Capucines
Catalogued July 2026
The Louis Vuitton Capucines is a structured top-handle bag introduced in 2013, named after Rue Neuve des Capucines, where Louis Vuitton opened his first store in 1854. It is defined by the LV initials on the front, where the letters can flip to sit in front of or behind the leather flap, and by its refined Taurillon leather body. Rounded top handles and a removable strap let it work as a handheld or shoulder bag. It sits at the more elevated, understated end of the Louis Vuitton bag range.

Named for the Paris street where Louis Vuitton opened his very first store in 1854.
Origin
A nod to 1854
Launched in late 2013, the Capucines takes its name from rue Neuve-des-Capucines near Place Vendôme, the address of Louis Vuitton's very first store, opened in 1854.
The Capucines arrived as Louis Vuitton leaned into cleaner, minimally branded bags rather than all-over monogram. The LV initials sit discreetly on the front, a deliberate move away from logo-heavy design.

Without an obvious logo to announce it, the Capucines built a following among shoppers who wanted the craft without the branding, and it is now considered one of the house's modern cult handbags.
