This tote bag, originally released as a knockoff of Goyard's St. Louis bag in
2007 might actually be the most popular designer handbag in existence, at least
from what I've seen "in the wild"--that is, on the streets of metropolitan areas
and throughout international airports. Since its release, it's seen one major
redesign where they replaced the more ornate textile lining with a simpler
striped pattern (likely to save time/costs as this bag moved into higher volume
production).
Luckily, that seems to be the only significant "cost-cutting measure" they've
applied to the continued production of this item; it still features the (mostly)
decorative straps that hang down from the sides of the bag, but in a few certain
situations that call for it, such as carrying a large amount of smaller or lighter
objects, the straps can be cinched to shrink the opening and help secure what's
inside (at least a little bit).
In addition to the zippered pouch on one side of the interior, the bag also comes
with a flat pouch along with a leather strap that you can use to attach the pouch
to a D-ring mounted near the opening, or even just loop that strap back onto the
pouch itself to use as a clutch; I've never really used it for either of those
purposes, mine just sits at home nearly untouched while the bag itself is probably
the most used luxury product I own.
While I can't credit Louis Vuitton for having really "invented" anything since at
the end of the day, this is just a reusable tote bag that is nearly functionally
identical to something you could pick up at the grocery store for less than five
dollars, the craftsmanship (and admittedly, the branding) just inspires me to go
out of my way and actually make an effort to actually use a reusable shopping bag
on a regular basis instead of only when I can be bothered to rememeber to bring it
out of the house, to the car, before realizing I completely forgot about it after
I've already gotten to the grocery store.
