Since its release, it's seen one major +redesign where they replaced the more ornate textile lining with a simpler +striped pattern (likely to save time/costs as this bag moved into higher volume +production). + +Luckily, that seems to be the only significant "cost-cutting measure" they've +applied to the continued production of this item; it still features the (mostly) +decorative straps that hang down from the sides of the bag, but in a few certain +situations that call for it, such as carrying a large amount of smaller or lighter +objects, the straps can be cinched to shrink the opening and help secure what's +inside (at least a little bit). + +In addition to the zippered pouch on one side of the interior, the bag also comes +with a flat pouch along with a leather strap that you can use to attach the pouch +to a D-ring mounted near the opening, or even just loop that strap back onto the +pouch itself to use as a clutch; I've never really used it for either of those +purposes, mine just sits at home nearly untouched while the bag itself is probably +the most used luxury product I own. + +While I can't credit Louis Vuitton for having really "invented" anything since at +the end of the day, this is just a reusable tote bag that is nearly functionally +identical to something you could pick up at the grocery store for less than five +dollars, the craftsmanship (and admittedly, the branding) just inspires me to go +out of my way and actually make an effort to actually use a reusable shopping bag +on a regular basis instead of only when I can be bothered to rememeber to bring it +out of the house, to the car, before realizing I completely forgot about it after +I've already gotten to the grocery store. +
