What’s small, cute and makes for the perfect homage to Monsieur Louis Vuitton’s travel legacy? Well, you’re looking right at it, the Valisette Verticale created by Nicolas Ghesquière for the French luxury house’s Fall-Winter 2019 collection, otherwise known as the chic little handbag that’s shaped like a trunk. Essentially a vertical version of the Mini Luggage that you’ve read about previously over here, but there’s just something about the elongated profile that makes it absolutely desirable and frankly one that’s a one-up from the conventional handbag silhouettes you’re already familiar with.
Available in a single size, the 18.5 cm by 14.5 cm bag opens to a roomy interior that’s separated by central gusseted compartment. It even comes with 3 card slots tucked within so you don’t have to carry an additional wallet, giving you extra space for your makeup essentials, a pair of sunnies and a handy pocket charger. And if you’re wondering, yes, this one fits an #iPhone11ProMax, so that’s one more requirement checked off the list.
And once you’ve zipped the bag shut, you can choose to carry it in one of several options. One, via the rigid top handle like a chic handbag. Two, turn it to the side and cradle it like a clutch. Or three, attach the accompanying strap and sling it across the body as you please. The versatile piece comes in either Monogram Canvas or Damier Colors and is priced at SGD3800 each. The good news? You can purchase the one in Monogram Canvas online over here, and have it delivered to you in no time at all. Alternatively, you can always head down to a boutique in Singapore and take this lovely piece home with you.
