Soft Touch, Louis Vuitton Introduces a new language of men’s leather elegance

Louis Vuitton expands its menswear universe with LV Touch, a new line of leather goods shaped by the workwear-influenced vision of Men’s Creative Director Pharrell Williams. Combining utility with quiet sophistication, the collection introduces a fresh design language that balances function, craftsmanship, and understated luxury for the modern man.

While the collection embraces a streamlined aesthetic, its foundation lies in the house’s deep heritage of leather expertise. Each piece is crafted from naturally supple, grained calfskin, paired with suede accents and linings that heighten both comfort and tactility. This interplay of textures creates a distinctive softness that defines the character of LV Touch.

Subtle, thoughtful detailing anchors the line to Louis Vuitton’s legacy. Tonal suede front pockets reveal a topstitched V motif, a contemporary echo of Gaston-Louis Vuitton’s historic blazon and a signature of Pharrell’s design vocabulary. A V-shaped carabiner, discreetly embellished with Monogram Flowers, adds a utilitarian twist while nodding to the House’s roots in travel and craftsmanship.

The LV Touch lineup comprises four key styles, each reimagining an iconic silhouette for today’s lifestyle. The Steamer 30, first introduced in the early 1900s as a foldable travel companion, now features a softened, modern structure suited for daily use. The new Verso Hobo introduces a reversible format—two aesthetics in one—enhanced by a multi-use hook and removable interior pouch. Rounding out the collection, the Steamer Backpack and Delta Slingbag deliver adaptable shapes that move effortlessly between business, leisure, and travel.
