Step into the future with Louis Vuitton’s Fall-Winter 2024 collection, celebrating Nicolas Ghesquière’s decade-long journey with the French fashion powerhouse. This season, the collection boldly redefines convention, presenting innovative silhouettes and a forward-thinking aesthetic. A standout element is the revival of the Trianon gray shade, paying homage to Louis Vuitton’s pre-Monogram trunk-making era. Originally used on the brand’s earliest trunks from 1858 to around 1876, LV propels Trianon Gray into a new era.

Let’s take a closer look at the standout stars of the Fall-Winter 2024 collection. . .

CarryAll Cargo PM

Looking for a refreshing alternative to the Neverfull? The CarryAll Cargo PM, often hailed as a more practical and versatile option, has become a must-have hobo bag from Louis Vuitton.

Lockit BB

Drawing inspiration from the 1960s Knick-Knack bag, the Lockit BB retains the original’s curved top and oval trims. Crafted from coated Monogram canvas and accented with Vachetta leather, this bag features the signature padlock closure.

Modernized for today, the Lockit BB offers versatile carrying options. It includes a detachable chain, and an adjustable leather shoulder strap, and can also be hand-held using the top handles.

Exclusively available in the petite BB size, it measures 5.9 x 7.5 x 2.8 inches, making it ideal for transitioning seamlessly from day to night.

The Lockit BB retails for $2,400.

City Steamer Soft

The City Steamer bag isn’t just heating up the scene in Pharrell Williams’ latest Louis Vuitton men’s collection. It’s also getting a fresh update for Fall/Winter 2024, reimagined by Nicolas Ghesquière.

Originally inspired by luggage designed for cruise ships in 1901, the Louis Vuitton Steamer has been revitalized as a soft and supple tote, ideal for everyday use. The City Steamer Soft boasts a sleek and refined silhouette, crafted from calfskin leather with suede trim for a touch of textural contrast. It’s finished with a new ridged gold-tone padlock and a hot-stamped LV circle, and those double handles might just make you wonder – is this LV’s answer to the Birkin?

Available in two sizes, the MM measures 11.8 x 14.2 x 6.7 inches, while the larger GM comes in at 13.8 x 16.5 x 8.3 inches. Both bags feature a spacious interior, five protective metal bottom studs, and a hook fastening closure. Inside, there’s a removable Monogram pouch for storing your valuables. Additionally, each bag comes with a removable, adjustable shoulder strap, allowing for versatile wear as a shoulder or crossbody bag.

The MM size is available in two colorways – Gris Trianon, and Mastic Cream – while the GM size also comes in Black. The City Steamer Soft MM retails for $6,950, and the GM size is $9,300 – edging into Birkin territory (the Birkin 25 starts at $11,400), but offering a distinct LV twist.

Lucky Trunk

A true standout from the Fall-Winter 2024 runway, the new Lucky Trunk embodies Nicolas Ghesquière’s signature style with its distinctive slouchy silhouette, drawing inspiration from the Side Trunk.

Crafted from the iconic Monogram canvas, the Lucky Trunk references the Maison’s trunk-making heritage with its metallic frames and classic gold-toned lock. However, this design departs from tradition by swapping the usual Vachetta leather for sleek black cowhide trim, adding a contemporary edge.

With a streamlined design measuring 15 x 9.1 x 0.4 inches, the Lucky Trunk can be carried over the shoulder or hand-held, thanks to its removable leather and chain straps.

It retails for $3,700.

Slim Trunk

The Slim Trunk reimagines classic LV luggage into a more elegant and compact design, moving away from the bulkier silhouette of Ghesquière’s Cruise 2023 Side Trunk. True to its name, this bag embraces a sleek, streamlined form.

Despite introducing a fresh silhouette, this bag retains key elements from the Side Trunk, such as the S-lock closure and reinforced metallic corners. Instead of the traditional LV Monogram, it’s crafted from luxuriously smooth calf leather and finished with silver-tone hardware for a modern, edgy look.

Measuring 9.1 x 4.7 x 1.6 inches, the Slim Trunk boasts an on-trend East-West elongated design. Its slim profile allows for comfortable wear on the shoulder or under the arm, thanks to the removable, adjustable shoulder strap and chain.

Available in a range of distinctly Parisian colorways – Gris Trianon, Vanilla, and Black – the Slim Trunk retails for $3,850.

Piano

Louis Vuitton strikes a new chord with the reimagined Piano handbag, poised to become a Monogram icon. Offering a fresh note within LV’s extensive tote bag lineup, the Piano harmonizes heritage style with contemporary flair.

Staying true to its vintage roots, the modern Piano features a sharp silhouette crafted from Monogram canvas, accented by signature triangular Vachetta leather side panels. Subtle updates, like asymmetrical and adjustable shoulder straps, give the design a distinctive touch.

Measuring 9.8 x 10.6 x 4.5 inches, the Piano is a practical yet chic option for carrying everyday essentials, secured with a convenient zip closure. Designed to sit comfortably on the shoulder or be carried by hand, the Piano offers a great alternative to popular choices like the Neverfull.
