Louis Vuitton icon bags: what to choose for your first introduction to the brand

The name of the fashion house Louis Vuitton is one of the first things that comes to mind when talking about high luxury. Collectors and fans around the world dream of getting their hands on a vintage, exclusive or new product from this brand. For newcomers, it can be difficult to navigate the more than a century-old history of the house, the lines of bags, their sizes and variations.

Let's look at the famous creations of Louis Vuitton: the features of the models, their value and uniqueness.

Luxury connoisseurs highlight seven key models from Louis Vuitton:

• Speedy
• Neverfull
• Pochette
• Noe
• Petite Malle
• Pochette Metis
• Alma

Let's take a closer look at each of them.

This thing has been in fashion since the 1930s, when it was first introduced and became one of the first Louis Vuitton bags. Over the course of a century, Vuitton has reissued it in a variety of materials, prints, and sizes. You can find both an elegant size 25 bag for a social event and a roomy size 40 bag for everyday use.

The Speedy is becoming more expensive every year: it is not subject to wear and tear, as it is made of durable and strong material. The signature material “Louis Vuitton canvas” is patented and the technology of its creation is kept a closely guarded secret. Products created in past decades are becoming desirable for collectors and people who have decided to invest in luxury.

This trapezoidal bag appeared in 2007. The size range allows you to choose a bag for your needs: it can even hold a laptop or a bulky sweater. At the same time, the product is very light, does not look bulky and can become quite compact thanks to the side clasp — a useful feature for flights and long trips by car.

It is in high demand and is considered a great option for beginner collectors. Due to its high demand, the Pochette can be hard to find, but compared to other models, this one is the most affordable. It also increases in price every year, making it a great investment option.

This model has an interesting history: in the 1930s, a fashion house received an order to create a bag that could hold five bottles of champagne. The client was a famous brand — as a result of this collaboration, the world received an amazing product. On the one hand, it is quite shapeless, and on the other — still elegant and very roomy.

Unique against the background of classic bags, the Petite Malle model translates as "little chest". A miniature option for those who want to stand out even against the background of the best branded products.

The model with a handle and a shoulder strap is suitable for daily walks, conferences or office visits. At first, after their appearance, Metis bags were produced only in canvas material, and later, leather and leather-canvas versions began to appear. The shoulder strap can be replaced with a chain strap from the miniature Micro Metis version, if desired.

The bright model of an unusual shape appeared in 1934 — Louis Vuitton designed it especially for Coco Chanel. Since then, it has undergone many changes, was released in various materials and colors: from graphic to rainbow, glossy or decorated with flowers. In the Alma line, every connoisseur of luxury will find the one for herself.

With the departure of European boutiques, it has become almost impossible to find new products from fashion houses in Russia. There are offers from private sellers on social networks, but they cannot guarantee authenticity, which is so important in the world of luxury goods.

If your love for luxury doesn't allow you to accept the lack of boutiques, pay attention to the luxury resale marketplace PRELOVED CLUB. This is a place where collectors and owners of large wardrobes give a second life to things that have become unnecessary over time. Things with history, but in perfect condition, as well as absolutely new.

The PRELOVED CLUB team is also passionate about unique luxury bags, and therefore pays great attention to authentication. Items that raise doubts are not included in the catalog.
