For over 130 years, the Louis Vuitton Monogram has functioned as both protection and identity. Introduced in 1896 by Georges Vuitton, the canvas was developed to distinguish the house’s trunks from imitations at a time when travel goods were widely copied. Its graphic language, influenced by Japanese motifs and late-19th-century decorative arts, marked one of the earliest examples of a luxury house using design as a formal system of authentication.
As Louis Vuitton expanded from travel trunks into leather goods and handbags, the Monogram moved with it, adapting across formats without losing its original purpose. Rather than chasing seasonal reinvention, it has endured through consistency of construction, proportion, and use. Today, it anchors many of the house’s most recognisable designs. Scroll down your way through seven of Louis Vuitton’s bestselling bags, each shaped by function, craftsmanship, and a lineage that continues to inform modern luxury.
Neverfull MM
Crafted in coated Monogram canvas with natural cowhide-leather trim, the Neverfull MM is designed as a large, open-top tote with slim shoulder straps and adjustable side laces that allow the silhouette to expand or contract. The unstructured interior is finished with striped textile lining and includes a removable zippered pouch secured to a D-ring. The bag is intended for daily and travel use. The Neverfull MM is priced at €1,550 (Rs 1.39 lakh).
Pochette Accessoires
One of Louis Vuitton’s most enduring small leather goods, the Pochette Accessoires is defined by its compact, rectangular silhouette in Monogram canvas. It features a top zip closure, a removable leather strap, and a single unstructured compartment designed to carry essentials without excess. Originally conceived as an accessory pouch, it has evolved into a standalone bag while retaining its functional clarity. The Pochette Accessoires is priced at €1,390 (Rs 1.25 lakh).
Noé
Introduced in 1932, the Noé was originally designed to carry five bottles of champagne. It features a bucket silhouette crafted in Monogram canvas with a reinforced base, leather drawstring closure, and adjustable shoulder strap. The interior remains unpartitioned, preserving its utilitarian origins, while the soft structure allows flexibility in wear. The Noé is priced at €1,750 (Rs 1.58 lakh).
Alma BB
The Alma BB is defined by its structured, dome-shaped silhouette inspired by early 20th-century design. Crafted in Monogram canvas, it features rolled leather handles, a double-zip closure, reinforced corners, and a textile-lined interior with a flat pocket. A detachable leather strap allows for shoulder or crossbody wear, while a padlock and key bell complete the design. The Alma BB is priced at €1,600 (Rs 1.44 lakh).
High Rise Bumbag
Designed for hands-free wear, the High Rise Bumbag is crafted in Monogram canvas with leather trim and an adjustable strap that sits higher on the body than earlier LV bumbag styles. It features a zippered main compartment and an additional pocket for compact organisation, maintaining a streamlined, curved profile. The High Rise Bumbag is priced at €1,750 (Rs 1.58 lakh).
Tag Me Pouch
The Tag Me Pouch is a compact Monogram canvas accessory designed for streamlined storage. Finished with a zippered closure and minimal hardware, it is intended to carry small essentials such as cards, keys, and a phone. The pared-back design reflects Louis Vuitton’s recent focus on utility-driven accessories. The pouch is priced at €1,200 (Rs 1.08 lakh).
