With its pedigree as the ultimate feminine travel accessory, the hatbox has been reimagined for the modern era as a day-to-evening bag. Inspired by Georges Vuitton’s patented chauffeur bag from 1905, designed to hold both a spare tire in the outer compartment and daily necessities in the inner one, Louis Vuitton’s first models of round, hard-sided trunks designed especially to protect hats date back to the early 1920s.

This Petite Boite Chapeau bag features gold matte alligator with gold tone hardware and features tonal stitching, push lock closure, adjustable leather top handle and comes with a removable, adjustable shoulder strap with a removable leather luggage tag.

 The interior is lined in lambskin leather with one open pocket.

Whether carried as a clutch or worn with the shoulder strap, the Petite Boîte Chapeau adds a stylish, elegant touch to any ensemble.
