The Louis Vuitton mini Papillon trunks aren’t a patch on the original handbag sized beauties. In fact, they’re overpriced pencil cases with a strap.

There, I’ve said it. (hides!)

They actually remind me of the LV watch cases, as they look nothing like the iconic Papillon handbag. I wish LV would think of new names for their "hybrids". Papillon = butterfly , the way the vachetta straps appeared as wings when the bag was set down. These newer releases make me so much more appreciative of the classics I still have.

Fashion keeps changing. While the original Papillon was a beautiful bag it does not look like a bag of 2021, it’s not timeless like the Speedy or some other. The Papillon trunk is tiny for sure, but looks very modern and has classic, typical LV elements at the same time.

Just about everything comes back in style if you keep it long enough. I actually like the old papillon and the new. I’ve noticed other “papillon” shaped bags lately from other designers. I’ve got an old Prada I might just pull out. I feel like the Prada fits right in now.

I don’t like the speedy bags. I think I used to when I was younger because it was so popular then but because of that and it’s reminder of being like twelve years old I dislike how dated it feels to me. It is also too big, even the smaller ones look too big and luggage like.
i also don’t like the trunk bags either they are too bulky IMO
I do also think they should expand their neutrals range and try to create more timeless pieces but we all define that differently.

As Kate1989 said, it's really funny how our tastes can change. I also used to have the possibly unpopular opinion that bag charms (not exclusively LV ones, but I guess in particular LV ones since they're so expensive!) were a complete waste of money, and that I'd never buy one... and now I have about ten, at least. :lol: Having said that, the charms I bought new from LV were less expensive ones, and I managed to find good deals on some other pre-loved charms, but still, I never would have thought I'd have paid for them. Now I love charms because they allow me to have a small piece from a collection that perhaps didn't have any larger items that appealed to me.

So agreed, I did not like charms before, now I like LV charms

This probably doesn’t belong here, but I used to really dislike the Neverfull. I wondered what all the fuss was about… just a standard looking open tote with straps that are too thin and likely to dig in. Now I have three and want more! Funny how our tastes can change.

Same here! Never wanted one, now I have two. :biggrin:
