AnOther: A Practical Sac du Jour

For Autumn/Winter 2026, Louis Vuitton’s new Multipass bag reworks the historic Keepall for a future folklore of free-roaming voyagers

Imagine: you’re high, on a hill, perhaps a lonely goatherd. What’re you going to wear? For Autumn/Winter 2026, the obvious answer, for the upwardly mobile and not-that-aesthetically-bucolic shepherd or shepherdess, is Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton. Forget ruffled romantic gauzes à la Marie Antoinette in her ferme ornée; think instead of slightly techno-pastoral carapaces of hardy wool and leather, perfect method-dressing for silicone valley plutocrats repatriated to a remote nature. “Super nature,” indeed, was Ghesquière’s stated intent, clothing a future folklore for the digital age in every aspect of dress. Super indeed it was. Naturally at Louis Vuitton, that all translated to the notion of voyager – and its associated schlepping stuff – for which you need a decent bag. The sac du jour this season is titled the Multipass, a take-off on Vuitton’s Keepall, originally designed in 1930 to be sturdy enough to be stuffed with all your worldly goods, as that name suggests. Its history isn’t as deep as millennia-spanning mythologies, yet it roots this bag both in Vuitton’s heritage and a fundamental human urge to explore. But back to the wild: the Multipass dangles a cloche curled into a flower shape similar to the round-petal Vuitton quatrefoil, but also a donging cowbell. Appropriately, that’s an emblem of free-roaming, away from the herd. Very Ghesquière.
