Ever wondered if you can buy a Louis Vuitton bag for under £1000? For those interested in buying Louis Vuitton items but unsure if their budget allows, here is a list of items you can purchase for under £1,000. I understand they are still not the cheapest items out there, but I hope this list will help you find your favourite within your budget.
Are there any Louis Vuitton bags under £1000?
Well, the short answer is yes, but it depends on what “bag” means to you. If you’re thinking of a tote bag or a bag with a traditional handbag shape, then probably not.
The cheapest item you can buy and possibly use as a bag is the Mini Pochette Accessoires Pouch. It does have a chain handle, which distinguishes it from other pouches that do not have a handle or a clasp to hook a chain—in other words, those that are not meant to be used as a handbag.
Vanity Bag
Another option to consider is a vanity bag. Traditionally used for storing makeup products like lipsticks, vanity bags have become popular as handbags. One advantage of these bags is that, since they are designed to store beauty products, they are often washable. Louis Vuitton’s vanity bags, for instance, feature a washable coated canvas lining. Another benefit is their roomy box shape, which provides ample space. However, a downside is that they don’t come with a strap, unlike Chanel’s versions. Even if you attach a strap to the leather handle, it can be cumbersome to open and close the bag since it’s designed to be placed on a surface rather than carried on the shoulder. The Nice Nano Toiletry Bag costs £740, while the slightly larger Nice Mini Toiletry Bag is £850.
If you’re looking for pouches with straps beyond the Mini Pochette Accessoires Pouch, the Fold Me Pouch might be an option. It is priced just under £1,000—currently selling for £980.
Pouch
For those who simply want a pouch, Louis Vuitton offers many options, most of which are priced below £1,000. One of the most popular choices is the Cosmetic Pouch, which comes in three sizes. The largest, GM, measures 27 x 18 x 9 cm, while the smallest, PM, measures 19 x 12 x 6 cm—still spacious enough for essentials. Some people convert these pouches into handbags by attaching D-rings to the leather tabs on the sides, though I wouldn’t recommend it. Many say the bag tends to tip upside down since the leather tab is positioned near the bottom.
The Toiletry Pouch, a sizeable pouch, is a good alternative as it can be converted into a bag by adding an organizer and attaching a strap. Personally, I’m not a fan of modifying bags, as it alters their original aesthetics, but to each their own. Used as a grab-and-go clutch, the Toiletry Pouch is undeniably stylish. In fact, Princess Diana famously carried one for a cruise date, sparking a trend at the time. The standard Toiletry Pouch is priced at £790.
For a unique choice, the LV x TM Phone Holder is an interesting piece. This limited-edition collaboration with Takashi Murakami may be hard to find, but if you get a chance to see it in-store, it’s worth checking out. While it doesn’t include a phone case, it comes with a gold-plated sticker that you can attach to your own case. It also includes a small Takashi Murakami Monogram pouch, perfect for holding keys or cards.
Kirigami Series
One fan-favorite collection is the Kirigami Series. This set includes three envelope-shaped, minimalist pouches that nest inside each other like Russian dolls. The Kirigami set has been highly popular since its release, offering three pouches for different purposes—the smallest for cards or coins, the medium for a passport, and the largest for a tablet or documents. The standard (non-seasonal) Kirigami Set is priced at £560.
Key Pouch
For those on a tighter budget, smaller leather goods (often referred to as SLGs in the handbag community) are great entry-level options. Some of the most affordable items include the Key Pouch (£245) and Pencil Case (£255). Personally, I find the Sunglasses Case to be an underrated yet practical choice. If you frequently wear sunglasses, it’s a stylish accessory that you’ll use often. Prices for sunglasses cases range from £300 to £500, depending on the design. And if you’re interested in actual Louis Vuitton sunglasses, you can find a pair for around £390.
Chain Wallet
If you’re a Louis Vuitton fan, you might be wondering, “What about the chain wallet?” Unfortunately, the Félicie Pochette Flap Pouch is slightly over budget at £1,090. If you’re looking for a bigger bag, the most affordable option is the Neverfull PM, which costs £1,360. In short, there are not many Louis Vuitton bags under £1,000 and probably your only option would be converting pouches into handbags.
Actually, if you’re not just looking for bags, there are plenty of other options you can grab for under £1,000. This article mainly focuses on small leather goods (SLGs) since they are among the most popular choices for budget-conscious buyers. While Louis Vuitton’s website doesn’t allow you to sort items by price like Amazon does, you can also explore scarves, wallets, cardholders, perfumes, key holders, and more for affordable alternatives.
I hope you enjoyed this article and found a piece that fits your style—without breaking the bank! 😊
