Louis Vuitton Bags & Luggage | Hello Fashion | Kate Young
I’ve always loved brands that check the boxes for both form and function. Louis Vuitton is definitely one of those brands. In this episode, I walk through the house’s evolution and the always-innovative yet always-practical designs that have made it the world’s number one luxury brand.
Naturally, I begin with M Louis Vuitton himself, who set the brand up for success with his invention of the first canvas trunk-what I’d call the invention of luggage as we know it today. I then delve into the influence of Vuitton’s son Georges, who took over the brand after his father’s death. Georges’s influence on the brand is incalculable to me: His careful consideration of women’s needs led to his creation of some of the house’s most iconic handbags, including the Speedy, the Keepall, the Neverfull, the Noe, the Alma, the Dauphine, and the Capucines. Finally, I discuss the house’s collaborations with artists, including Steven Sprouse, Takashi Murakami, and Fornasetti.
It’s incredible to me how Louis Vuitton has always stayed on trend through creativity, quirkiness, and forward-minded leadership. It’s a brand that’s literally rooted in innovation, and I can’t wait to see how it continues to evolve.

Another amazing and insightful video! ❤❤❤❤❤
The Speedy will always be my favorite. Something so nostalgic about it for me. All of the chic girls in high school had the speedy. And it was most often the Murakami monogram multicolor collection. But I was always drawn to the original. It's just timeless and classic. This was so insightful and fun to watch!! ❣
Welcome back Kate. This was a lovely deep dive into the early days of the company. Love your jacket for this video too 🤩
My first Keepall was the reissued Graffiti in orange, I was too young and fresh out off high-school when the Sprouse collection came out in 2001 and I loved it.
Happy that you're back. Your channel is like a breath of fresh air on KZhead.
