Louis Vuitton is the ultimate travel brand – forget Tumi and Valextra (just for a moment). The provenance of a vintage Louis Vuitton trunk could tell the story of modern man. From sleepy nights on the Orient Express to her first, first class flight with champagne consumed in copious amounts at high altitudes. Silk petticoats on through to blue jeans, avec le stretch. Louis Vuitton has been at by my side through the ages – if I were like, a hundred years old.
They’re the kind of brand, and I’ve said this before, that gets infinitely better and better until you just can’t handle it you feel like your heart is going to burst into tiny little LV monogrammed bits with excitement. That’s how I felt when I heard the news of the Louis Vuitton Lockit resurrection earlier this week. Karlie Kloss was the first to wear the bag – with initials stamped on the cloche, followed by Reese Witherspoon, and then me. Just kidding. I do wonder who will be the chosen fashion blogger to debut the bag on a conspicuous, OOTD post on Instagram. Aimee? Chiara? Leandra?
It’s still not available to the public but Louis Vuitton has released a campaign video of Michelle Williams, who waxes poetic on the topic of becoming, or falling in love with, a character. It is beautiful. The veau cachemire of the Soft Lockit Bag has me falling in love with thing already. I really thought my next purchase would be a mini Alma in Epi Leather but now I’m thinking I should just elbow my way through W bag territory and graduate on the summit of Mount Lockit. As with any Louis Vuitton handbag, it’s worth the voyage.
Started with an accessories bag, now we here.
