Louis Vuitton has set social media buzzing with its newest head-turner — a handbag shaped like an Indian auto rickshaw. Unveiled at a re-see event after the Paris Fashion Week runway, the bag is part of the brand’s Men’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection.
Made with LV’s signature monogram leather, the bag comes complete with tiny wheels, handlebars, and intricate detailing — turning a humble Indian street icon into a luxury collectible. Fashion insider Diet Paratha first shared photos online, joking, “Did this bag just colonise me? NRIs are gonna go crazy for this one.”
The internet couldn’t stay calm. One user quipped, “Middle-class struggle is now high-class couture,” while another added, “If I see a South Delhi aunty step out of her Audi with this, I’ll riot.”
Louis Vuitton is known for bold novelty designs — from airplane and toolbox bags to lobsters — but this rickshaw creation struck a deeper cultural chord. While the official price isn’t revealed, it’s expected to be steep — definitely more art piece than purse.
Love it or laugh at it, one thing’s clear: LV’s rickshaw bag is the season’s most unexpected style statement.
