This Louis Vuitton Boite Chapeau Souple MM in black Monogram Empreinte leather with gold-tone hardware is in very good condition, showing very light traces of use. Finished with an adjustable shoulder strap, zip-around closure and practical slip pockets, it is an elegant choice for city days, lunches or evening outings.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What size is the Louis Vuitton Monogram Empreinte Boite Chapeau Souple MM Bag, and what typically fits inside? A: This bag measures approximately 22.5 x 20.5 x 8 cm. It is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, sunglasses and a few small cosmetics. Because of the rounded silhouette, bulky items and larger long wallets can be less practical than in a rectangular day bag.
Q: How can this bag be worn? A: This piece has a single flat, adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate strap measurement of 52 cm. It can generally be worn on the shoulder or crossbody, depending on your height and preferred fit.
Q: What does “Souple” mean on this model? A: “Souple” refers to the softer, more flexible version of the Boite Chapeau design. It keeps the hat-box-inspired look, but it is easier for day-to-day use than the more rigid Boite Chapeau styles.
Q: Is the zip-around closure easy to use? A: The zip-around closure is secure and helps the bag keep its distinctive rounded shape. As with many circular bags, access can feel a little different from a straight-top bag, but the softer Souple construction makes it more forgiving and practical for everyday essentials.
Q: Does this bag have any pockets? A: Yes. It has one internal slip pocket and one external slip pocket on the back. These are useful for slim essentials, while the main compartment holds your core daily items.
Q: What is Monogram Empreinte leather? A: Monogram Empreinte is Louis Vuitton’s supple embossed leather, finished with the signature Monogram pattern. It offers a more understated look than coated canvas while still feeling luxurious and structured enough for regular use.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: This piece is listed in very good condition. The exterior and interior both show very light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The included items listed in the product information are the box, luggage tag, dust bag, and padlock with keys. As this is a pre-owned item, only the pieces stated in the product information are included.
Q: What does the code DUO240 refer to? A: The code recorded in the product information is DUO240. On Louis Vuitton items, this type of code is generally a production or date code rather than a unique serial number, and it should be considered alongside materials, hardware, stamping and overall construction when assessing authenticity.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: To keep it looking its best, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth, avoid overfilling, and store it in its dust bag when not in use. It is also best to keep the bag away from prolonged direct sunlight, heat and excess moisture to help preserve the leather and its shape.
