Luxury Handbag Giveaway: Win Louis Vuitton and Gucci Bags You’ve Always Dreamed Of
My Favourite Competition Yet: Handbags Galore!
This is most definitely my favourite competition yet! Yes, I may be a little biased since it was my choice—and I also picked the handbags—but my love for designer handbags has been obvious since I was a little girl. My mum always told me it wasn’t “normal” for an 11-year-old to have a handbag collection of over 40 items… but every outfit needs that perfect finishing touch, right? Two brands I’ve always dreamed of owning are Louis Vuitton and Gucci. To me, they’ve always looked glamorous, trendy, and undeniably luxe.
Louis Vuitton Bags: A Legacy of Luxury
Louis Vuitton started in 1854 with a small trunk workshop in Paris, revolutionising travel with stackable rectangular trunks. Europe’s elite and celebrities like the Rothschilds and Coco Chanel quickly fell in love. Later, Vuitton created icons like the Speedy 25 for Audrey Hepburn, setting the standard for chic, practical luggage.
Louis Vuitton was the first designer bag I ever owned. After saving for years, I treated myself to an OnTheGo GM Bag for my 21st birthday—it felt surreal to finally own a real LV after surviving on fakes. Fun fact: the famous LV Monogram, created in 1896 by Louis’ son Georges as an anti-counterfeit measure, is now ironically the most copied luxury handbag brand in the world.
Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandoulière
The Keepall launched in 1930 as one of the first soft, lightweight travel bags, when luggage was still stiff and boxy. Its cylindrical shape inspired the modern duffle bag. Audrey Hepburn even helped shape the line, asking for the smaller Speedy 25 when the 30 was too big, proving there was demand for downsized, practical bags.
The Bandoulière strap, modeled after French military gear, spreads weight evenly across the shoulder—making it comfortable and durable even when packed full. Celebrities like David Beckham, Rihanna, and Pharrell are fans. Ultra-rare editions like Taiga leather, Takashi Murakami’s Monogramouflage, NBA collabs, and the Louis Vuitton x Supreme Keepall are highly sought-after. The Keepall 45 is definitely next on my wish list—it’s perfect for weekend getaways and luxury travel.
Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM Tote
The Neverfull MM Tote debuted in 2007, making it a baby compared to classics like the Speedy or Keepall—but its success was instant. It’s technically reversible, with a canvas lining that flips out for a whole new look. Every bag comes with a removable zipped pouch that fans often use as a clutch. A BOGOF from a luxury brand—what’s not to love?
The Neverfull is also a smart investment: the MM size retailed for $575 in 2007 and is now more than double that, making early versions a collector’s dream. Celebrities use it as an everyday bag, and it sits proudly in Louis Vuitton’s top-selling handbags worldwide alongside the Speedy and Alma.
Gucci Handbags: Italian Glamour and Equestrian Heritage
Gucci began as a leather goods shop in Florence in 1921, selling luggage and equestrian gear to wealthy travelers. Growing up horse riding myself, this brand immediately resonated with me—those horse-bit details aren’t just pretty, they reflect the brand’s heritage!
I was over the moon this year to receive the Gucci Softbit Maxi Shoulder Bag for my birthday. It’s the perfect everyday bag: stylish, practical, and not too big. Honestly, it’s almost replaced my beloved LV OnTheGo GM Bag!
Gucci Marmont Medium Shoulder Bag
Introduced in 2016, the Gucci Marmont Medium Shoulder Bag quickly became an “IT” bag—topping Net-a-Porter’s bestseller list by 2018. Like Gucci’s early classics, it’s celebrity-approved, spotted on Kendall Jenner, Elle Fanning, Salma Hayek, Hailey Bieber, Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid, Dakota Johnson, Serena Williams, Awkwafina, Margot Robbie, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Busy Philipps.
The Marmont’s success comes from its thoughtful design: named after Hollywood’s iconic Château Marmont for vintage glamour, it features soft, quilted matelassé leather for elegance and durability, with a versatile sliding chain strap for day-to-night wear. Seasonal colors like lime green and lavender keep it fresh while staying true to its timeless charm.
Gucci Tossisma Large Reversible Tote
The Gucci Tossisma Tote merges “tote” with the Italian “-issima,” literally meaning the ultimate tote. Its reversible design gives you two looks in one (this would’ve really helped keep my younger self’s collection smaller!). Italian craftsmanship and light gold-toned hardware underline quality and style. There’s also a secure clasp and handy internal pouch for smaller essentials—features I adore in my Softbit Maxi!
