Quietly thriving in the shadows for decades, Loro Piana began picking up steam in 2013 with a major acquisition by LVMH. While Loro Piana has always been the elite option for superb, high-quality luxury basics, it’s received mainstream acclaim in recent years.
While this can partly be attributed to the post-pandemic obsession with stealth wealth and the old-money aesthetic that Loro Piana so perfectly encapsulates, it’s also due to its LVMH backing.
While once Loro Piana shied away from major marketing campaigns in favor of an, if you know, you know, appeal, in recent years, it has emerged from the shadows, cementing itself as an undeniable signifier of wealth and class.
While its ready-to-wear is beloved for materials of impeccable quality and an expert level of craft, Loro Piana’s bags echo a similar sentiment, and the brand continues to expand on its offerings.
The latest lady to join the Loro Piana lineup arrives for the Fall 2025 season, seamlessly melding chic style with the old-money elegance of Loro Piana. Plus, there is the added bonus of utilitarian functionality—without compromising the understated style that Loro Piana fans know and love.
Introducing the Loro Piana Needle Bag
Designed with curved lines, the Needle bag is Loro Piana’s take on the classic bowling bag. Its lines are soft and free-flowing, inspired by the traditional cases used to carry knitting needles.
In its over a century in business, Loro Piana has been known for its fabrics, and this bag honors that heritage and legacy. Signature details further play on House history, like a gilded lock with LP initials and a vintage-inspired key fob.
While the bowling-style bag is designed to be hand-carried by its top handle strap, both small and medium versions have the option of an adjustable shoulder strap. Inside, you’ll find a suede lining and a leather pouch for added functionality.
Crafted of calfskin leather, the Needle Bag arrives in muted neutral colors and a bright golden yellow. Pricing is $3,970 for the small and $4,425 for the medium. Discover more via Loro Piana.

Stella McCartney Ryder dupe. But both are nice!
Good looking bag. Shame they don’t offer the small in the smooth leather.
