Back-to-Back Style: Our Favorite Handbag Alternatives

Since debuting in the late 1800s, the Louis Vuitton fashion house has been setting worldwide standards for style and sophistication. For decades, Louis Vuitton handbags have been in high demand among thousands of fashion-conscious consumers. A woman who carries a Louis Vuitton purse conveys an image of class and prestige, especially when the ensemble is completed with a coordinating Louis Vuitton wallet and Louis Vuitton sunglasses.

Some of the most popular Louis Vuitton handbag styles include:

• The legendary monogram canvas line, distinguished by the universally recognizable “LV” floral logo

• The burgundy and beige checkerboard pattern of the Damier Canvas line

• The red and beige striped canvas collection

• The drawstring Noe bag, with its distinguished black and beige monogrammed exterior

• The monogram Vernis handbags, crafted from patent calfskin

For those seeking an alternative to the standard Louis Vuitton purses, a Louis Vuitton backpack serves as a fresh, contemporary option. The fashion house has offered several appealing designer backpacks that cater to the modern woman on the go, and many of them are also proudly carried by men. Below are some of our favorites:

• Damier Canvas Soho Backpack: This fun, flirty backpack combines the classic elements of the Damier Louis Vuitton handbag with an updated styling. It provides plenty of space for all of your everyday essentials: cosmetics bag, wallet, and even a mini umbrella. Contents are secured by the convenient drawstring closure and a front snap.

• Montsouris GM Backpack: Often seen on the shoulders of today’s hottest celebrities—both male and female—this chic backpack provides more space than a traditional shoulder bag, without adding cumbersome bulk. It’s spacious enough to hold smaller books, making it popular among fashion-conscious college students.

• Christopher Backpack: A favorite among male celebrities, this generously proportioned Louis Vuitton backpack is worn by the likes of Kanye West, Usher, and other fashion-conscious music moguls. The side pockets let you keep cell phones, keys, and other everyday essentials within easy reach.

• Sac a Dos PM Backpack: Combining vintage styling with modern comforts and conveniences, this monogram denim backpack is accented with supple cowhide leather trim. Thanks to careful stonewashing and nuances in fabric color, this highly unique Louis Vuitton backpack imparts a wonderfully worn-in, comfy essence from the very first day you wear it. Gleaming brass hardware and meticulous topstitching add to the designer details of this delightful Louis Vuitton purse alternative.

• Bosphore Backpack: Multiple zippered pockets and a sleek, trendy design make this a great city bag. The flap closure is secured by a leather strap with buckle. The classic monogram canvas pays homage to the fashion house’s elegant roots.
