The Magic Behind the Louis Vuitton Handbags

With a long history going back to 1854, Louis Vuitton is unquestionably one of the most prominent luxury brands in the world. Although the French fashion house began making luggage, it was not until the 1940s that master craftsman Louis Vuitton integrated leather to broaden its product line to include handbags and wallets. As a result, the company's long history of producing perfect bags began. It continues to charm the hearts of fashion fans all over the globe.

Georges Vuitton, who had inherited the legendary luggage Maison from his father, Louis, was confronted with a quandary: how to separate his house's fine products from the numerous other luxury travel enterprises fighting for an affluent Parisian clientele.

Georges came up with the V over the L emblem that we all know and love. Stylized flowers with four pointed petals in black rhombuses and round flowers in a solid circle were added to the monogram to make it pop.

Who would have guessed that this motif, strewn over the surfaces of numerous, apparently infinite purses, totes, and trunks, would become as immediately identifiable? It was desired, adored, and essentially untouched for years.

Over the subsequent decades, a diverse spectrum of other partners have contributed unique interpretations to the Vuitton roster—but the monogram has remained, sometimes hidden, sometimes prominently displayed. The sheer breadth of options makes it challenging to make a decision.

Are Louis Vuitton Bags a Good Investment?

Take excellent care of your most fabulous Louis Vuitton bag, and it may prove to be a wise investment. LV's costs often rise by 2% to 25% every year, depending on the style and season. Because the rise primarily applies to famous models, you might sell your classic Alma for precisely what you spent in a few years, or even more if you maintain it in excellent shape.

According to Forbes, Louis Vuitton was the most valuable luxury brand in 2019. Along with the fact that its bags appreciate value over time, LV is a fantastic brand to invest in.

So, without further ado, these are some of Louis Vuitton's most iconic designs.

Speedy

The Speedy, Louis Vuitton's most recognizable handbag, comes in a wide range of sizes and with a wide array of embellishments, making it a must-have for every handbag collection.

It was designed in the 1930s as a tribute to travel. Perhaps in 1959, when Audrey Hepburn requested a smaller bag than the Keepall duffel, the Speedy 25 was conceived. The bag immediately became a success.

With its two separate zip pockets and super-soft rolling handles, The LV Speedy is the ideal travel companion, thanks to its instantly recognized design. You can't go wrong with the Speedy, one of the most popular resale items of all time.

Alma

If you're looking for a classic Louis Vuitton bag, this is your best bet. In 1934, it was referred to as the Art Deco original. In addition to the circular form, a unique baggage tag, and broad handles, the contrast base—added for increased durability at the corners—is a standout feature.

You can wear it as a crossbody on weekends, whereas you'd use the grab handles on workdays. You'll be able to store all your modern-day essentials in your Alma.

Neverfull

Since its debut in 2007, the Neverfull has become one of the brand's most sought-after designs because of its super-spacious design that can hold anything from a tablet to an ultralight laptop. If you're someone who needs to pack a lot of gear, this is a great option.

Louis Vuitton's signature bag, the Neverfull, has a value of roughly 91% resale value. It is possible to sell a monogram of Louis Vuitton Neverfull in excellent condition and with its original tags for as much as 96% of its initial value.

Boite Chapeau

The LV Boite Chapeau is a reimagining of the traditional hatbox that is instantly recognizable. Collectors all around the world are clamoring for this bag. Belt bag, shoulder bag, and crossbody are all ways you can wear them. Plus, its tiny size makes it ideal for excursions to the mall and other outings.

This piece's structural form lends itself to a wide range of outfits. Wear it along with your favorite jeans during the day and a dressy outfit at night. Depending on your preferences, you may go for a big, small, or compact Louis Vuitton bag.

Keepall

Louis Vuitton's Keepall bag has been accompanying globetrotters since 1930, and it's still going strong today. The nearly cylindrical form of this duffel bag means you'll have plenty of storage. Think luxurious vacations with your Louis Vuitton Keepall, which has shown to be a reliable companion on every journey.

According to your selection, the specific measurements and other details may differ. A wide range of sizes is available, depending on your preference. A removable crossbody strap and the brand's characteristic padlock are standard features.

Noé

Gaston-Louis Vuitton invented the Noé bag after a champagne manufacturer requested him to build a bag big enough to carry five bottles of champagne. This bucket bag, first introduced by Louis Vuitton in 1932, is a timeless classic.

Since its inception, this bag has been a best-seller and can be seen in many prestigious handbag collections.

The stylish bucket bag is more than capable of holding a bottle of bubbly, thanks to its bonded interior and generous bucket form. This is one of LV's most laid-back designs, a genuine "put on and go bag."

Capucines

The Capucines handbag was produced in 2013 to homage to the brand's first-ever Paris shop on Rue des Capucines. Trapezoid-shaped Louis Vuitton bags are ordinary, but this one has a glittering symbol in the center. The Capucines' handles are full-grain leather and crocodile leather, inspired by the brand's ancient trunks.

There are two ways you may wear the Capucines: either with the flap open to expose a Monogram Flower or with the flap closed to hide the famous monogram.

Pochette Accesoires

The Pochette Accessoires is a tiny but powerful handbag with a traditional baguette-style that can hold all of your everyday needs as well as a night out. It's available in classic colors, including Monogram Canvas and Damier Azur Canvas.
