Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Damier Papillon 30 Bag? A: With its approximate 30 x 15 x 12 cm size, this bag will typically hold daily essentials such as a phone, full-length wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a small cosmetics pouch. The cylindrical shape is roomy for its size, but it is not suited to a laptop, A4 documents, or bulkier items. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions.
Q: Can the Papillon 30 be worn on the shoulder? A: This item has an approximate strap drop of 17 cm, so some wearers may be able to carry it on the shoulder, especially with lighter clothing. However, the Papillon 30 is most often enjoyed as a hand-held or crook-of-the-arm style, and shoulder comfort can vary depending on your frame and how full the bag is.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
