The Definitive Guide: 6 New Louis Vuitton Classic Monogram Bags You Need in Your Collection
Monogram is SO back.
The early 2020s saw a lull for logo lovers, with Louis Vuitton focusing less on its storied Monogram canvas and more on its leather offerings. Contrary to concern, Monogram isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, and the mid-2020s have seen a resurgence of the classic fabric.
You’re not mistaken if you’ve noticed a rise in Louis Vuitton Monogram bags. We, too, have noticed an uptick in new logo releases. There are a few reasons for this reversal. For starters, fashion’s obsession with nostalgia and Y2K fashion is as prominent as ever, and logos as a whole are experiencing a renaissance (thank you, Murakami).
Plus, as luxury continues to see a slowdown, the Maison is likely to rely on sales of Monogram canvas, which are typically less costly than its leather bags. Nicolas Ghesquiere was hired to update and modernize consumer perception of Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram, and now, in his second decade at the House, it’s clear he’s done just that.
While handbag lovers know (and love) Monogram classics like the Speedy, Neverfull, Noé, Alma, and Onthego, there is a new cohort of classic Monogram bags that are not to be missed. We’re here to unpack the 6 new Monogram bags that have the power to become new classics for the Maison.
Louis Vuitton Slouchy
Sophisticated yet functional, the Slouchy bag is LV’s answer to the shoulder bag boom of the 2020s. Offering a bit of nostalgia with a hint of modernity, this bag feels both of the moment and classic at the same time. That’s the thing with Louis Vuitton Monogram—while its popularity may ebb and flow, it will never go out of style. The Slouchy is offered in two sizes: PM and MM.
Louis Vuitton CarryAll
We dubbed this bag the Neverfull’s chic little sister, and we meant it. The CarryAll was first released in 2023, arriving in PM and MM sizes, with the CarryAll BB recently joining the family. Roomy and functional (especially in the larger size), it offers the same grab-and-go appeal as the iconic Neverfull but is far less ubiquitous and a bit more elevated.
Louis Vuitton Hide Away
The LV Hide Away MM is the newest addition to the Monogram canvas family. Described as “a refined work-to-weekend” bag, it’s part structured with reinforced leather corners and part slouchy. Immediately, you’ll notice that the shoulder strap is removable, so you could also carry this under the arm and tap into the oversized clutch trend. The dual use, maybe, and I mean maybe, makes up for its hefty price tag.
Louis Vuitton Diane Satchel
Like every other luxury house, Louis Vuitton continues to tap into its archives for inspiration. The Diane Bag revives a classic Louis Vuitton bag from the ’90s. It’s the perfect example of old meets new, combining elements from the archival design with contemporary details.
Louis Vuitton All In Bag
Like LV Monogram, bucket bags are also coming back, and the All In combines the two effortlessly. The strap is fully adjustable and can be worn long for shoulder or crossbody wear or short for hand-carry. Simple from the front, the details on the bag’s side, like the leather hangtag and lock, add a fun touch.
Louis Vuitton Piano Bag
Louis Vuitton itself describes the Piano bag as “a new Monogram icon in the making,” and truthfully, they’re not far off! The design itself is incredibly simple, and it’s truly one of those bags that will remain in your closet for years. Debuting last fall as part of Ghesquière’s 10-year celebratory collection, it is a modern refresh of an older, highly beloved model.
