Best Louis Vuitton handbags

Start with the Graceful MM in Damier Ebene — it's the most versatile shape here: a roomy hobo that slings over the shoulder for work and weekends, in the check pattern that hides wear best.

Who the others suit:

• Speedy 35 — the classic everyday bag if you like a zip-top, hand-carry-to-crossbody shape.
• NeoNoe MM — best for carrying a lot (bottle, tablet, extras) with an adjustable strap.
• Siena MM — a structured, ladylike option for office days.
• Petit Sac Plat — small and polished for evenings or minimal carry.
• Lockit PM — the most understated pick if you'd rather skip logos.
• Thames GM — a slim, flat tote for papers and a laptop.

Note: most of these are pre-owned listings, so condition and authenticity paperwork are worth reading on each card.
