Sometimes a new idea is not entirely new. Sometimes you can take two concepts and put them together to create a new way of seeing things. Perhaps that’s how the Louis Vuitton City Steamer One Handle Bag is created for the Fall winter 2017 Collection. You see, not long ago we introduced the City Steamer Bag, which is now on its way to become the house’s classic. After that, Louis Vuitton releases the One Handle Bag, inspired by the historic trunkmaker. Now both of these bags have been melted together, clever isn’t?
The Design
The Louis Vuitton City Steamer One Handle Bag is just like the original City Steamer Bag. It’s a tote bag with the signature LV lock crafted in the center. The shape is the same as well, but there are also differences.
One of the biggest changes is the front flap and the iconic Torron handle. There is just ONE handle while the original City Steamer has two. The front flap and the Torron handle are both copied from the Louis Vuitton One Handle Bag.
Another surprising new addition is the chain for shoulder carry. It’s unexpected because the original City Steamer Bag as well as the One Handle Bag is both designed with leather strap. This chain short, but beautiful and adds an extra touch of luxury to the overall look. On the back of the bag, you will also find a zipped compartment in case you need instant access to your essentials. Behind the front flap, there is also a pocket with turnlock and loop for padlock.
This bag is made from Veau Perle, which is durable calf leather.
The Interior
One advantage of the City Steamer Bag is the well-structured and spacious interior. Inside you will find one large compartment and one double pocket to store your stuff.
The Sizes And Prices
This bag measures 9.8’ x 8.3’ x 3.9’ (L x H x W) inches and is priced at $4850 USD, $5800 CAD, €3400 euro, £3150 GBP, $35000 HKD, ¥32500 CNY, ¥540000 JPY via Louis Vuitton boutiques.
