Luxury Nerd Corner:
One of Louis Vuitton Epi Leather’s more underrated styles, the Saint Jacques, embodies chic French style .A favorite from the 1990s, it’s also the only bag on this list that hasn’t ever come in a Monogram version.
The original Saint Jacques was discontinued in 2007, though Louis Vuitton later revived the bag in 2015. The revival’s shape was slightly different, featuring an open top instead of a zipper. Like all of the Epi leather bags, the original Saint Jacques is incredibly popular on the secondary market.
Louis Vuitton Epi leather is one of the most underrated materials in the brand’s line-up. However, that changed in 2024 with the signature material having a renaissance nearly 40 years after the iconic material was introduced into the brand’s rotation, becoming the first permanent leather line for the Maison.
Though the line launched in 1985, Epi leather’s roots date back to the 1920s when it was used on luggage during the mid-20th century. Known formally as Epi leather, the material is dyed leather that is then printed with the unique three-dimensional Epi pattern, creating micro-textured leather. Epi leather is finished with a topcoat matching the leather’s color, locking in whatever hue is used. The process is detailed and meticulous, ensuring unmatched quality and craft; the textured leather offers an ideal mix of timelessness and durability.
Louis Vuitton offers some of its best bags in Epi leather, and while they have a classic appeal, they are also chic and of the moment. Epi leather is an excellent option for everyday use thanks to its ability to withstand wear and tear. Still, it also oozes a certain understated elegance, two things that don’t always go hand in hand. Classic yet modern, an Epi leather bag will never go out of style, remaining relevant for generations to come.
