Millesime Leather Collection

Louis Vuitton invites you to the heart of the French mountains in the Massif Central to discover the finest quality calfskin at the Domaine des Massifs, where a sustainable approach is fostered. For this new capsule, Louis Vuitton reinterpreted several iconic shapes including the Noé, Alma, Speedy, and a new Steamer bag, showcasing a natural tan color, ultra-supple leather and a LV embossed signature.

Specialized Craftsmanship

Featuring a wonderfully smooth exterior, each bag’s unique tan color is obtained through a specific tanning process in Tuscany, Italy, that uses a mix of mineral and vegetal tanning, ensuring the suppleness and naturalness of the skin. The leather from the new High-End Collection remains natural, allowing the bags to develop a patina over time where they are handled the most, bearing the marks of its owner’s personal history.

Steamer

Inspired by the archive Steamer designed in the early 1900s for transatlantic voyages, the new Steamer combines the trunk-making codes of the Maison with contemporary signatures established by Nicolas Ghesquière. Featuring timeless lines, the new side adjustable brackets reinterpret the dual strap closure system of its vintage predecessor. The new Steamer also features a metallic V-shaped signature on its closure, in reference to the print sported by the Steamer from Gaston-Louis Vuitton’s era.

Noé

Originally created in 1932 as a means of transporting up to five champagne bottles in a useful, yet stylish way, the Noé was named after the well-known biblical hero from Noah’s Ark. Crafted in Millesime leather from the Domaine des Massifs and iconic aged natural cowhide leather trimmings, the bag still retains its elegance, supple shape, and generous volume.

Care Instructions and Services

Designed to enjoy for many years, with a natural patina that develops over time, we recommend special steps to properly care for the delicate Millesime leather. It is advised not to use any cleaning products, but rather wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth, especially in case of contact with water. For optimal protection, we suggest that you store the bag in its felt case in a dry place, at room temperature and away from light. For any light surface scratches, massage the leather with your finger immediately after they appear and for any stains or deeper scratches, we invite you to bring it back to a Louis Vuitton store to be maintained by the Maison’s specialized artisans. As an additional means to preserve your products, Louis Vuitton offers a biannual personalized pampering service.The Noé bag as it evolves through its lifetime: (from left) brand new, worn for a few months, and after being pampered in the Maison’s atelier.
