8 Staple Louis Vuitton Bags Celebrities Will Always Carry

When you think of the most established
luxury fashion brands, there are probably a select few that
instantly pop in your mind. Let me guess—Louis Vuitton is one of
them, yes? Thought so. It really does make perfect sense: Since its
inception in the 1800s (a
little history lesson here), the leading international fashion
house has been synonymous with the most covetable
items—especially its monogrammed
bags.

Given the brand’s storied history, Louis Vuitton has designed
quite the range of It bags that truly have withstood the test of
time. In fact, I recently uncovered an image of Audrey Hepburn from
1966 carrying her iteration of the beloved Speedy bag—and it got
me thinking. What other iconic bags have been celebrity favorites
over the last several decades? Naturally, I had to do a little
digging.

Ahead you’ll find a timeline of sorts that highlights just a
few (there are many) of the staple Louis Vuitton I’ve seen
A-listers carry for years. What you’ll notice is that all of the
silhouettes you’ll see—even the older styles—are still highly
relevant today (talk about investments).

Keep scrolling to learn more. And, if you’re looking to invest
in a new Louis Vuitton bag, shop each style featured either
vintage, preowned, or brand-new.

The
Speedy bag is one of the most popular Louis Vuitton bags in
existence. Believe it or not, the Speedy 25 size launched when
Audrey Hepburn personally requested it for her collection.

One
of the most iconic Louis Vuitton silhouettes, the duffle has
withstood the test of time from its first introduction decades
ago thanks to its stylish and practical nature (you can basically
fit a week’s worth of travel inside). While Naomi Campbell opted
for a blue iteration of the bag here, the classic monogram will
always be a strong investment.

There
are many backpack silhouettes on the market now, but this classic
style was often slung over the shoulders of the coolest celebs.
Case in point: Mariah Carey here in ’99.

While
it’s always been popular, this pint-size bag has been
infiltrating throughout the celeb set for years and years as a
small but statement-making accessory to complement a night-out
look.

You
probably spot this tote bag everywhere. As the name describes, you
can basically fit your entire life inside (it will never get full),
as Reese Witherspoon highlighted here out and about in 2014.

As
Jennifer Aniston showcased during a Louis Vuitton runway show a few
years ago, this small bag (launched in 2014 by Nicolas Ghesquière,
who modeled it after classic Louis Vuitton trunks) has become a
celebrity go-to for events.

Gaston-Louis
Vuitton (a descendent of Louis Vuitton) designed this bucket
silhouette in 1932 after a Champagne producer asked him to develop
a functional bag to carry bottles of bubbly. Today, Julianne Moore
still carries the must-have.
