Louis Vuitton: how to hack the price increases on top bag styles

Inflation: hitting more than just your supermarket shop

We love/don't love being the bearer of bad news: your favourite designer bags are getting more expensive (again). Louis Vuitton recently announced it would be increasing prices to offset input costs - this comes after two price increases in 2021. The good news is: has never been a better time to buy a high-end bag in the pre-owned market! We have profiled 4 of the top Louis Vuitton styles on our homepage to make it easy to hunt down the perfect second hand piece. Click through from the images below, save to your wishlist and use our comparison feature to get the best price. Easy.

The very first Louis Vuitton bag ever offered, the Speedy was first available in the 1930's and in a 30cm length. The bag was relatively unknown until Audrey Hepburn asked for a smaller version of the Keepall in the 1950's and so a 25cm speedy was born. A brand new Speedy bought in store will have a lock and key included, so keep an eye out for that if you're buying resale. 

The Noe was originally designed by the grandson of the brand's founder for men to hold bottles of champagne. An original size can fit five bottles *please drink responsibly* but now comes in a range of sizes, patterns and materials. 

Ah, the Neverfull. We all know a friend (maybe we are that friend) that always has one on their shoulder, stocked with everything you could ever need or want. This bag didn't come on to the scene until 2007, but it's durability, size and reversibility (yes, it's reversible!) has made it quickly popular. 

Translating into "hat box" the Boite Chapeau is the newest of these 4, only available in the last few years. It can be worn as a clutch, shoulder or cross body and comes in a number of sizes, making it incredibly versatile. However, the complexity of its construction and intricate detailing make it one of the more expensive bags on the LV roster.
