Dauphine

A 1976 archive shape revived in 2019 with the magnetic LV lock.

The Dauphine revived a 1976 archive design in 2019: a clean, boxy flap bag fronted by a magnetic LV lock, split between Monogram and Reverse Monogram canvas.

Sizes run Mini through MM, with a wide chain-and-leather strap that wears crossbody or doubled on the shoulder.
