Louis Vuitton presents The Rolling Luggage
As the history of Louis Vuitton has been defined by innovation in travel, the Maison advances its Rolling Luggage series with the launch of Pégase, newly reimagined by Marc Newson. Among his generation's most influential industrial designers, Newson has collaborated with Louis Vuitton on two previous designs since 2016: Horizon followed by the Horizon Soft duffle.
“The objective was to have a consistent vocabulary between the collections and to share the same innovations”
Already, the Horizon and the Horizon Soft duffle stand out within the category. Beyond the recognizable Monogram or Damier canvas, the hard case and duffle shapes are both supported by an exterior trolley system and an extra flat interior. For Pégase, Newson once again applied his expertise in materials and engineering, testing aluminum alloys used in aerospace to arrive at tubes of unparalleled slimness. By reducing their interior protrusions, internal space is optimized throughout. Topped with an ergonomic handle, this latest trolley system excels in strength and maneuverability.
In revisiting Pégase, Newson expands Maison’s Rolling Luggage through rigorous and highly technical standards. The streamlined exterior is outlined with metallic zip hardware along the main compartment and an ample front compartment. The latter, newly sized for storing and protecting computers and tablets, is both an organizational and aesthetic feature that enhances overall convenience whether traveling for business or leisure.
True to the visual language of Louis Vuitton, the Pégase is offered in timeless Monogram, Monogram Eclipse, Damier Graphite, and Taiga Leather. Underneath, the shell ensures that Pégase is at once lightweight and ultra-resistant. In this way, frequent travelers will appreciate that Newson has given equal consideration to the exterior and interior.
As travel for any purpose becomes essential and exciting again, the Louis Vuitton Rolling Luggage collection delivers an elevated statement through design that is built to last.
