Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM

Cameos in the manner of Greco-Roman motifs cover the canvas of this Neverfull MM, an exclusive print from the LVxFornasetti capsule collection for Fall-Winter 2021. Monogram Cameo printed canvas unites the Monogram pattern with an overlay of colourful cameos, finely illustrated in the signature manner of the Fornasetti design atelier, echoing antique coins in their circular, profiled forms. Cowhide-leather trim edges the tote, microfiber lining covers the interior, and gold-color hardware finishes the fittings. It measures 12.2 x 11 x 5.5 inches (length x Height x Width), the standard MM tote size, roomy for a day’s essentials in a single open compartment.

Two side laces, rather than the usual four, shape the silhouette on this edition, one lace on each side, cinching the canvas inward or loosening it to change the profile. A hook closure fastens the top, holding the opening together. Inside, a flat, textile-lined zipped inside pocket sits against the lining, a slim secure space, and a D-ring provides an attachment point inside. The removable zipped pouch can be taken out as a separate zipped compartment or left inside as an extra pocket, grouping small items together. The main compartment is open and undivided, so the cameo-printed canvas forms a continuous patterned ground inside as well as out, interrupted only by the microfiber lining.

An outside flat front pocket is a detail unique to this edition in the batch: a flat pocket on the exterior front face, accessible without opening the tote, suited to a slim item that needs to be reached quickly, such as a card or a folded note. The pocket lies flat against the front, preserving the tote silhouette while adding an external storage layer. The double handle arrangement gives two slim handles that rest together over the shoulder, and the gold-color hardware at the hook, D-ring and handle fittings adds a warm finish to the printed canvas.

The colourful cameo overlay gives the Monogram canvas a pictorial quality, with profiled figures in circular frames standing out against the patterned ground, and the microfiber lining inside provides a soft, even finish that contrasts with the busy exterior print. This reference is either Made in France, Spain, Italy or in the US. Fashionable and exclusive in its print, practical in its two side laces, hook closure, outside front pocket and removable pouch, this Neverfull MM carries the Fornasetti cameo language across a classic tote form without changing the roomy, open interior that defines it.
