Louis Vuitton Introduces the Express Bag for Fall/Winter 2025–2026

Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2025–2026 collection captures the romance of travel—not through passports or departure gates, but through train platforms, fleeting glances, and the rhythm of railway journeys. At the center of this nostalgic narrative is the House’s newest design: the Express bag.

Conceived by Artistic Director of Women’s Collections, Nicolas Ghesquière, the Express is more than a new silhouette—it’s a modern homage to motion, memory, and meticulous design. “Express” wasn’t chosen arbitrarily; it revives the original name of the 1930s Speedy bag, anchoring this debut in a storied past while looking decisively toward the future.

Runway Elegance With the New Express Bag

A Soft Structure Built for Sophisticated Motion

In true Louis Vuitton fashion, the Express is crafted to accompany life on the move—elegant yet adaptable, structured yet soft. Its supple body construction and refined bands nod subtly to the iconic Keepall, marrying heritage with fresh function. The grained leather and velvet calfskin amplify the tactile experience, lending each piece a luxurious resilience designed to endure.

Signature Louis Vuitton details appear throughout: Monogram Canvas on the handles and key bell, gold-tone padlock securing the double-zip closure, and a jacquard Monogram lining—each element reinforcing the House’s design DNA.

Versatility, Refined

In keeping with the brand’s pursuit of effortless luxury, the Express offers multiple carrying options thanks to its variety of handles and a double strap. Whether held in hand, perched on the elbow, slung over the shoulder, or worn crossbody, it adapts to movement with grace.

Available in three sizes, the bag also arrives in a sophisticated color palette: Black, Hazelnut, Mahogany, Taupe, and a distinctive two-tone Ivory and Olympe Blue. It’s a selection that leans into quiet luxury, favoring nuanced tones that complement every wardrobe without demanding attention.

A Companion for Today’s Traveler

Monogram-Strapped Detail Embodies Heritage in Motion

Available beginning August 1st, 2025, the Express is more than a fashion statement. It’s a daily companion—engineered with elegance, purpose, and a whisper of nostalgia. For Louis Vuitton, the journey isn’t just about where you’re going. It’s about what you carry with you along the way.

As the House continues to explore new frontiers while honoring its roots, the Express arrives not simply as a bag, but as a tribute to timeless design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and the stories we carry.
