Louis Vuitton unveiled its Cruise 2025 collection in the stunning Hypostyle Room of Antoni Gaudi’s Park Güell in Barcelona. Nicolas Ghesquiere once again collaborated with set designer James Chinlund on the scenography, creating an impressive display.

The show kicked off with models adorned in sand-tone beige tailoring, offering a nod to the understated elegance of the 80s, and a hefty dose of contemporary Spanish flair – think strong shoulders and asymmetrical hemlines. As with most of Ghesquiere’s collections, texture took center stage, with lace, sequins, feathers, and dramatic puffball skirts, echoing the era’s penchant for bold styles.

Shifting the focus to the bags, Louis Vuitton breathed new life into iconic pieces like the GO-14 and NéoNoé Bucket Bag, while introducing fresh designs. Texture remained a key element in the accessory lineup, with glossy leathers, tweeds, and a hint of exotic materials throughout.

Let’s take a closer look at the bags. . .
Double Zip Handbag
Introducing a new silhouette from Louis Vuitton: a half-moon, two-part pouch bag. With a curved design reminiscent of the iconic Alma, this double-zip bag features a short detachable shoulder strap. Crafted in what appears to be a metallic high-shine coated Epi leather finish, the new style was showcased in icy blue and hot pink. Additionally, it also featured in classic Monogram canvas with black leather trim and black Monogram-embossed puffy semi-patent leather.

Surène Tote
Is the Surène bag making a comeback? The previously discontinued Surène Tote has been refreshed for 2025. Maintaining its effortless tote design, the new version features similar chain shoulder straps and supple Monogram construction. However, this iteration forgoes leather shoulder pads in favor of full-chain straps and includes a luggage tag detail at the center front.
Spotted on the runway in PM and MM sizes, the new Surène comes in classic Monogram canvas as well as a soft black leather version trimmed with canvas.

Bucket Bag
It’s not Muria, Bella, Atlantis, or the NéoNoé, but one thing is certain – it’s a new bucket bag style.
Combining elements of the Bella with a hint of Side Trunk flair, it features reinforced leather corners and rivet detailing. The chunky chain handle, reminiscent of Bella’s leather and metal mix, adds a substantial feel to this iteration. Seen in vibrant tan knitted Damier Ebene, Monogram Reverse, and black Monogram-embossed puffy lambskin variations on the runway.

Camera Box
While the Camera Box remained untouched by animal prints in LV’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection, it underwent a transformation for Cruise 2025. Now, reimagined in an abstract leopard print design, it adds a wild touch to the lineup.

Trunks
No LV show would be complete without the iconic trunks. For Cruise 2025, there’s a spotlight on smaller variations. From the petite yet elegant Speedy Trunk first showcased in the Fall Winter 2023 show to the beloved Petite Malle, reimagined in black and white tweed, and animal print.
Furthermore, Louis Vuitton expands its exotic skin lineup with the introduction of the Mini Trunk crafted from the ultra-luxurious Crocodilien Matte leather, boasting a similar aesthetic to Hermès’ highly coveted Himalaya bags.
Additionally, the Petite Malle was shown in black lizard skin leather.

The NéoNoé Bucket Bag looks like the Fendi origami tote…makes me wonder if the factories making these bags in Italy submit designs to the fashion houses, who tweak the design for production. How does everyone basically end up with a variation of a theme ie Prada, Fendi, Hermes all ended up presenting cowboy boots? Or do their junior designers all hang out in the same bars and talk about what they want to do for the season?
OMG!!! I’M IN LOVE EITH THEM ALLLLLLL!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fugly as fuck his shelf life has expired the bags look like two cosmetic pouches put together with a strap. And the clothes look just ugly and unwearable
