Louis Vuitton drops a new bag, the puffy GO-14
Louis Vuitton’s newest bag, the GO-14 launches in stores today, and here's what we know about the bag: The GO-14 bag is one of Nicolas Ghesquière’s first designs – hence its coded name: Ghesquière October 2014, the date it first appeared on the SS15 runway for the debut of the Women’s Artistic Director at Louis Vuitton. It is re-emerging in 2023 in full spirit with a unique characteristic: malletage.
Inspired by the original malletage found inside Louis Vuitton’s hard-sided luggage, the GO-14 is a roomy, curvy, sensual bag in quilted lambskin. The creative process requires more than 20 different steps, with a more complex savoir faire than traditional quilting to ensure the malletage’s roundness. It also features an emblematic lock and a new jewel chain that is as supple as a gold necklace.
Shop well-loved on Vestiaire Collective
The GO-14 is available in 3 sizes: GM (S$10,400), MM (S$9,650) and Micro (S$6,150), and available in classic and seasonal colours.
