Louis Vuitton Handbag Clasps

BlogUncategorized

Louis Vuitton hardware on its handbags are fascinating. It is not about completely new inventions or designs, it is all about heritage. Many of the clasps we see on the latest collections today can also be seen on vintage handbags and trunks that were created a century ago, with an infusion of little new elements. It has been more than a week since my last blog post and I am excited to share with you the various Louis Vuitton handbag clasps today.

The House’s capability of upholding the brand and its historical value is what I admire the most. Although the undesired outcome (for the House) of creating durable, classic and gorgeous bags with extraordinary craftsmanship is bringing up the pre-loved market, this phenomenon also wonderfully testified that Louis Vuitton’s creations are timeless.

Let’s appreciate the images here like how we enjoy watching the Hermes scarves. Photos courtesy of Louis Vuitton; Yoogi’s Closet and The RealReal (for vintage).

Circle Signature

Louis Vuitton also calls this logo design as LV Circle. The new design on the left which can be seen on the flap and strap of Pont 9 handbag is a 1930s archive logo reinterpreted by Nicolas Ghesquiere, the Artistic Director of Women’s Collections.

The mini circle signature on a vintage Montaigne clutch bag (image on the right) made in year 1991 was much smaller in size compared to the left one. Both were similar in a different way. Isn’t it fascinating?

S-Lock Closure

This form of clasp looks a little bit complicated to operate but in fact it does not work as hard as it seem to be. Simply push the button at the left toward the centre to unlock.

Signature Twist-Lock

The signature twist-lock made me think of safe box – in order to unlock, one has to turn the dial. As the name suggested, you need to twist the front V to overlap with the rear V to unlock. This is the fun part you can get from Louis Vuitton handbags that were adorned with twist-locks.
