While Louis Vuitton offers distinct handbag collections for women and men, fashion knows no boundaries. Carry a bag from either side of the store. We’re celebrating the best of both worlds and highlighting the standout pieces from the men’s and women’s groupings. So whether you’re expanding your lineup or starting your LV journey – check out these top picks.
Women’s Collection
With an origin story firmly rooted in travel and travel bags, it was only natural that the heritage Maison ventured into women’s handbags. In the 1930s Louis Vuitton introduced the now iconic Speedy as a compact travel staple, that ultimately became its initial handbag, at least in smaller sizes. The Speedy may have been first, but it is far from the last, as Louis Vuitton continuously updates and revises its handbag lineup.

Crafted from luxurious-grained calfskin and lined with soft suede, the Low Key Hobo showcases a refined, yet understated design. It eschews overt branding in favor of a discrete heat-stamped logo and an engraved padlock detail.

Men’s Collection
Turning now to the men’s side of the boutiques, Louis Vuitton’s men’s collection boasts a rich legacy and transformative evolution. The launch of Louis Vuitton’s menswear line in 2004, under Marc Jacobs’ leadership, marked a significant expansion for the brand. This move reshaped Louis Vuitton’s fashion narrative by introducing a dedicated line of men’s accessories and clothing. Jacobs’ successors, Kim Jones, and the late Virgil Abloh, furthered this evolution, with Abloh famously blurring the lines between men’s and women’s collections. Today, Pharrell Williams leads the men’s collection with an innovative and dynamic approach, reinventing classics and introducing fresh designs that continue to push the boundaries of high fashion.
