Founded in 1884 as a purveyor of luggage in Paris, Louis Vuitton® has grown and evolved into one of the world’s foremost luxury fashion houses. The classic checkerboard Damier was the first print designed in 1888, followed by the now iconic signature Monogram in 1986 which quickly rose to fame among elite clientele. With this rise in prominence, the brand caught the eye of Gabrielle Chanel and in 1925 Louis Vuitton® designed a dome-shaped handbag meant for personal use, rather than travel, exclusively for Chanel.
With the success of its smaller goods, Louis Vuitton® expanded its product line to include handbags and soft luggage such as the Keepall duffel bag and the Speedy handbag in 1930, and the Noe bucket bag in 1932 designed to transport bottles of champagne in style. By 1934, Chanel finally allowed the brand to mass produce her bag for the public, now called the Alma. The demand for these bags was extraordinary, so much so that they are still made and sold in a myriad of materials and sizes to this day.
Our collection includes a variety of Speedy handbags, small pochettes, and accessories.
