LOUIS VUITTON proudly launches the new iconic GO-14 bag model – a unique example of the special importance of leather goods in the history of the Maison. The GO-14 was Nicolas Ghesquière’s first bag – hence its encoded name: Ghesquière October 2014, the date on which it was first seen on the runway on the occasion of the debut show of the artistic director of LOUIS VUITTON’s women’s collections. In 2023, she makes her comeback with a unique feature: the Malletage.

The name of the bag, 'coussin', in French means 'cushion' and the silhouette represents it well. The hint in the name gives us the feeling that this accessory is meant to be a comfortable 'companion'. Just like a pillow we sleep on at night, the Coussin bag is something very close to the person who wears it. The bag’s pillowy nature offers comfort – something much needed nowadays. In the meanwhile the bag is still a luxurious accessory, gender-fluid by all means. It earned affection of many actresses, bloggers and famous people of the world.

The Louis Vuitton Alma bag is a true iconic handbag, and its elegant curved and structured shape embodies classic city style. It was created in 1934 by Gaston-Louis Vuitton. The Alma was the second handbag by Louis Vuitton, after the Speedy. Rumor goes that the Alma was originally made for Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel as a custom order in 1925 already. Coco gave permission to produce the bag for the public later on. With an 80 years old history behind it, it isn't only one of the Louis Vuitton symbols but also one of the most recognizable handbags in the world. Amongst her fans was Jackie Kennedy, but nowadays celebrities like Rihanna are still spotted carrying the Alma quite often.

Louis Vuitton has a history in making luggage. In 1930, the Louis Vuitton Keepall was introduced by Gaston Vuitton as the moderately sized weekender bag of Louis Vuitton to accommodate the shifting travel habits of people at the time. The Louis Vuitton Keepall is the spirit of modern travel: light, flexible and always ready for an immediate departure. Being the unisex bag that's great as a carry-on for every trip, it got iconic straight away. The Keepall is the all-time favorite for many celebrities and influencers.

Introduced in 1930, the Louis Vuitton Speedy bag was crafted to meet the fast-paced lifestyle of its time. Originally designed as a travel companion, the bag’s name reflects its swift adaptability to the needs of the modern traveler. Throughout its storied history, the LV Speedy has seen evolutions in materials, sizes, and collaborations with renowned artists, ensuring its relevance in every era. Worn by fashion influencers such as Audrey Hepburn, Alexa Chung, and Emma Stone, the Speedy stands as a symbol of enduring style and a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation and sophistication over the past nine decades.

Louis Vuitton celebrates the summer and the reopening of its resorts in the most beautiful Italian holiday destinations with a new and exclusive limited edition of the famous OnTheGo tote bag. The OnTheGo is inspired by Louis Vuitton’s historic Sac Plat document bag, an iconic model designed in 1968, much loved by celebrities and reinterpreted several times by the Maison’s artists and designers.

The Capucines Bag made its debut on the runway in Louis Vuitton's Fall/Winter 2013 collection under the creative direction of Nicolas Ghesquière. With its name, the Louis Vuitton Capucines bag pays homage to Rue des Capucines, the street in Paris where Louis Vuitton opened his first store in 1854. This homage to the brand’s roots reflects the bag’s timeless and classical appeal. Furthermore, mounts on the handle of the bag are inspired by the Louis Vuitton’s historic trunks.

First launched in 2007, the Neverfull was an immediate hit, and remains so. When unfounded rumours swirled last year that the bag was going to be discontinued, there was a firestorm on social media, which led to a wait-list system, and added to the hype that already existed for the bag on resale sites. According to Vestiaire Collective, the style remains Louis Vuitton’s second most popular bag (after the Pochette) and it has an average of 800 daily searches on the site.

Louis Vuitton’s heritage as a trunk maker preceded even the founding of the company. It was in 1837 that a 16-year-old Louis Vuitton arrived in Paris by foot and started apprenticing for Monsieur Maréchal. At the time, horse-drawn carriages, boats and trains were the main modes of transportation, and baggage was handled roughly. Travelers called upon craftsmen to pack and protect their individual objects.
