For handbag lovers, the Louis Vuitton fashion show is one of the most anticipated of Paris Fashion Week. Unlike many other design houses that show at PFW, Louis Vuitton is unique because the brand started as a travel goods and handbag company and then RTW was introduced later on—versus the other way around. The construction of Vuitton bags is unparalleled, and Vuitton’s rich history coupled with designer Nicolas Ghesquiere’s artistic vision makes for a highly anticipated collection season after season.
Though there were some monogram bags to be seen, the collection as a whole wasn’t completely monogram heavy, however it was full of mini bags. Ghesquiere introduced new versions of the Mini Luggage BB Bag, which was introduced on the Spring-Summer 2019 runway. These new designs are a play on the traditional Vuitton Damier canvas, and feature a bold color-blocked design. Exotics were also at play here, with a stunning burgundy croc appearing on the Petite Malle, and a cube-like bag. Small pillowy versions of the Twist bag were also seen as well as a very wearable small saddle bag, which looks similar to the Chantilly Lock Bag. View all the bags from the runway below.

I remember them went big on the small bags back in S/S 2011 and it was a big failure, the mini bags didn’t really start until FENDI brought it into runway shows then even inspired these nano bags! Not for me though, need a bag bigger than my phone
Bag #19 I love it.
what a mess of epic proportion!
Nice collection! Wanting 18 & 19 ?
The mini Stratos luggage is amazing! It’s my favorite bag in the collection. I also really like the Arche bag. It’s a beauty in real life!
Other than 19 and the smaller version are the only ones I like.
I really like these! They are gorgeous!
pass for me, but love the Virgil collection 10000000x better!
I find it odd they showed number 21 again considering it’s already out for SS19.
It’s a smaller size.
It’s smaller than this?

The first one. It is basic as am I and I like it.
Hopefully some of these newer canvas patterns will make their way to speedys? Aren’t we due for something exciting in that department?
I liked most of the bag’s with their outfits. (Well, not keen on that giant sized black & yellow checked look! ?) I’m in love with the whole look of #1! No giant sized, in your face logos, either! ? I didn’t like the giant sized bags. Nope! They’re half my size! The Itty bitty mini suitcase is adorable – more for display than use, though. I liked that most of this collection is not the typical checked momogramed look (though now, we have tiny puffed leather checks). But it sounds like I’m the minority on this. Don’t like #19 at all! I really like the outfits, though!
Some of these are like “what the heck were they thinking?”
