Louis Vuitton bags
Fashion Bag
Louis Vuitton is one of the most storied luxury fashion houses, started in 1854 in Paris and quickly becoming iconic for its trunks before handbags.
Forty-two years later in 1896, Louis Vuitton’s son, Georges Vuitton, debuted the interlocking, floral-accented LV monogram following his ingenious single lock system invention on the label’s heritage trunks.

Since then, the LV logo has become one of the most recognizable and cherished worldwide, appearing on famous Louis Vuitton handbags like the Noé bucket bag, which originally debuted for men, the iconic travel Keepall, which debuted in 1930, and later the beloved Speedy, first called the Express.
It was actually Audrey Hepburn who requested a smaller-scale version of the Keepall weekender to use day to day, leading to the Speedy 25 featuring two top handles and a zippered closure with a roomy open interior.

Catherine Deneuve and Lauren Bacall were also early adopters of the bag. Today, modern versions are carried by Kim Kardashian West, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rihanna and the Hadid sisters, among others.
What’s more, the famous Louis Vuitton monogram is printed on a coated cotton canvas and the dark brown Damier, not leather as many presume.
This explains the material’s ability to withstand just about anything while looking great for decades, making it one of the most sound designer investments.
