Louis Vuitton 101: Summer By the Pool

By The Rebag Team, Aug 3, 2021

Louis Vuitton By the Pool evokes dreamy summer getaways.

With a pastel gradient that’s easy on the eyes and perfect for a long holiday on the French Riviera, the Amalfi Coast, or the Hamptons, Louis Vuitton’s Summer 2021 By the Pool capsule collection is the must-have for warmer weather.

Louis Vuitton inaugurated Summer 2021 with a capsule collection appropriately named By the Pool. The French luxury label took some of its most iconic handbag silhouettes and gave them a summer makeover with softer pastel hues set in a gradient. Meant to evoke the sunrise and sunset, the collection puts a twist on the iconic Louis Vuitton Monogram print with a colorful reimagination that’s perfect for any warm-weather holiday. The maison released Summer By the Pool in its most iconic styles, including the Onthego, Keepall, and NéoNoé, along with two new exclusive bags — the Marshmallow and the Papillon bb. Vanilla, sun-kissed orange, red, and dusty pink emulate the sunset, while blue recalls a pristine lagoon. Most of the Louis Vuitton By the Pool collection sold out immediately when it was released last April, but the items can be found on the secondary market.

Investment Value

This collection includes many of Louis Vuitton’s most popular designs including Neverfull, OnTheGo, Speedy and Kirigami Pochette. What makes By The Pool a great investment is the combination of limited supply, iconic Vuitton handbag models, and classic monogram in a refreshing colorway. That, paired with the increased travel and vacation needs with many countries reopening for tourism makes By the Pool a coveted collection. Although it’s difficult to choose the best pieces as most of this collection are classic and trendy models that are beloved by many. If we have to pick three, the list includes Neverfull Tote, Mini Pochette Accessoires, and the newly launched Marshmallow Bag.
