A real collectors item

The Looping is one of Louis Vuitton's most popular bags ever. Louis Vuitton no longer produces the bags, so you are very very lucky if you manage to get one. It has become even more popular, the bag is now a real collector's item. Louis Vuitton aficionados regularly browse second-hand designer stores, hoping the Looping bag is still available. The price hardly matters, a true collector's item is priceless. We are happy to tell you everything about this classic Louis Vuitton Looping bag!

The history of the Louis Vuitton Looping 

The Looping was released in 2002. A few years later Louis Vuitton stopped producing this bag. The Louis Vuitton Looping owes its name from the famous structured 'loop' silhouette shoulder strap. 

 

The different sizes of the Louis Vuitton Looping 

The Looping is available in three different sizes: Looping PM (small), Looping MM (medium) and Looping GM (big). The measurements are as follows:

PM MM GM
28 x 17 x 8 cm 24 x 21 x 10 cm 28 x 31 x 10 cm

The design of the Louis Vuitton Looping

The bag is most known for its curved handle made of Vachetta cowhide leather and its elegant and classy style. A true ladies bag! The inside of the Looping MM and GM is wonderfully soft and feels like cuddly suede. The actual name of this material is Alcantara Microfiber. The inside of a Louis Vuitton Looping PM is often made of brown cotton canvas.

The Looping comes in Monogram Canvas and Damier Ebene. The Monogram Canvas version is more popular. Found or own a Louis Vuitton Looping in Damier Ebene? Lucky you! The Damier Ebene version is even rarer, far fewer have been produced.

The Looping looks slightly different in every size. The MM and GM have a sleek design with a zipper. The design of the PM is more playful due to the flap, which closes with a magnetic button. 

The sizes PM and MM are classic shoulder bags and can be considered the perfect bag for everyday use, perfect for a city stroll! The Louis Vuitton Looping GM fits your laptop and documents, making this bag the perfect work bag. The zipper ensures that everything is safely in the bag, which is not completely superfluous with a laptop.

If you ever manage to get the Looping, you are lucky! The value of the Looping will not drop and the collectors will envy you. Is the Looping already shining in your closet? You're even more lucky (and we're a bit jealous - we mean very very jealous).

We get the Louis Vuitton Looping every now and then, but the bag is also quickly gone. Fortunately, we have other Louis Vuitton gems ready to sparkle in your closet. View our unique Louis Vuitton collection.

With love,
