Vintage Friday Fact #4
The Louis Vuitton Papillon 26 was first released in 1966, and its name, Papillon, French for butterfly, refers to the bag’s elegant, cylindrical shape. Sleek, symmetrical, and graceful in motion, just like a butterfly.
The “26” refers to the bag’s length in centimeters, making it a compact and effortlessly chic everyday piece. Timeless, stylish, and a true vintage favorite.
In 1965, Fendi made a bold move that would shape fashion history: they hired the legendary Karl Lagerfeld as their creative director. During his first brainstorming session, Lagerfeld sketched the now-iconic “FF” logo, short for Fun Fur, in just five seconds.
This playful yet powerful emblem quickly became a symbol of Fendi’s daring spirit and luxurious craftsmanship. From vintage baguette bags to modern classics, the double F has remained one of the most recognizable monograms in the fashion world.
The Chanel Full Flap is a refined vintage design from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, known for its sleek, uninterrupted flap and timeless silhouette. Unlike the Double Flap, this model has a single flap, making it lighter and more user-friendly, perfect for effortless, everyday elegance.
Fun fact: The Full Flap is often mistaken for the Classic Flap, but it’s actually a direct evolution of the original 2.55 bag introduced by Coco Chanel in 1955.
Did you know the iconic Chanel flap bag was inspired by military satchels Coco Chanel saw during her time in a convent orphanage? The chain strap, now a timeless style staple, was once a bold symbol of freedom and practicality for women on the move.
This rare Burgundy Rock the Corner Flap in medium brings modern edge to classic elegance.
