Like fashion, handbags are evolutionary. Sometimes designers dig through the archives and take us down the memory lane. The new Louis Vuitton Bleecker Box bag may seem like a new entrant in the world of handbag designs, but it is actually a classic from the archives. The Bleecker Box bag takes us all the way back to the 19th century, and the late 20th century. Its rare unique design can only be understood and appreciated by people with an eye for classics.

The Bleecker Box is designed like a traditional jewelry box, in a square shape. It has a top cover which closes to the bottom part through a shiny silver S-Lock clasp. The bag comes in various single and double colors, ranging from mint green, plain black, blue, red and mixtures of red and blue among others. It has both a top handle and an adjustable side strap which make it possible to carry it in different styles. Inside the bag are a few compartments which make organizing the bag easy and a small girly mirror. What sets this bag apart from others, are its fine lines, hard case, and rare shape.     If you’re a Louis Vuitton fanatic, you will be pleased to know that this bag is a reincarnation of the very first LV merchandise; the flat-topped trunk created in 1854, for the purpose of traveling, during the industrial revolution. The popular bag organizer louis vuitton neverfull voyage trunks had the same cuboid shape and shiny silver and golden locks.

The voyage trunks were, however, not the end of this cuboid design. In 1998, LV reintroduced the design through the first and original Bleecker Box. This piece featured polished brass fittings as a decorative element. The main differences between the new Bleecker box and the 90s model are the adjustable side strap and the texture of the materials used. The 1998 model has a smooth shiny texture while the new one is made of embossed rough leather

Nonetheless, the Bleecker Box is a unique bag reminiscent of Louis Vuitton’s rare creativity and timelessness. This bag is fit for a number of occasions and uses, including evening dinners, fashion events, and short voyages. Though the Bleecker box may also serve as a jewelry box, it’s beauty and uniqueness should not be confined to the indoors, but should rather be allowed to flourish. It also makes a perfect collectible due to its historical relevance and sentimental value.
