Louis Vuitton first released the Onthego tote early last Spring and almost immediately it was sold out. The bag became a hit very early on, and unsurprisingly Louis Vuitton released other versions of the bag, which captured fans due to its eye-catching, oversized monogram print. Not to mention, the size of the bag was refreshing at a time when mini and micro bags are the norm.
At the same time, the thing that drew consumers in also turned some customers off, and many of you referred to the tote as over the top and too much. While this new version does feature Louis Vuitton’s iconic monogram print in its giant form (just like prior versions of the bag), the all leather monochrome version is a bit less “obviously Louis Vuitton”.
Featured in Louis Vuitton’s stunning embossed leather, the Monogram Empreinte Onthego is currently available in two colors—Creme and Noir. This super-stylish oversized tote is perfect to take you from work to play and beyond. And for the first time ever, Monogram Empreinte is offered in Louis Vuitton’s new giant Monogram.
The Onthego is loosely designed after the iconic Louis Vuitton Sac Plat, which was initially launched in 1968. The Onthego is essentially a hybrid design, that also pulls inspiration from the House’s large shopping bags. Designed with enough space to hold a laptop or work files, the new leather version makes the perfect classy and sleek weekday companion. The original canvas Onthego retails for $2,480 while the new leather version is $2,950.
Limited quantities are now exclusively available online for pre-launch. As with most other pre-launch styles of late, this new release is sure to sell out fast so if this bag caught your eye, snag one now.
For once, LV didn’t go crazy pricing this bag. Usually the canvas to leather conversion sets you back at least $1K, at the very least. Not bad for an all leather bag. Very good and reasonable, actually.
I like this better than the canvas version because it’s not so in-your-face but I prefer the smaller embossing…not a fan of the super large LV…I think it will look dated after a while.
Maybe, but I hope not. I bought it in the black version and it’s been “out of stock” for about a week. It is really quite stunning and more beautiful in person.
I’m curious how these ads always filter through onto this blog? To say they are annoying gives them too much credit. Is there a way to eliminate them?
It’s been an ongoing battle of Disqus vs this spam for several years now. I do my best to delete it as quickly as it appears.
Thank you, it sounds like it’s frustrating for you, as well!
The black one really looks beautiful. Congratulations
Thank you, that’s so kind of you!
I like the shape of the bag (simple tote) but I despise the giant logo. Not my style at all.
This bag reminds me of the Prada Galleria. I prefer the Prada to this one as it also has a shoulder/crossbody strap and two side zips. Perfect for work. This bag is nice just not for me.
LOVE. But I’m going to wait and see whether the giant monogram has staying power.
Who dictates “staying power”? If I love a bag, I purchase it, and wear it for years. I’ll be damn what the current trend is or what any “celebrity” or “influencer”, etc. carries. Personally, I love the big logo and purchased the tote and it’s beautiful! Do what makes you happy…that’s all that matters! ?
I love how structured this bag is. I hope it can stay that way over time unlike other empreinte bags
I actually love the slightly crumpled look of a bag after using it for a while. To each her own 🙂
Can you explain what happens to LV empreinte leather bags? Do they start to sag over time? IMO many bags start to lose their shape and thus require some type of stuffing inside. Is this what you are referencing or is it something else? My worry is that I purchased this tote and I don’t want it to look ridiculously misshapen in a year or two. Thx!
Meh…. wouldn’t shell out >$3K (with tax) for it, especially with the giant logo that will look dated in a few years.
I love the giant mono on the canvas and the leather. It’s beautiful.
Absolutely gorgeous. Love the jumbo pattern and the colours of both of these bags. Even though it’s clearly LV it’s subtle – not SCREAMING. This is definitely a nice directional push I am highly enjoying. This fabric will look great on a lot of their pieces – can’t wait to see more. I have to say I would buy this way before I bought Diors Book tote – sorry Dior!
