Louis Vuitton Speedy
At the top of our list of the most popular luxury brands, Louis Vuitton will always be a household name. And this designated house icon is a perfect example. The Speedy was designed in response to advances in public transportation in 1930. Its compact design is lightweight and easy to carry. Its distinctive silhouette, rolled leather handles and engraved padlock embody the inherent luxury of this heritage fashion house.
Choose the original brown-on-brown Louis Vuitton monogram or the checkerboard canvas for the brand’s signature look. Opt for the black leather Bandouliere Speedy for an evening version of the traveler’s classic. Or go for the Bandouliere in royal blue and white for a mix of contemporary chic and historical significance.
Louis Vuitton Alma
Rumor has it that the Alma was designed for Coco Chanel. True or not, it is undisputed that the dome construction remains one of the most influential handbags in the world. Characterized by its structured silhouette, solid base and rolled double riveted handles, this timeless LV classic has been around since the 1930s and is not going anywhere anytime soon.
Named after the Alma Bridge in Paris, this Louis Vuitton designer bag evokes the bustle of city life. At the same time, it pauses to appreciate the finer things in life (like fashion!).
Louis Vuitton Neverfull
“Never full” — is that a challenge? We accept. It’s one of our favorite totes. This popular LV bag has a spacious interior, designed to hold a spare pair of shoes, plenty of snacks and maybe even a ukulele. Of course, the essentials in your daily life may be a little different. But whatever the case, we’d bet the Neverfull will live up to its name.
Made from supple canvas, the classically chic Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag features the brand’s iconic monogram or checkerboard prints. The roomy interior comes in several shades, from contemporary peony pink to timeless cherry red, as well as a versatile beige.
Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires
There’s nothing better than a mini 2000s pouch — unless you add the iconic LV monogram. Designed to sit halfway between a handbag and a clutch, this mini Louis Vuitton bag can hold all your essentials without adding extra bulk.
Louis Vuitton Capucines
Named after the fashion house’s first store on Rue Neuve-des-Capucines in Paris, this Louis Vuitton handbag elevates the brand’s luxury to a seductively understated French elegance. Its signature square silhouette is crafted from full-grain Taurillon leather.
It features a removable shoulder strap and two interior compartments. The instantly recognizable front flap can be worn inside or out, with the option of displaying an elegant monogram flower or an oversized LV monogram (a tough choice, we know).
Louis Vuitton Noe
Pair champagne with Louis Vuitton, and you know where to find us. This bucket bag, at once sturdy and elegant, is one of our favorite old-school Louis Vuitton styles for obvious reasons. Originally designed to solve a major social problem — transporting champagne bottles — its malleable shape, generous volume and drawstring embody the casual decadence of the era.
Choosing between checkerboard canvas and the luxury brand’s iconic monogram is no easy feat. Though we do love the oversized monogram for a slightly contemporary spin on an old-school classic.
Louis Vuitton Petite Malle
Inspired by the classic retro trunk, this miniature version of vintage Louis Vuitton bags is everything we love about this timeless brand. Although it won’t fit your weekend wardrobe, its compact design is deceptively spacious. And a variety of prints and colors each tell a unique story.
Louis Vuitton Dauphine
Reintroduced in the Spring-Summer 2019 collection, the Dauphine is the quintessence of the instantly recognizable 1970s version, but with a contemporary twist. With its flap closure and gold buckle, the sumptuous silhouette is a modern marriage of old-school romance and clean lines.

Loved by all for its contemporary, understated design, you can’t miss the LV lock, which, fittingly, twists to secure your belongings. A chunky gold chain speaks to its forward-thinking design.
Exuding classic, chic refinement, this versatile style moves effortlessly from day to night. And while the natural raffia silhouette is a quintessential addition to any capsule wardrobe, the “Since 1854” monogram proves that sometimes more is more.
Louis Vuitton Boite Chapeau
Take your traditional hat box, turn it into a bag and you get the Louis Vuitton Boite Chapeau. Though it no longer holds your hat, its round, boxy crossbody silhouette is surprisingly spacious.
Inspired by the brand’s travel heritage, the Louis Vuitton monogram bag pays tribute to the fashion house’s historical significance. The bright red version is a timeless take on the dopamine-dressing trend.
Louis Vuitton Looping
Released in 2002, the Looping will always remain one of our top Louis Vuitton handbags. And apparently, the rest of the world agrees. While the luxury house discontinued the minimalist style not long after it was born, resale prices skyrocketed and the everyday essential became a coveted wardrobe staple.
That’s how the Loop bag came to be, unveiled at the 2022 cruise show. This contemporary iteration of a much-loved classic features the signature arched handles paired with a new chic half-moon silhouette. Add a few gold chains here and there. And Louis Vuitton just took the luxury factor up a notch.
Louis Vuitton Keepall
Designed for spontaneous weekends and city escapes, the Keepall is a testament to the evolution of travel in the 1930s.

As we’d expect, these LV bags were designed with more than just convenience in mind. And stylish, alluring luggage is sure to get noticed in airports and train stations.

Combine the latest trends with LV’s historical significance, and you get the Louis Vuitton Coussin. Named after the French word for cushion, this decadent design is easy to spot thanks to its puffy lambskin silhouette. And because the luxury house embraces this season’s trends, it comes as no surprise that dopamine dressing is front and center in this avant-garde accessory. Expect to see your favorite millennial pinks and Gen Z greens — among timeless neutrals, of course.
The classic Coussin wallets are the perfect size for everyday essentials. The mini LV Pochette Coussin handbags are all you need for a night out.
Louis Vuitton Lockit
Inspired by the 1958 iteration, the Lockit embodies Louis Vuitton’s heritage. And while it was originally created as part of the iconic brand’s luggage collection, today it is adored as the ultimate everyday tote.
The elongated silhouette is elegant and effortless, with just the right amount of understated attitude. The roomy interior holds everything you need for your daily commute. And the sumptuous style evokes design history with a lock and luggage tag on the side.
A Brief History of Louis Vuitton
At the age of fourteen, Louis Vuitton left his small village in the Jura to escape a strict stepmother. At sixteen, he arrived in Paris, where he was offered an apprenticeship in box making and packing, a trade in which he worked for seventeen years. During that time, he established himself as one of the best in the business. In 1852, Empress Eugénie hired him as her personal box maker, bringing him into the world of royal and elite clientele.
In 1859, Louis Vuitton opened his first workshop. It was not long before he became known for his innovations in travel trunks and leather goods. At the time, the brand’s creations were revolutionary. Not only were they elegant and effortless, but its signature ingenious closure turned these forward-thinking suitcases into true treasure chests.
Decades later, Louis Vuitton remains one of the most popular luxury brands thanks to its timeless designs that pay tribute to its luggage heritage while setting new trends and creating fashion statements.
