I’ve had my eye on the Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandoulière 55 Monogram Duffle Bag for more than a year and half, but it’s been constantly out of stock on the Louis Vuitton website, and after having a bad experience buying from a resale website that claimed to sell authentic designer items, I was certain I was out of luck.
