Louis Vuitton Cruises In With A Biker Messenger Bag & Chrome Bottle
By Nicole Rodrigues, 29 May 2023
Louis Vuitton is taking the edgy aesthetics of biker-chic with the practicality of a messenger bag, catering to riders and style-conscious individuals alike with its newest automotive-inspired accessory.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Biker Messenger Bag showcases a sleek design that pays homage to the storage compartments found in classic automobiles. The use of cowhide leather and durable canvas materials ensures both durability and sophistication. It’s a testament to the design influences of the late Virgil Abloh, whose vision continues to shape Louis Vuitton’s iconic creations.
One striking feature of the bag is the eye-catching neon orange holder, designed to encase a silver chrome water bottle securely. Adorned with the iconic Damier print, this water bottle adds a touch of luxury to the overall design.
Interestingly, this design concept harkens back to the early years of the Louis Vuitton label when Georges Vuitton, the founder’s son, expressed a profound passion for automobiles. Drawing inspiration from his love for cars, he skillfully incorporated automotive design elements into pieces tailored for the brand.
The Biker Messenger Bag and its accompanying Bottle Holder are scheduled to be available at Louis Vuitton stores and online retailers in the coming weeks. Fashion enthusiasts can soon get their hands on this accessory at a retail price of US$4,750.
