STYLE Edit: Louis Vuitton’s youthful, vibrant New Wave bag collection will brighten up your day
Luxury brand’s colourful wave-shaped collection pays homage to 1980s new wave music with adjustable chains and ‘rainbow’ embroidered Vuitton name
The monogrammed trunk has been a luxury travel icon for more than a century – almost back to when the French fashion house Louis Vuitton was founded back in 1854.
For those looking to add to their travelling arsenal, or who are simply interested in a smaller, more functional update on the iconic trunks, the luxury brand has the answer with its youthful New Wave collection.
Staying true to its emphasis on “the Art of Travel”, Louis Vuitton has come up with a line of quirky, colourful retro-looking bags which are perfect as carry-ons.
Inspired by new wave music, which was popular in the 1980s, the collection shares the rock “spirit” of the music genre – featuring a unique wave-shaped body and an adjustable or removable handle with the name “Vuitton” embroidered in rainbow hues.
The brand has paid homage to the ’80s’ joyful and colourful culture with the bags’ fun, brightly coloured design, which is certain to bring a breath of fresh air to our daily routines.
Louis Vuitton is famous for its multi-functional designs – and this collection is no exception.
The large- and small-sized bags have multi-wear chains, making it more versatile to fit in different occasions.
