Introduced in the 1960s by Gaston-Louis Vuitton, the Papillon, meaning "butterfly" in French, became one of the house’s most playful yet practical designs. Its cylindrical silhouette stood out among traditional handbags and quickly earned cult status, carried by fashion icons across the decades.
This vintage Papillon comes in the elegant Damier Ebene canvas with treated leather trim, a variation that adds refined Parisian edge to the whimsical barrel shape. Compact yet roomy, it is designed to be carried by hand or on the arm, with a secure zip closure that keeps your essentials safe. A piece of fashion history, the Papillon Damier remains as collectible today as when it was first launched.
