Perfect for boardroom meetings or elegant dinners, this Louis Vuitton Capucines MM in black Taurillon leather balances polish and practicality. Silver-tone hardware and the LV flap closure refine the silhouette, while a light pink lining with two compartments and a zipped pocket keeps essentials organised. Carried by its single top handle, this vintage piece in very good condition elevates any look.
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 typically fits inside the Capucines MM? A: With its structured silhouette and our measured interior (approx. 31.5 × 21 × 14 cm on this piece), it comfortably carries a long wallet, large smartphone, sunglasses case, keys, a small cosmetics pouch and an 11-inch tablet. A 13-inch laptop is generally too large for this size; please refer to the Measurements on this page and your device’s dimensions.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This specific item is listed with no accessories and is configured for hand or crook-of-arm carry via the single top handle. Many Capucines MM models were originally supplied with a detachable leather strap, but it is not included with this piece.
Q: How does the Capucines flap close and style the bag? A: The leather flap can be worn two ways: tucked inside to reveal the LV initials, or draped outside to display the Monogram flower stud. Both options cover the contents securely while changing the look.
Q: Is the Capucines MM considered heavy? A: The Capucines range is known to feel substantial due to double‑layered Taurillon leather and solid hardware. The MM size is often reported as around the 1.5 kg mark, so if weight is a concern, consider what you plan to carry day to day.
Q: What is Taurillon leather? A: Taurillon is a premium, full‑grain bovine leather with a soft hand and pronounced natural grain. It is valued for durability and structure while developing a refined patina over time.
Q: How should I care for Taurillon leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt; avoid oils, solvents and coloured liquids that may transfer. Keep away from prolonged sunlight and heavy rain; if it gets wet, blot and allow to air dry. Store in a breathable dust bag, loosely stuffed to maintain shape.
Q: What does the date code AR0165 indicate? A: AR corresponds to production in France; with this numeric format it signifies the 6th week of 2015. Louis Vuitton discontinued external date codes from 2021 in favour of embedded microchips, but earlier items like this one use the date code system.
Q: What is the interior layout of this piece? A: It features a light pink leather lining with two main compartments separated by a central zipped pocket, plus a flap closure with the LV signature.
Q: What is included and what is the condition? A: Accessories: none. Overall condition: very good with light traces of use; interior is clean; hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. Please review the photos and Condition notes on this page for full details.
