Summer, in all its heat and haze, brings with it that familiar itch to leave. Whether it’s a spontaneous weekend escape or a one-way ticket into the unknown, this is the season where movement becomes a kind of ritual. Travel, at its best, isn’t just about where you’re going, it’s about how you get there, and even more importantly, what you’re carrying along the way. Enter the Louis Vuitton Express bag, a perfectly-timed ode to the spirit of travel.
Named after the original 1930’s Speedy, another now-iconic LV staple, the Express bag first came into our consciousness during the AW25 show, held at the iconic Gare du Nord station in Paris. As a whole, the collection worked to illustrate the poetic essence of travel with rubber macs and flower girl frocks. Paired with this functional bit of arm candy, designed by Nicolas Ghesquière and intended as a new signature, looks were elevated to possess a thick sense of wanderlust.
Crafted in grained leather and velvet calfskin, with monogram canvas on the handles and key bell, a gold-tone padlock securing a double-zip closure and a monogram jacquard lining, the Express seamlessly blends style with functionality. Coming in three different diverse sizes and a multitude of universally chic colours like taupe and black, it joins the maison’s family of soft bags. Featuring a variety of handles and a double strap, allowing it to be worn cross body, over the shoulder or hand-held, this is a bag for every occasion whether your on to go or at your destination.
Bags can often feel like the silent companion you can’t live without. They’re by your side through all the ebbs and flows of the day, keeping the necessities close and good style closer. And the Express? Well she’s already well on her way to becoming your new best friend.
