Classified as one of Louis Vuitton‘s iconic designs, the LV Twist is adored by many for its elegant look and versatility.

Still adopting the iconic chain bag design, the LV Twist lock is reimagined in a new “Gourmette” lock in four variations: colourful strass, enamel, an engraved Monogram and engraved metal.
