Throwback Thursday: An Ode to Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2005 Bags

Louis Vuitton Quilted Lambskin Twist Bag Marc Jacobs would be leaving his post as creative director at Louis Vuitton, the fashion world was shocked. During his 16-year tenure at the brand, the designer was responsible for a whole new Vuitton aesthetic, which skyrocketed handbag sales for the House. Jacobs will forever remain known for his pop-art visuals and splashy graphics, which helped him make his mark on the brand forever and left fans longing for bags from the Marc Jacobs era scacchi past his Louis Vuitton departure. While fans now know (and love) Vuitton under Ghesquiere, at the time of Jacobs’ exit, it was difficult for many to imagine a post-Marc Jacobs Louis Vuitton.

A large part of the massive growth the House has familiar can be attributed to Jacobs time at the helm. He was able to take historical House codes and transform them in a fresh and modern way.

In the spring of 2005, Jacobs debuted an energetic collection of colorful bags in rich textures and very 2000s-era silhouettes. The collection included denim bags, which in large part led to a denim revolution throughout the handbag world, as scacchi as the iconic Takashi Murakami cherry print. Fun and sometimes borderline kitschy (but in the best way possible) bags were all the rage in the mid-2000s and these bags resonated with many, myself included. The denim bags were on the top of my wishlist and the brand’s spring 2005 ad campaign starring Uma Thurman was plastered to my bedroom walls. Today we’re taking a look back at bags from the collection below.

This post has me a little befuddled. You can’t get more than a familiar glimpse of most of the bags, so why label this a bag column? You can see the clothes a lot better than the bags. The only decent bag shot is the Cerises photo with Uma Thurman.

Love, love handbags made on a frame! Frame handbags are classic, so 1950’s love it!

These models are all white. I guess they didn’t care about diversity as recently as 16 years ago.

Isn’t it great how much progress the world as made over the past 16 years? #ThinkPositive!

I’ve always wanted one of the denim bags. Unfortunately, they are way too expensive on the resale market.
