Few bags are as iconic as the Louis Vuitton Neverfull. Since being introduced in 2007, the Neverfull has remained as popular as ever for both newcomers to the brand and die hard LV fans alike. Once you see it, it’s not hard to figure out why – it’s an ideal every day bag with tons of room for pretty much your entire life – that’s exactly why it’s called the Neverfull. It’s also capable of holding 200 lbs., but we haven’t exactly tested that to know for sure.

Its popularity has led to Louis Vuitton creating dozens of variations of the Neverfull, from Monogram Canvas, to Epi leather, to collaborations with artists like Yayoi Kusama.

The Neverfull comes in three sizes, PM, MM and GM. Its redesign in 2014 meant that a detachable pouch was added to newer models. It features leather trimming, strap handles that open up to an equally recognizable striped fabric interior.

Our live marketplace at StockX offers the opportunity to buy and sell the Neverfull in all its various patterns, colors and sizes, depending on your mood.

Pro tip: Not all Louis Vuitton Neverfulls come with a pouch. If the Louis Vuitton Neverfull you’re looking at comes with a pouch, you’ll see the pouch in the photo.

 

Louis Vuitton Neverfull Monogram Canvas

The Neverfull Monogram Canvas is the most classic of the Neverfull bunch. In 1896, Louis Vuitton debuted the Monogram Canvas pattern. Based on Japanese designs used in the Victorian area, it features flowers, quatrefoils and the interlocking LV Monogram. It was created by Louis Vuitton’s son Georges as a way to honor his father, who had recently passed away. Though the Monogram Canvas was originally made to foil counterfeiters, it has indeed become one of the most reproduced design in the world.  This Neverfull Monogram Canvas comes in GM, the largest size on offer.

Louis Vuitton Neverfull Epi

 

The Louis Vuitton Neverfull in Epi is an understated version of the original Monogram Canvas. It’s a rich, durable and water resistant leather. Though the inspiration for Epi leather goes back to 1920, it wasn’t until 1985 when it became the first permanent leather collection of Louis Vuitton. It goes through a special process and is tanned with plant extracts before dyeing. The process allows for colors as vibrant as this shade of red to stand out and for the leather to withstand the impact of travel, too. This Louis Vuitton Neverfull in orange Epi leather is now available at StockX in MM, the most popular size the Neverfull comes in. Get it here.

 

Louis Vuitton Neverfull NM Damier Azur 

The Louis Vuitton Neverfull in Damier Azur has become just as popular as the original Monogram Canvas. Inspired by the French Riviera, it’s a cream and blue take on the original Damier Ebene canvas, which was created in 1888. This “NM” or “New Model” version was created in 2014, and unlike previous versions, comes with a detachable zipper pouch. It also has a redesigned interior with Louis Vuitton archive details. Like all other Neverfulls, the side laces can be cinched, making this Louis Vuitton Neverfull in Damier Azur, which already is in the smallest size, even smaller. Get it here.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Graffiti Neverfull

The LA Times described Louis Vuitton’s collaboration with artist Stephen Sprouse as a “1980s punk Pop Art explosion of Day-Glo pink, green and orange that’s a happy homage to Sprouse.” The collection was released in 2001 and Sprouse passed away in 2004, but his creations have remained steadily popular. This limited edition Louis Vuitton Monogram Graffiti bag features vachetta cowhide leather handles, side cinch cords and trim like all the other Neverfulls. Get it here.
