Description

A charming vintage Louis Vuitton accessory, the Pochette Papillon M51380 captures the distinctive cylindrical silhouette of the House’s iconic Papillon handbag in a petite, versatile size.

Crafted from classic Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim and gold-tone brass hardware, this compact piece offers unmistakable Louis Vuitton style in an easy-to-carry design.

Originally created as a companion pouch for the larger Papillon handbag, the Mini Papillon can be carried by its leather wrist strap or used inside a larger bag to organize cosmetics, cards, keys, and other small essentials.

Louis Vuitton describes today’s revived Pochette Papillon as inspired by this archival accessory and the original Papillon design of the 1960s.

This vintage piece is in excellent pre-owned condition and retains its classic barrel-shaped silhouette beautifully.

Its compact proportions, recognizable Monogram canvas, and playful shape make it a distinctive standalone wristlet as well as a practical luxury pouch.
