It’s true what they say over at Louis Vuitton, with hot-selling bags flying off the shelves each time they’re made available, the only way you can get one is to join the waitlist or pay a deposit to secure a piece. And that includes the ‘new’ Palm Springs Mini (which is also the subject of today’s post), one that’s frequently spotted on Hollywood celebrities out and about.

There’s no denying the beauty and versatility of the bag, qualities which contribute to its success till this very day. In its original form, the Palm Springs Mini is worn like a backpack, measuring 22 cm by 17 cm, one that will take you most anywhere with its small yet functional size. And with some quick adjustments, the removable straps can be joined together to form a single shoulder strap, converting the Palm Springs Mini into a crossbody bag that looks equally good over the shoulder or across the body.

All in all, you can carry this bag at least four different ways, which is why it has remained one of Louis Vuitton’s most coveted designs since its release back in 2016. Over the years, the Palm Springs Mini has undergone a slight cosmetic update, and today’s version is equipped with the new zip closure that’s way easier to open, and also less likely to cause wear and tear. Yes, the zip is now on the outside and not hidden under the additional flap like before.

The Palm Springs Mini is currently available in finishes like Monogram Canvas (SGD2740) and Monogram Reverse (SGD2780), returning from time to time in seasonal variations like the LVXLOL camouflage pattern launched back in December 2019. While it’s constantly sold out online and unavailable in boutiques, there’s really no harm bookmarking this link and checking back once in while because you get might lucky one day.
