“Denim is the key to any wardrobe,” says Kim Jones, the Men’s Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton.
“I’ve been obsessed by vintage jeans since the age of 16, so this new denim line is a very special project. From the start, we looked to Japan, where there are all the original looms and a great technique of indigo – the true expertise of make.”
Three key fits – Slim Stretch, Slim Classic and Classic Regular – are available in a range of washes and finishes. As always, detail is as valued as cut and silhouette.

Grey and white washes come with tonal hardware, while a classic indigo finish comes with gold rivets, a nod to 1920s vintage denims.
The new fits will be revisited in men’s fashion shows moving forward. Hand-placed and intricately embroidered LV logos are the final detail on each jean.

Motivated by time spent in the Louis Vuitton archive, Jones selected five heritage trunks, dating as far back as 1885, to inspire the finishes and feel of each pair.
Both classic and surprising hard sided luggage details appear, from metal or leather corners and rivets in rose gold and palladium to buttons with horn inlays.
