The Bag Affair
Louis Vuitton, When Luxury Was Born From Travel
Long before Louis Vuitton was fashion, it was travel. In 1854, Louis Vuitton created bags designed for a world in transformation. While others created objects, he created solutions. Functional, intelligent, adapted to movement.
In this eighth episode of The Bag Affair, Eliza tells the story behind the monogram, the Speedy, and a maison that turned functionality into identity. And why some bags don't just accompany journeys, they accompany lives.
What began as functionality became identity.
