✨ The Chain It — Ghesquière's Nautical Statement Piece
The Chain It is one of Nicolas Ghesquière's most distinctive architectural designs for Louis Vuitton, originally introduced for the Spring/Summer 2017 collection. It was conceived as a modern reinterpretation of the classic top-handle satchel, but with a bold twist: the signature nautical chain detail that contours the front flap, referencing the hardware found on vintage sailing equipment. It's a piece that sits at the intersection of the House's travel heritage and its futuristic, architectural design language.
💎 Monogram Canvas + Black Leather + Mixed Hardware
The body is crafted from Louis Vuitton's signature Monogram coated canvas on the lower half, paired with a smooth black calfskin leather crossover flap. What makes this bag instantly recognizable is the statement chain embellishment running vertically down the front — a mix of silver and gold-tone hardware that includes a polished padlock at the bottom. The rolled black leather top handle is attached with contrast white stitching and glazing, and the bag includes a detachable flat leather shoulder strap for hands-free carry .
👜 The PM Size — Compact and Architecturally Structured
At approximately 21.5 × 17.5 × 7.5 cm, the Chain It PM is a compact, structured bag with a distinctive silhouette. The shape is slightly tapered at the bottom, giving it a modern, architectural profile that sets it apart from a standard satchel . It holds the essentials — a phone, cardholder, keys, and lipstick — and the LV push-lock closure keeps everything secure. The interior is lined in black microfiber with a zip pocket for organization .
🔗 Handheld and Shoulder — Two Ways to Carry
The Chain It is designed as a two-way bag. Carry it by the rigid top handle for a polished, hand-held look that shows off the chain detail. Or attach the detachable leather strap for shoulder or crossbody wear — the strap drop is approximately 50 cm, so you can set it to your preferred length .
