Louis Vuitton Soufflot BB

Coquelicot red Epi leather gives the Soufflot BB a vivid, structured presence, a bright red tone in grained leather that stands out in office and city settings. Coquelicot Red Epi grained cowhide leather forms the body, with small-grained supple and smooth cowhide leather trim, microfibre lining and silver-colour hardware. The grained Epi surface feels textured and firm, holding the structured shape of the bag, while the smooth leather trim at the edges gives a contrasting, polished finish. It measures 29 x 19 x 10 cm / 11.4 x 7.5 x 3.9 inches (Length x height x width), a smart, compact size with a 10 cm depth that conceals a spacious interior. Smooth leather trim, a nod to the Keepall travel bag, adds a refined touch, echoing the trim of that travel design in a smaller, structured form.

Three separate compartments divide the interior, so contents can be sorted into three distinct groups instead of sharing one open space. That three-way division is the key to the spacious feel: each compartment holds its own set of items, and the compartments can be packed according to how often their contents are reached for. A flat inside pocket sits against the microfibre lining, a slim space for flat items, and a double flat inside pocket gives two flat spaces side by side for slim items kept apart. The microfibre lining gives a soft, even finish, protecting contents and making the compartments and pockets easy to see into when the bag is opened. A name tag hangs as a small identifying detail, in matching leather, a traditional marker that personalises the structured form.

Two single top handles, handle single x2, give hand carry, keeping the structured bag upright and the compartments level. A removable, adjustable strap adds shoulder and cross-body wear, with a strap drop of 49.0 cm/19.3 inches and a strap drop max of 52.0 cm/20.5 inches, a range that allows the bag to hang over the shoulder at the shorter drop or across the body at the longer drop. Removing the strap leaves the clean hand-carried form, with only the two handles and the structured Epi body visible. The strap being adjustable means the drop can be set to match the wearer and the load, rather than fixed at one height.

Silver-colour hardware at the strap, handle and closure fittings gives a cool metallic finish against the vivid red leather and smooth trim, a contrast to the gold hardware on many other models in this range. The reference is either made in France, Spain, Italy or in the US. Timeless and structured in Coquelicot red Epi leather, with three separate compartments, flat and double flat pockets, a name tag and a removable adjustable strap, the Soufflot BB is a compact bag for office to city wear that keeps a spacious interior organised behind a refined trim echoing the Keepall travel design.
