Etoile Luxury Vintage 2025 2026 Louis Vuittonl Designer Bags

 

 The iconic brand Louis Vuitton has, of course, been around for many years. With such a rich  history, the brand comes with its fair share of fun facts that not everyone knows—especially  about the brand itself and its bags. In this blog, I’ll share some of these interesting facts to  make you even more obsessed with this iconic brand.

The Neverfull

Let’s start with one of Louis Vuitton’s most famous bags: the Neverfull. Many owners of this bag  might already know this fun fact, but it’s not always obvious to everyone that the Neverfull can  actually be worn inside out. That’s right—this bag allows you to showcase the “interior” design  as well. 

You can choose from a variety of inner lining colors, including Sari Red, Pondichery Pink, Gaston  Blue, and Saffran Yellow. Plenty of options to match your style, wouldn’t you agree? On top of  that, the Neverfull has been reimagined in multiple collections, giving you endless options to  pick from. 

In other words, since the bag is reversible, it’s like you’re getting two bags for the price of one,  right?

The Noé

The Louis Vuitton Noé first debuted in1932. Its design was originally created to carry five  bottles of champagne. The bag was made to hold four bottles upright and one upside down.  Key features of the bag include a sturdy base, a drawstring closure, and, of course, the iconic  Monogram Canvas print. 

This timeless bag is available in various sizes, such as the Petit Noé and Noé BB, making it  versatile and suitable for every occasion.

The Pochette

Bucket Bag, which as the name suggests resembles the shape of a bucket. This open-top bag became a signature piece of the brand,  designed with long, wide straps, making it easy to carry both over the shoulder and by hand. In 1968, Louis Vuitton introduced a bag called the Bag, which as the name suggests resembles the shape of a bucket. This open-top bag became a signature piece of the brand,  designed with long, wide straps, making it easy to carry both over the shoulder and by hand. 

Originally, the Bucket Bag was sold with a Pochette, a small pouch that accompanied the bag.  However, when the Pochette began to be sold separately, it became an instant hit. Today, the  Pochette remains one of Louis Vuitton’s most sought-after items. 

Over the years, the Bucket Bag has been released in numerous models and exclusive  collaborations. It is also featured in the latest Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami collection,  showcasing its enduring appeal.

 The Steamer

Louis Vuitton began in 1854 as a company specializing in luggage. The founder, Louis Vuitton  himself, was a passionate craftsman known for creating custom-made travel trunks. One of the  brand’s revolutionary contributions to travel was the introduction of flat-topped suitcases in an era when trunks typically had rounded tops. This innovation allowed the suitcases to be  stacked, making them ideal for travel. 

Today, the first models of Louis Vuitton suitcases are highly coveted and sell for extraordinary  sums at auctions. 

In addition to their trunks, Louis Vuitton’s first official bag was the Steamer Bag, introduced in  1901. This unique bag was designed as a complement to the travel trunks and served as a  luxury duffle bag for clothes and personal items. The Steamer Bag was a game-changer,  combining practicality with high-end craftsmanship.
