New Wave

Name: Louis Vuitton New Wave
Brand: Louis Vuitton

Catalogued July 2026

New Wave is a Louis Vuitton line from the Fall/Winter 2018 collection, a softer, sportier look built on quilted, wave-embossed calfskin with a chunky chain-and-leather strap and a bright LV plaque. It runs across a chain bag, a camera bag, and totes. The read at the time was that it was Louis Vuitton's answer to the quilted-chain crowd like the GG Marmont. It's a leather line, distinct from the house's canvas classics.
