Luxury Nerd Corner:
The Louis Vuitton Noé Bucket Bag was originally made as a luggage-style piece for men in 1932, by Gaston-Louis Vuitton, the grandson of the French designer, as a custom order for a champagne producer who wanted a stylish bag to safely transport their bubbly.
The Louis Vuitton Noé Bucket Bag was strategically crafted to fit and carry five bottles – four upright bottles in the four corners of the bag, and one snuggly nestled upside-down in the center. The drawstring closure ensures that the bottles don't rattle and break.
The Noé was the first bucket bag to ever be designed and has since paved the way for many fashion houses and designers to introduce their own design of the bucket bag. The legacy of the Louis Vuitton Noé remains indisputable, from its ground-breaking depute to its timeless appeal. The exorbitant mark-ups of new releases of the Noé in contemporary collections has made vintage Noé Bucket Bags a popular search in the luxury resale market, where they can be purchased in good condition and at a significantly reduced cost.
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. If you’re looking to start your Epi leather collection, Louis Vuitton offers many current and vintage styles that have staying power.
