The Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette Accessoires was one of the hottest new bag releases of 2019. Spotted on celebs, fashion folk and bag lovers alike, the hybrid cross-body bag became an instant hit. It immediately sold out across the world, garnering thousand-name long waitlists in the meantime. It is still unavailable on the brand’s website to this day, nearly 10 months after its release.
Now, Louis Vuitton has released a new hybrid bag in an ultra-cool combination of Monogram Eclipse and Monogram Eclipse Reverse canvas. Though this bag is marketed as men’s, it’s not just for the boys. It has long been begged by LV lovers for the brand to make women’s bags in the sleek Monogram Eclipse color way, but as bags are becoming less and less gender specific, bag lovers can very well borrow from the boys anyway.
The newest multi-bag from Louis Vuitton is called the Trio Messenger bag, and like the Multi Pochette, the bag consists of 3 separate compartments, which speaks to its name. Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram motif is seen throughout in monochrome tone-on-tone shades of gray accented by silver hardware.
One main compartment functions as a traditional messenger bag while there is also a removable zippered pocket and coin purse. Additionally, like the Multi Pochette, the bag features a fabric strap with Louis Vuitton embroidery. The bag is currently available exclusively online only via Louis Vuitton (though it’s currently sold out) and retails for $1,960.
Sold out before its out. ugh….I’m not chasing this bag either. I really like it.
I actually like this one more because of the rectangular coin purse. The monogram eclipse makes it look sleek and, dare I say, sexy. It’s less utilitarian visually.
Also, if LV were smart, it would make this strap in a multitude of colors.
I have always said that I did not like this bag because it looked utilitarian. This version? I would definitely buy.
The men’s version of the Prada multi is great, too. https://tinyurl.com/y7by4qkr
It’s amazing how little $1,960 actually buys. Also, LV always creates online obsolescence, why? Is it an attempt to make consumers “crave” something that is unattainable? Or, maybe they count on the consumer to make a purchase just to carry the “coveted” LV label? If that’s it I say “No, thanks”. I’m not buying into this hyped up purchasing philosophy.
Nothing frustrates me more than their strategy right now. Giving them free to influencers and celebrities to show off then make it super difficult to get, then resulting in crazy resell prices online. What good does it do to the people who really want them?
