Louis Vuitton’s iconic Twist Bag was first introduced at the brand’s Cruise 2015 runway show, and since then it has become a beloved new classic. The design was creative director Nicolas Ghesquière’s reinterpretation of a clutch from the house’s archives: the Epi Trapeze clutch. The Twist Bag is characterized by its unmistakably bold hardware, which as its name states, twists to open and close. When in the locked position, the hardware creates an unmistakable and distinct LV.
Originally introduced in the brand’s iconic Epi leather, Ghesquière has reinvented the Twist time and time again, offering new interpretations of the bag season after season. The Twist silhouette serves as a perfect blank canvas for seasonal iterations, and though new versions are created and introduced each year, the classic Epi versions are one of the most popular choices. The brand offers a myriad of both neutral and novelty colors in various sizes.

When I visited Paris in 2018 for Journées Particulières, I got to go to La Galerie, Louis Vuitton’s home in Asnières, France, for a tour. We got to see how these exact bags are made as well as trunks. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take any pictures or I would happily post one. But the craftsmanship that goes into these bags is the boggling. They aren’t my favorite bag from LV, but I really do appreciate the work that goes into them. Thank you for this article (yet again!)
A feast for my eyes!
Theres a twist on Ebay, guy claiming its authentic but a super rare color. Says limited edition, asking 18k plus 109 shipping??? Is there such a thing as vert stingray Twist???
