Story
The Dauphine digs a 1970s LV silhouette out of the archive and rebuilds it with a magnetic LV clasp and a two-panel canvas layout — classic monogram against its reverse. It ships with both a chain and a leather strap, which is why the Mini, despite its size, is one of the most-carried bags in the line.

Authentication checklist
- The front LV clasp is magnetic and substantial — it should pull the flap closed with a definite snap
- Both straps (chain and leather) belong to the full set; hardware finishes must match each other
Care notes
Coated or woven canvas wipes clean with a soft damp cloth, but the leather trim is the vulnerable part: keep trim away from prolonged moisture, and never use solvents or alcohol wipes on either surface. Store the bag stuffed with acid-free paper, upright in its dust bag (not its box — leather needs airflow), away from direct sun and heat. Rest chains and hardware against a soft cloth so metal never presses into light leather for a season. Carry it in rotation rather than entombing it: leather that is aired, carried occasionally, and re-stuffed ages far better than leather stored untouched for years.
