Louis Vuitton SOUFFLOT BB

Vertical bands and a name tag give the Soufflot BB a travel-bag character, echoing the Keepall in miniature. Black Monogram coated canvas forms the body, supple in hand, with gussets and trim of rich, coloured leather and a coordinating coloured lining inside. Grained cowhide-leather gussets at the sides reinforce the structure, smooth cowhide-leather trim edges the panels, microfiber lining covers the interior, and gold-color hardware finishes the fittings. A name tag hangs as a small identifying detail. It measures 11.4 x 7.5 x 3.9 inches (length x Height x Width), fashionably petite, with a slim 3.9-inch depth that keeps the structured form close to the body.

Three separate compartments divide the interior, so contents can be sorted into three groups instead of sharing one open space. That division gives the petite exterior a surprisingly organised interior, with each compartment holding its own set of items. An inside flat pocket sits against the microfiber lining, a slim space for flat items kept separate from the compartments. The microfiber lining gives a soft, even finish, and the coordinating coloured lining adds a colour accent inside that echoes the coloured leather gussets and trim outside. The vertical bands run down the sides, reinforcing the structure and giving the bag its Keepall-like profile, while the name tag marks the front face.

Carrying options cover four positions. A double handle arrangement gives hand carry and crook-of-the-arm carry, two handles that rest together in the hand or in the elbow. A removable, adjustable strap adds shoulder and cross-body wear, with a strap drop of 19.3 inches and a strap drop max of 20.5 inches, a narrow range that keeps the petite bag close to the body in either position. Removing the strap leaves the clean hand-carried form, with only the double handle, vertical bands and name tag visible. Refined and timeless, the bag moves between those carries without changing its structured shape.

Gold-color hardware at the strap, handle and name-tag attachments gives a warm finish against the black canvas and coloured leather, and the supple coated canvas keeps the petite structured form light and flexible in the hand through a full day of carrying. The reference is either made in France, Spain, Italy or in the US. Petite, structured and organised into three compartments, with coloured gussets, vertical bands and a name tag that recall a travel bag, the Soufflot BB in black Monogram canvas is a small carrier that can be worn cross-body, on the shoulder, by hand or in the crook of the arm.
