Louis Vuitton Handbags and Purses

Authentic Louis Vuitton bags — including the brand’s new and vintage handbags and purses, crossbody bags, shoulder bags and tote bags — are distinctive and sumptuous, made of top-notch leathers and materials. The legendary house is a world leader in luxury fashion heralded for creative exploration, ingenuity and bold designs.

Louis Vuitton was founded in Paris in 1854 as a luggage company that produced stackable and rectangular trunks. The brand eventually expanded, and the first iconic LV Monogram pattern appeared on its luggage in 1896. Today, the famous Monogram canvas is found on many styles of original Louis Vuitton handbags, travel bags and accessories, and the logo plays a role in determining if an LV bag is real.

Part of knowing how to spot a fake Louis Vuitton handbag pertains to the logo. You can be sure that the brand takes the greatest care with its presentation, and there will be no tilting of the logo or smudging on its legendary bags. And although Louis Vuitton may use different linings for different collections of its handbags, Monogram canvas bags are generally lined in brown cotton and Damier Ebene Canvas bags are historically lined in red microfiber. Stitching is important, too — expect perfection when it comes to the stitching on an authentic Louis Vuitton bag. Anything less won’t leave the workshop floor. For example, on authentic Louis Vuitton Alma, Speedy and Neverfull bags there will be five stitches across each of the tabs where the handles are secured.

Some iconic signature Louis Vuitton bags include the Speedy, Steamer and Keepall. When introduced, in 1932, Louis Vuitton’s coated-canvas Speedy was aimed at a travel-savvy elite crowd. In 1965, Audrey Hepburn requested a smaller version, and the Speedy 25 was born.

Starting in 1997, the firm brought out several variations on the Speedy, with seasonal updates in color and surface decoration. Over the years, Louis Vuitton has earned accolades (and gained new fans) for partnerships that meld fashion with art. Notably, a collaboration with Stephen Sprouse resulted in a graffiti version, which debuted in 2000 and was reissued in 2009. This cooperative model has become a mainstay of the venerable brand, whose creative partners have ranged from artists Richard Price, Jeff Koons and Urs Fischer to fashion icon Grace Coddington. And the legacy was carried on by the late Virgil Abloh, who took over as men’s artistic director in 2018.

Find Rare and Vintage Handbags, Shoulder Bags, Clutches and Other Bags and Purses on 1stDibs

An integral part of fashion, handbags and purses have been indispensable accessories ever since we began to carry around personal items. Level of craftsmanship, style and shape matters — from coin purses in ancient Greece to early 20th-century opera bags and onward, handbags have evolved considerably over the years to meet our needs and desires, whether or not you happen to be prioritizing functionality over a flashy exterior.

Once, a single “It” handbag ruled each fashion season. No more. Today, handbag lovers are savvier and have a wider range of shopping options. Nevertheless, classic bags still rule.

“It is not a fashion bag — it is a statement bag,” says Mightychic's Debra Kent of Hermès's widely beloved accessories. “When you carry an iconic Hermès bagBirkin, Kelly, Constance — no one knows how long you have been into this culture or if you are a newbie. Your status is validated immediately.”

First released in 1997, Fendi's Baguette rose to fame along with Carrie Bradshaw, the Sex and the City character portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker. Recently, the design has seen such a resurgence in popularity that Fendi has reissued it.

They are part of design history, so owning a handbag has meaning. As New York–based fashion historian Sarah C. Byrd says, “You have made the choice to invest in this piece because you understand the value of it in the past and in the future to come.”

From a 1980s Chanel black leather quilted mini buckle bag to the rare Hermès Birkin 30cm Himalayan with diamond hardware to a range of 19th century bags, find a rich variety of vintage and designer handbags and purses spanning numerous brands on 1stDibs — seasonal “It” designation no longer needed.

    To clean any water marks or dirt stains from the Vachetta leather on your Louis Vuitton bag, use baby wipes that are free from oil, alcohol and fragrance.

Allow the bag to dry naturally before wearing it.

The first two characters of the code refer to the manufacturing location and are either two letters or a letter and a number. Next, you should find four numbers. The first and third tell you the month of the manufacturing date, while the second and fourth numbers indicate the manufacturing numerical date. For example, March 20 would appear as "0230." Newer wallets have microchips for authenticating. A customer service representative at a Louis Vuitton retail store can scan the microchip for you to determine authenticity.
