“Courtney” Pale Blue Vintage Louis Vuitton Trunk Tag Pendant

This pendant began life as an original Louis Vuitton trunk tag from the 1980s, rescued from one of the famous Paris fashion auctions. I was lucky enough to secure three of them.  Rare, storied pieces that once marked luggage belonging to those who travelled in serious style. By the late 20th century, trunks like these were reserved for the elite, collectors, jet-setters and those who still embraced the golden age of luxury travel. Just imagine the European adventures this tag may have seen.  Private cars sweeping through the Alps, hotel suites in Rome, or lazy summers on the Côte d’Azur.

Now, it’s been lovingly reimagined in my workshop. Entirely handcrafted in solid sterling silver, the pendant is finished with a warm 9ct yellow gold beaded edge that beautifully ties into the original soft gold LV logo and lettering. The tag itself is an exquisite pale blue, right on the edge of green.  Reminiscent of vintage sea glass or the kind of Parisian enamel that only gets better with age. It’s a colour that catches the light in the most graceful way, subtle yet utterly captivating.

A large brass bail completes the look, chosen specifically to pair effortlessly with both gold and silver chains. But my favourite way to wear it? Draped decadently on a strand of creamy pearls, where old world charm meets contemporary cool. That’s the best part,  the story it tells is only just beginning… and you get to decide how it continues.

This is a bold piece of Louis Vuitton hardware and it doesn’t go unnoticed. It’s the kind of jewellery that makes people stop mid sentence to ask, “Where did you get that?” Friends will want the story. Strangers will ask for a closer look. And you’ll be able to say, with a quiet sort of pride, that you’re wearing a one-of-a-kind piece of fashion history, hand crafted in France, by an Australian girl who had a dream and called it Porsha Bella Jewellery.

*Please note, the buttons used in all of my creations are second hand, antique or vintage, therefore they will show signs of their previous lives.  Some scratches, tiny dents, some enamel wear and even tarnishing.  I cannot guarantee the quality or longevity of these buttons.  In some cases there can be colour variations, and plating lift during the polishing process, this is unavoidable.  I’m unable to refund or replace buttons that break or crack.  Although I do put every button through rigorous testing to do my best to ensure their longevity.  *Disclaimer… I’m not able to guarantee the longevity of any buttons that have crystals or pearls used.

Unlike costume jewellery, my jewellery is professionally hand crafted using traditional Goldsmith techniques and genuine, solid precious metals, so therefore you can wear *some of your Porsha Bella pieces whilst swimming, showering and washing.  These activities shouldn’t damage or discolour the precious metals.  I never take my jewellery off.  However, you may need to polish your jewellery a little more frequently if you want that shiny, brand new look.  If you treat your Porsha Bella creation, like the treasure of history it is, you should have an heirloom piece that will stand the test of time.  If you have any concerns about how to care for this piece, then please reach out to me and I can help you with tips on getting a long and happy wear life out of it.

*Designer buttons have no affiliation with the brand or fashion house of their origin.  I do my best to ensure all designer buttons are genuine and from a reputable source.  Porsha Bella designer button creations are not sold on behalf of or in conjunction with the brand.  The designer buttons are second hand, vintage or antique, with all rights removed and protected by the second hand market.
