The ideal vintage Louis Vuitton bag for men and woman

Did you know Louis Vuitton often named their bags and items after places or people? The Louis Vuitton Danube is no exception. The bag is named after the second longest river in Europe, which is compared with its very long shoulder drop.

The classic Danube 

The Louis Vuitton Danube is one of the Louis Vuitton classics we almost always have in our vintage collection. The Danube's squared shape is reminiscent of classic camera bags, that mostly serves a functional purpose. It is a bag that is perfect for everyday use with all your small essentials like your phone, wallet and more. It is the ideal Louis Vuitton bag for women and men.

It is a small bag with a height of 22 centimeters, a width of 16 centimeters and a depth of 10 centimeters. It has a pocket on the inside, on the front outside and closes with a zipper. The strap is adjustable.

New or Vintage Louis Vuitton Danube bags?

The Louis Vuitton Danube has been around since the 1980s, so by owning one you can truly say you own a vintage piece! However, the Louis Vuitton Danube Messenger bag has seen some re-editions over the years. Think of the Louis Vuitton X Supreme collaboration, for example. Next to this, Virgil Abloh decided to reintroduce the Danube Messenger Bag for the Fall/Winter 2019 collection. The Danube got a stylish update with the introduction of new materials, other use of hardware and colorful additions, making it a true fashion piece.
