The Capucines is Louis Vuitton's most prestigious handbag — the one they make to prove they can compete with Hermès. Named after the Rue des Capucines where LV opened his first shop, it is handcrafted from full-grain Taurillon calfskin by a single artisan from start to finish. The distinctive fold-over flap that conceals the LV logo is a uniquely elegant design decision. In black Taurillon it is the most versatile and timeless of all colourways.
