As seen on the Cruise 2018 Runway, the Louis Vuitton Boite Chapeau Bag has finally arrived. The shape, the look, the charisma — this bag is not an ordinary handbag. And you might wonder: can I carry it on my shoulder, or is it a clutch bag? Or maybe both? But let’s start with the name; “boite chapeau” translates to hat box. Obviously, hat boxes were used to store hats and were often carried by travelers. Hat boxes were very popular in the 19th century, matching the popularity of wearing hats for both day and night. And now we have the Louis Vuitton Hat Box Bag — isn’t that cute? So which bag is the best? The Petite Boite Chapeau Bag, Mini, or the Souple MM Bag? Or is the price of this bag too expensive?
Overview
The Louis Vuitton Boite Chapeau Bag is priced at $2,370 USD. There are 4 sizes available: Louis Vuitton Boite Chapeau Petite, Mini, PM, and MM, and it’s refined with gold hardware. This bag is made in Monogram Canvas, with more material options to be designed in the future. It comes with a shoulder strap for crossbody or shoulder carry. Essentially, this bag is a hat box bag. Both the Petite and Mini sizes are structured and hold their shape. The PM and MM sizes are a bit slouchy because they’re bigger. Only the Boite Chapeau PM and MM sizes are “Souple Bags.”
