Attention, bag ladies, there’s a new tote in town. Meet Louis Vuitton’s W bag. Named after its lines, which create a W-like shape, the sizeable pocketbook features lots of structure, making it a piece that will work well through fall.
Though long anticipated, the W’s arrival took place in early July, and, as these things go, the LV squad has already formed search parties to help you lock down the elusive bag—as its debut left the bag flying off shelves. By calling into the Design District’s Louis Vuitton store you can get your own personal search started for this must-have accessory. So what makes the W the new it bag of the season? For starters, blended materials (leather meets traditional monogram or monogram in a tapestry-like effect), a shape that is a classic LV throwback with a modern-day twist and color combos that will stop you in your Italian leather shoes. Think Monogram Canvas and Cuir Orfevre (two-toned brown), Monogram Canvas and Veau Cachmire (black), Cuir Orfevre and Veau Vavhemire (grey), a funky Veau Cachemire with checker design and, my personal favorite, Cuir Orfevre and Veau Cachemire (pistachio). Definitely on trend of summer.
A peek inside lends views of endless pockets, nooks and crannies to stash your stuff— another essential for any vying “it” bag. Find the W in two sizes: PM (13 inches by 10.2 inches by 4.3 inches) and GM (15.7 inches by 11.8 inches by 6.7 inches). The collapsible sides are a throwback to LV’s Neverfull and can take the bag from big to a bit more manageable when you have less to tote. But with a bag this beautiful the bigger the better.
Prices for the W range from $3,700 to $5,150.
