A Closer Look at the Louis Vuitton Mini Luggage Bag

Brand new for Spring 2019 this little bag is sure to be Vuitton's next big hit

I recently rediscovered my love for Louis Vuitton monogram, and ever since I’ve started to revisit the idea of adding another monogram piece to my bag collection. Louis Vuitton monogram is instantly recognizable around the world, and though some people are over the logo obsession, there’s no denying the rich history behind Louis Vuitton’s monogram canvas. Originally designed for travel, Louis Vuitton’s monogram canvas is incredibly well made and super durable. While the brand has a massive offering of classic monogram bags if I’m going to do a new monogram piece I’d like it to be something a bit more special. Enter the Louis Vuitton Mini Luggage Bag.

I loved this Mini Luggage Bag the minute I saw it on the Spring 2019 runway. For reasons unknown, I find smaller versions of things that are meant to be large insanely cute. Who wouldn’t want to tote around their belongings in a tiny bag inspired by the rich history of Louis Vuitton’s travel heritage? This bag was designed by Nicolas Ghesquière for the Spring-Summer 2019 runway show and it’s arguably the standout style from the SS19 collection.

The Mini Luggage bag was introduced in two versions for SS19. The bag is offered in classic monogram canvas with aged cowhide leather trim. The aged leather trim differs from the typical Vachetta leather in that it’s meant to look preworn or vintage, which mixes perfectly with the mini luggage shape of the bag. The bag also comes in a smooth calf leather which picks up the navy hue beautifully. It has a glossy aged cowhide leather trim and monogram reverse canvas detailing.

This bag may have the word mini in its name, but it’s refreshingly larger than most bags these days. With overall dimensions of 7.1″ H x 9.8″ W x 3.1″ D this bag is the perfect size to tote around everything you need for the day. A small water bottle, a notebook—even a snack—along with all of your usual necessities can all fit nicely. Inside, there are two slit pockets to help keep your belongings organized. This bag not only has a second strap option, but it has a third as well! The Mini Luggage Bag can be carried via the adorable top handle, worn over the shoulder, or hand carried with the mini chain strap. Both the longer leather strap as well as the shorter chain strap are detachable, but only the leather strap is adjustable. The monogram canvas version retails for $3,550, while the smooth leather version will set you back $3,950. Discover more via Louis Vuitton.
