Louis Vuitton or LV, is a renowned French luxury fashion house specializing in fancy leather goods and apparels. The brand is synonymous with the monogram, damier ebene and damier azur prints which are well loved by its throngs of loyalists worldwide.
With the recent price increase, owning a piece of LV is not just about making a style statement or investment. The brand’s designs are a testament of craftsmanship that can be passed down to the next generation. Everyone, including their mothers, have at least one classic Speedy bag or Neverfull tote in their closet.
If you’re a beginner who’s thinking about splurging on LV, here are some practical small leather goods (SLGs). Doesn’t matter if it’s brand new or preloved, these pieces will surely rock your every outfit.
Key Cles
Don’t be fooled by this teeny pouch because it actually packs a lot. The Key Cles is compact enough to fit your coins, cash notes or cards. Its slender size is great for minimalists, and doesn’t take up space in your bag. Also, it makes for a great ‘grab and go’ piece whenever you’re out running errands. You can attach your car/house keys on the D-ring, or even hook it onto a bigger bag as a charm.
Toiletry Pouch
The Toiletry Pouch comes in three different sizes; 15, 19 and 26cm. Each size has their own functionality, fitting for your lifestyle needs. Although the main purpose of the pouch is for makeup and toiletries (given the name), most people even use it a clutch or crossbody bag for daily convenience. To convert it into a crossbody bag, just get an insert with rings (available online such as Etsy, Shopee or Lazada) and attach a long strap or chain.
Pochette Accessoires
The pochette features a short strap which can be carried as a wristlet or small shoulder bag, and is a convenient day-to-night accessory. I first laid my curious eyes on this piece after seeing Mean Girls’ queen bee, Regina George (played by Rachel McAdams) carrying the now discontinued Murakami pochette. Even though it’s hard to get your hands on the iconic collab (the preloved market is selling at jaw-dropping prices), you can still cop the fan-favorite classic version instead.
