All the Louis Vuitton bags created by Nicolas Ghesquière: the most beautiful It-Bags
Crossbody, chain, small or oversized. In 2024, the creative director celebrates a decade of ultra-chic styles, iconic runway shows and unforgettable additions to the Louis Vuitton archive bags.
During his ten-year tenure as the creative helm of Louis Vuitton 's womenswear line, creative director Nicolas Ghesquière has left a lasting impression on the fashion industry, rivaling some of the most iconic names in the history of the French fashion house and beyond. While his years at Balenciaga were certainly memorable, the youthful yet ultra-chic style he brought to the Louis Vuitton runways sparked widespread trends, redefining contemporary dress and bringing the French fashion house into the twenty-first century.
The designer’s first collection for the French luxury house marked a momentous occasion, and to celebrate, Ghesquière introduced a bag that has quickly become a modern classic among Louis Vuitton handbag fans. The GO-14 bag is a quilted leather bag that has since been reimagined in numerous colourways and materials, remaining a staple of the house’s accessories. Equally suited to dramatic runway appearances and everyday wear, Ghesquière brought a powerful new vision of femininity to accessories, a vision that has been echoed in every subsequent collection.
Another (now legendary) piece to join the venerable Louis Vuitton handbag family is the Coussin bag . Medium-sized and featuring an elegant chain strap, it demonstrates the timeless appeal of a quilted bag, both in recent denim versions and in classic leather versions in neutral tones, as seen on the runway when it debuted.
