Babylone
Catalogued July 2026
The Babylone is a Louis Vuitton tote named after the Rue de Babylone neighborhood in Paris. The original was a shoulder tote from the late 1980s made into the early 2000s, and the name was later revived for the Babylone in Monogram Empreinte leather. If you're dating one, the leather and construction separate the vintage from the modern.
