Louis Vuitton Steamer Bag – Monogram Canvas & Natural Leather
The Louis Vuitton Steamer bag is one of the house’s most emblematic models. Designed at the beginning of the 20th century as a cabin bag, this vintage model in Monogram canvas with natural cowhide trim embodies the elegance and robustness of French nomadic luxury. Rare and sought-after, it combines functionality, authenticity and timeless style.
A historic piece by Louis Vuitton
Created in 1901, the Steamer Bag was conceived as a complement to the large rigid trunks: flexible, lightweight, and designed to hold personal belongings to be kept on hand during steamer voyages. It has become a Louis Vuitton classic, prized today for its singular design and prestigious heritage.
This vintage model features original, tightly woven Monogram canvas and natural cowhide leather reinforcements and handles with a richly patinated grain. The combination of noble materials and utilitarian details, such as the metal padlock clasp and wide shoulder strap, make this a piece of raw, authentic charm.
