Vuitton Go-14 At the top of leather refinement

The GO-14, an elegant bag from Louis Vuitton, is a unique treasure in the brand’s leather saga. It is the link of intertwined passions: the inspiration of a creator, the mysteries of a trunk, and the prodigy of craftsmanship.

This iconic accessory was born thanks to the inspiration of Nicolas Ghesquière, of which it is one of the first creations. The bag’s very name, GO-14, is a code meaning Ghesquière October 2014, when it was unveiled on the podium to mark Ghesquière’s debut as artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s women’s collections. In 2023, the GO-14 made its comeback with a distinctive feature: the trunk. Trunking is the technical secret that usually gives trunks their personality. It is a luxurious cross upholstery that upholsters the interior, an ingenious system designed to keep documents in place during travel. This innovation, signed by Louis Vuitton, was revealed by Nicolas Ghesquière who, from his first collection, knew how to interpret it and reveal it as an “invisible luxury”. “There are universal codes that belong only to Louis Vuitton. The question was to take them back and transpose them into a new territory,” says the creator. This trunk has become a remarkable signature for Nicolas Ghesquière, a narrative thread that runs through his clothes and accessories.

Today’s Vuitton GO-14 is a feat of craftsmanship and witness to an ever-living legacy. The malletage, which is always in constant evolution since the first trunks, is a real challenge of the craftsmanship. More than twenty stages of production are necessary to achieve its manufacture, requiring extreme care and precision. Every detail, from the patina that ensures the satin or toasted finish, to the subtlety and delicacy of the color, is carefully thought out and realized. The specific roundness of the trunk requires a very precise banding technique – 17 metres of tape are required to make a single bag. The complexity of this process goes far beyond that of traditional quilting. It is the excellence of the Louis Vuitton workshop that is honored in the harmony of the Vuitton GO-14 to create a generous and sensual bag, shaped in a quilted lamb leather. It is covered with this soft trunk to infinity, whose stitching highlight roundness and softness. The bag is dressed in all shades, from the most intense black to the purest white, through more subtle, toasted shades, which reveal the finesse of its reliefs.

Modular bag par excellence, which folds to all female postures, it is adorned with a new flexible jewelry chain, like a golden necklace, and is worn both shoulder and shoulder. Thanks to a unique notch mechanism, it can also be worn in the palm of the elbow or by hand. A handle finally underlines its classic look. This sophisticated bag is a testament to Louis Vuitton’s heritage, a celebration of the exceptional craftsmanship of its artisans, and a bold statement of Nicolas Ghesquière’s avant-garde vision. The Vuitton GO-14 is a tangible representation of Louis Vuitton’s living and dynamic heritage. This autumn, the GO-14 will seduce the modern woman who wants to display her sophistication while paying tribute to the heritage of haute couture.
