Louis Vuitton Boite Chapeau 40

The Louis Vuitton Porcelain Vase Petite Boite Chapeau is a decorative object from the house's Home collection: a flower vase in white porcelain, shaped like the iconic Petite Boite Chapeau, the round "hat box" bag. It is a piece of homeware rather than a bag, made to sit on a table or shelf and hold blooms, and it is one of those tongue-in-cheek luxury objects that reinterprets a famous silhouette in an unexpected material.

The detail is all in the porcelain. The Monogram pattern, the S-lock hardware, the handle, and the name tag of the original bag are all embossed into the white china, so the whole design reads in relief against the bone-white surface rather than in colour. It measures roughly 18.5 by 26 cm and is made in France.

It makes a genuine statement as decor, recognisably Louis Vuitton without a bag or a logo print in sight. At Konesseur, every Louis Vuitton piece is authenticated before listing, and homeware from the Maison reaches the resale market in far smaller numbers than the bags.
