Description & History
A Louis Vuitton Papillon 26 in Monogram canvas · date code SP****, 2002 · made in France · caramel Vachetta patina · gold-tone zipper · 25.5 × 13.5 cm (10.0 × 5.3 in.) · grade B.
The Papillon is one of the most original silhouettes in the Louis Vuitton catalog. Its cylindrical shape — unique in the house's range — gives it an immediately identifiable allure and a natural femininity that other rectangular or trapezoidal shapes do not possess. The 26 size is the smallest in the Papillon range: more compact than the 30, rarer on the second-hand market, more desirable for those who love small bags with strong character. Manufactured in France in 2002 in Saint-Pourçain, one of the house's major workshops, this example has developed a beautiful caramel Vachetta patina on the handles and bands — a sign of a bag regularly used and carefully maintained for over twenty years.
Good vintage condition — clean canvas, handles in good condition with light rubbing, hardware with light uniform patina, clean interior with light signs of use, no major flaws — documented in photos. Comes with RARR Vintage dustbag and RARR Vintage authenticity certificate.
