Louis Vuitton Capucines BB Handbag Green Croc Leather Limited

The Louis Vuitton Capucines BB in green crocodile is one of the most exclusive versions of the bag, executed in exotic skin. The Capucines is Louis Vuitton's top-tier leather-goods line, named after Rue Neuve-des-Capucines, the Paris street where the house opened its first store in 1854, and in crocodile it moves into a different tier again, since exotic skins are hand-selected and worked in tiny numbers. This one is a rich green, a colour that shows off the natural pattern and shine of the croc.

The signature detail is the LV initials on the front flap, which flip: turn the "V" behind the "L" for a discreet look, or in front to show the full monogram. It is a structured top-handle bag, and the BB is the smallest size, around 27 by 18 by 9 cm, with a removable, adjustable shoulder strap so it can be carried by the handle or worn cross-body. Crocodile softens and develops a deeper character with wear while keeping its distinctive scaled surface.

Because this is exotic crocodile, an endangered-species material, it is governed by CITES: cross-border shipping requires the relevant permits and documentation. At Konesseur, every piece is authenticated before listing, and a green croc Capucines is about as rare as the line gets. Browse more Louis Vuitton or the wider handbags range to compare.
