Launched in the 1960s by Gaston-Louis Vuitton, the Louis Vuitton Papillon takes its name from the French word for “butterfly” and quickly became known for its playful cylindrical shape. Over time, it grew from a novelty design into a beloved classic carried by fashion icons across decades. Made from signature Monogram canvas with natural vachetta trim, the Papillon 26 blends vintage charm with everyday practicality. Its compact barrel silhouette is easy to carry by hand or on the arm, and the zip closure keeps essentials secure. This cult favourite brings effortless French chic to any collection.
