; bead colors include red, yellow, green, blue, turquoise, pink, orange, white and black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural cowhide gives the composition its discipline: the upper panel carries curved reinforcement shapes, rivets and stitching, and the base is wrapped in a broad leather band with decorative stitching. Like all untreated cowhide, it develops honey coloration, surface darkening, handling marks, fine wrinkles and localized patina over time. Inside, a contrasting lining holds one open pocket and one zippered pocket, and the vertical body offers more usable depth than its compact footprint suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twin adjustable shoulder handles extend the proportions while leaving the fringe unobstructed; the bag is made for shoulder carry and is best allowed to hang freely rather than pressed against other objects. Displayed upright it has real sculptural presence, its silhouette changing with the angle: layered fringe and leather from the front, the density of ornament in profile, the circular geometry from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Louis Vuitton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bucket Fringe (Bucket Frange), M40109\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monogram Multicolore, limited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monogram Multicolore canvas; natural cowhide leather trim; suede fringe, beads and rhinestone elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blanc \/ white Multicolore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Width 23 cm \/ 9.1 in · Height 25 cm \/ 9.8 in · Depth 15.5 cm \/ 6.1 in · Handle length approx. 33–51 cm \/ 13.0–20.1 in (approximate exterior measurements)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Louis Vuitton storage bag; the original pouch is not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior:\u003c\/strong\u003e One open pocket; one zippered pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial:\u003c\/strong\u003e SR0056\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"jp-grade\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJaponista grade B\u003c\/strong\u003e · Good, with visible wear consistent with use; fully functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraded Used B: visible signs of previous use while retaining the essential character of the design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExterior rubbing and exterior soiling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural cowhide darkening and patina.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome damaged or cracked beads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior rubbing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage odor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge soiling and staining; corner soiling and staining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle staining and handle wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe photographs form part of the complete condition assessment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrnament Preservation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a bag such as this, condition involves more than the canvas: fringe integrity, bead completeness, rhinestone retention, leather condition, handle strength, metal attachment points and the shape of the cylindrical body all matter.
