EUC Louis Vuitton Monogram Papillon handbag

Louis Vuitton Papillon (French for "butterfly"). This iconic barrel-shaped bag was first introduced in 1966 by Henri Racamier and is celebrated as a timeless classic. Details Design: The bag features the signature Louis Vuitton monogram canvas and natural cowhide leather (vachetta) handles, which develop a rich honey-colored patina over time. Authenticity: Authentic Papillon bags are known for their high-quality construction, precise stitching, and solid brass hardware. They typically do not have a traditional serial number but instead feature a date code stamped inside, which indicates the place and time of production. Sizing: The vintage Papillon came in various sizes, with common ones being the Papillon 26 (approximately 26cm/10.25 inches wide) and the Papillon 30 (approximately 30cm/12 inches wide). Status: The Papillon line was officially discontinued in 2018, making vintage models popular collector's items on the resale market.
