About this subject

The Louis Vuitton Capucines was launched in 2013 as a tribute to the house's heritage. Its name comes from Rue des Capucines in Paris, where Louis Vuitton opened his first store in 1854. The bag quickly became a contemporary classic, recognized for its structured silhouette and the monogram flower clasp that conceals the LV logo.

The MM (medium) model is crafted in Taurillon leather, a full-grain calf leather treated to be soft to the touch yet durable for daily use. Each bag is produced in French workshops, requiring about 14 hours of handwork. Details include a top handle in leather, a removable shoulder strap in chain and leather, and a practical interior with compartments and pockets.

The Capucines MM is a status symbol in the fashion world, worn by celebrities like Rihanna and Michelle Obama. Its high price reflects exclusivity and impeccable finishing. Seasonal editions offer variations in colors and materials, such as crocodile and suede, while maintaining the classic base.

The setting on a Tuscan villa terrace evokes the sophisticated lifestyle associated with the bag: travel, elegance, and refinement. The sunlight on the Taurillon leather highlights its natural texture and the quality of the craftsmanship.
