For those asking about the pages of the book that was posted on IGS last night, this is what you are looking for. Known as the Louis Vuitton City Bags: A Natural History Book, it is a 397-page hardcover that comes in its own display sleeve that covers the French luxury house’s taxonomy of all their iconic bags, covering their Genesis (how it all began), Families (think Speedy, Alma, Sac Plat and their evolution over the years) and Codes (depicting glorious graphics when it came to all their collaborations and craftsmanship).

First published in 2013, it doesn’t cover bags till this very day, but there are enough greats to keep you interested, from Marc Jacobs’ collections when he was with LV to great collaborations featuring the likes of Yayoi Kusama, Stephen Sprouse and Robert Wilson.

Priced at SGD220, you can buy it online via LV Singapore and enjoy free delivery to your home, because let’s be honest, no one wants to be lugging an almost 400-page hardcover up and down Orchard Road even on a good day.
