Is the Louis Vuitton Discovery Backpack worth it?

If you want a durable, roomy designer backpack with a subtle print, it earns its keep as a daily bag. If you mainly need laptop protection or want leather at this price, look elsewhere.

Does it fit a laptop?

Yes. The 12.2-inch width and 16.5-inch height clear most 15- and 16-inch laptops, but there is no padded sleeve, so add a laptop case.

How does it compare with the Christopher Backpack?

The Christopher is larger and more rugged, with a flap and drawstring closure. The Discovery is slimmer, zips fully open and suits office and city use better.

Is the Monogram Eclipse canvas waterproof?

No. The coated canvas sheds light rain and wipes clean, but the leather trim and seams are not waterproof, so keep it out of heavy rain.

The backpack comes with a dust bag and the brand's care card. Straps and hardware are attached; no lock or rain cover is included.

Louis Vuitton controls its pricing and rarely discounts, so the best price is usually the standard retail price at an authorized store. The latest we track is $2,190 at Dillard's as of November 3.

Our take on the Louis Vuitton Discovery Backpack

The Louis Vuitton Discovery Backpack is a large daypack in Monogram Eclipse coated canvas with cowhide-leather trim, a double-zip main compartment and a front zipped pocket. It measures roughly 12.2 by 16.5 by 6.7 inches, so it holds a laptop, a change of clothes and daily gear with room to spare. The Eclipse colorway is the understated, mostly black-and-gray take on the monogram, aimed at people who want the brand without the loud brown print. It is a luxury item with a luxury price; the latest best price we track is $2,190 at Dillard's as of November 3, and Louis Vuitton pieces rarely discount, so expect that figure to sit near the top of its recent range rather than dip below it.
