The story behind this Louis Vuitton Lockit bag
Created in 1958, the Lockit bag is one of Louis Vuitton’s historic models, directly inspired by the Maison’s trunk-making heritage. Its name and design refer to the padlock, an iconic symbol used since the 19th century to secure travel trunks. For the Fall–Winter 2011–2012 collection, Marc Jacobs, then Artistic Director, offered a bold reinterpretation of this classic by presenting it in shearling leather, bringing a more fashion-forward and wintery approach while respecting the model’s original codes.
