Broad belly scales, high gloss and a central gold lock give it a vivid, sculptural presence; it arrives with strap, padlock, key and name tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA striking exotic-leather interpretation of Louis Vuitton's structured City Steamer, this PM is rendered in saturated electric-blue crocodilian leather with contrasting gold-tone hardware. Large central scales, smaller flank scales and the high-gloss finish create natural variation across every panel, a depth that embossed leather cannot reproduce. Its compact PM proportions are balanced by dual top handles and a removable shoulder strap, so the bag moves between formal hand carry and more relaxed shoulder wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe City Steamer is one of the Maison's most structured modern handbag forms. Its vertical profile is framed by two rigid top handles, carefully shaped side panels and a clean rectangular base, and the front is anchored by a polished gold-tone lock assembly. The blue emphasizes the natural scale geometry: broad rectangular belly scales dominate the central panels and transition into smaller, more irregular scales around the sides and structural edges, a variation intrinsic to genuine exotic leather that gives each panel its own character. Gold-tone front lock hardware, handle attachments, protective metal fittings, zipper hardware and detachable strap fittings give a rich, jewelry-like presence against the intense blue, far more dramatic than conventional calfskin versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor defines this piece. Instead of the restrained formality of black or neutral versions, the City Steamer becomes vivid, sculptural and almost electric; the gold-tone lock sits at the center like a piece of jewelry while the scale pattern sets up natural movement across the disciplined geometry. The leather supplies organic irregularity, the architecture discipline and the hardware punctuation, the same visual rigor that shaped Louis Vuitton's historic travel pieces, here made more pronounced. Exotic-leather Louis Vuitton occupies a category distinct from Monogram or calfskin production, and the combination of City Steamer architecture, PM proportions, electric-blue crocodilian leather, gold-tone hardware, removable strap and complete lock-and-key presentation makes this a particularly striking collector-oriented version.\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 City Steamer PM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e N95818 (additional marking \/ reference M12189)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine crocodilian exotic leather, high-gloss finish; gold-tone hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e PM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Width 26.5 cm \/ 10.4 in · Height 23 cm \/ 9.1 in · Depth 13.5 cm \/ 5.3 in (approximate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dust bag (with an initial marking); detachable shoulder strap; padlock; key; name tag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-way handbag \/ tote \/ shoulder bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarrying:\u003c\/strong\u003e Structured dual top handles; detachable shoulder strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood pre-owned condition with an attractive overall presence; the bag retains a strong structured silhouette.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe exterior shows normal signs of handling, including light scratches, rubbing, edge wear and minor surface marks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe interior shows signs of prior careful use, with light rubbing, faint surface marks and faint soiling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe shoulder strap shows some peeling or surface wear, and the hardware may show light handling marks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe included dust bag carries an initial marking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInterior \u0026amp; Styling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior continues the structured character of the City Steamer, with a compact footprint for a wallet, smartphone, keys and other small personal items while preserving the clean exterior architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a statement bag.
