Coveted Handbags
Founded in 1854, French maison Louis Vuitton is the standard of opulent fashion and prestige. With a history that spans decades, and an array of coveted styles, let us narrow it down to some of the brand’s most sought-after handbag styles: the Speedy, Neverfull, and Alma.
Louis Vuitton Handbags: A History
Neverfull
Introduced in 2007, the Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote rapidly emerged as a fashion masterpiece. Inspired by the ever-stylish and versatile demands of modern life, the Neverfull captures the essence of practical elegance. Originally conceived as the ultimate everyday companion, its name reflects the bag’s nearly limitless capacity, seamlessly adapting to the dynamic needs of the wearer. Over the years, the Neverfull has undergone changes in materials and limited edition designs, effortlessly navigating the ever-shifting currents of the fashion world. Adorning the arms of style icons such as Miranda Kerr, Reese Witherspoon, and Rihanna, the Louis Vuitton Neverfull has solidified itself as an enduring emblem of sophistication and functionality.
Speedy
Introduced in 1930, the Louis Vuitton Speedy bag was crafted to meet the fast-paced lifestyle of its time. Originally designed as a travel companion, the bag’s name reflects its swift adaptability to the needs of the modern traveler. Throughout its storied history, the LV Speedy has seen evolutions in materials, sizes, and collaborations with renowned artists, ensuring its relevance in every era. Worn by fashion influencers such as Audrey Hepburn, Alexa Chung, and Emma Stone, the Speedy stands as a symbol of enduring style and a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation and sophistication over the past nine decades.
Alma
Debuting in 1934, the Alma handbag sprang from a serendipitous encounter between Gaston-Louis Vuitton and Paris’s Alma Bridge. Captivated by the bridge’s refined lines and timeless beauty, Gaston-Louis envisioned a bag that mirrored these qualities. Originally dubbed the “Squire,” its name eventually evolved to Alma, a tribute to the iconic Parisian landmark. Through the years, the Alma has undergone different transformations, embracing new materials, and adapting to the evolving landscape of fashion while maintaining its core essence. Worn by celebrities like Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Kim Kardashian, the Alma has transcended eras, solidifying its status as a symbol of prestige.
