We’ll be honest. We’re absolutely hooked on all the Louis Vuitton chain bags. The delicate locks, the added shine, and the sheer elegance are exactly what we’ve been dreaming of. LV has been generously adding chain details to all their designs. Think jaw-dropping Louis Vuitton shoulder bags with chains, cross-body bags, totes, clutches, mini bags, you name it. If you’re into chain straps, this read is for you. Let’s talk about our top 10 Louis Vuitton chain bag choices that you can’t miss. Of course, this is Louis Vuitton, so you’re sure to run into some timeless classics while also hitting some newer designs. Let’s go.

Louis Vuitton New Wave Chain Bag

Alright so let’s start with this showstopper. The LV New Wave Chain bag is a classic reinvention. The previous New Wave had a quirky, wavy-ish silhouette with a rainbow logo right on the flap. It was trendy then but later got discontinued. The bag’s new look keeps things fresh with a cleaner, more modern shape, just like a traditional flap bag. There's a sleek V-shaped quilting reimagined in calf leather. The “V” stands for, as you can guess, Vuitton.The vintage gold chain threads through the eyelets, giving it a chic vibe. The LV logo is boldly displayed right in the center of the flap.

Now, the beauty of the chain and adjustable strap is you can rock this bag crossbody or on your shoulder. The soft, slightly slouchy leather will also make it look stunning as a clutch with the chain hanging. The Louis Vuitton New Wave Chain Bag is available in black, off-white, taupe, green, and pink colors and will set you back 2,550 USD. For a relatively lower price, you can check out the resale market. 

Inside, you’ll find a main compartment up front, a central zip pocket, and a patch pocket at the back. Rest assured, you can easily keep your essentials organized in this beauty. Here are the size variations for you: 

Louis Vuitton MyLockMe Chain Bag

The MyLockMe is a Louis Vuitton Shoulder bag with a chain detail. In our opinion, it is a total winner if you’re after something that is not only gorgeous but also practical. It can easily become your next favourite all-day bag. The soft-grained calfskin leather feels amazing and adds a luxe touch. It’s a newer feel from the classic monogram look.

You can double up the chain strap for a chic shoulder carry or wear it cross-body for a more laid-back look. After opening the LV turn lock, you’ll see that it has got room for most basic essentials that you can store in an inside flat pocket. What we adore about this Louis Vuitton chain bag is that it can literally be worn with everything, from casual outfits to dressier looks. The neutral colors like Black, Griege, and Creme (and some killer two-tone options) further add to its functionality. Just a heads-up, wearing it crossbody might give it a tiny dent on the flap top due to its soft leather. The cute blingy chains, which are not removable by the way, and the hardware are available in both Gold and Silver. 

The dimensions of smallest size is given below in table.

Louis Vuitton Twist Belt Chain Pouch

The belt chain pouch is one of the many sought-after designs from the twist line. You can think of it as a minimal, structured, wallet on chain. The best part about this Louis Vuitton short chain bag is that it is light-weight but packs a punch with space for, let’s say, your key pouch, cardholder, phone, a small hand sanitizer, and a lippy. It is crafted from classic black Epi leather with gold-tone hardware, giving a bright and shiny look. You can carry it as a clutch bag, or on your shoulder, or.. and here’s the twist, attach it to your waist with the handly belt loop. The belt loop is perfect for those who like their bags hands-free. There is the LV Twist lock hiding a spacious compartment, a cute zipped coin packet and card slots. 

Louis Vuitton Ivy Wallet on Chain Bag

Next up in our line for Louis Vuitton chain bags is the Ivy Wallet on Chain. Think of it as a smaller, soft-structured, rectangular flap bag. It is perfect for weekends, cafe dates, and travel. With easy access and an adjustable, detachable shoulder strap, you can wear it over your arms or cross-body. The removable short gold chain makes it look dressier. It can even be used to accessorize, if you just wear the bag on the shoulder. Inside, you will find 4 card slots, a central compartment, a zipped coin pocket in the middle. At 23.5 x 12 x 4.3cm, this monogram-coated canvas Louis Vuitton Chain Flap Bag is your perfect companion in place of a wallet.

Louis Vuitton Pochette-Métis East West

Now the Louis Vuitton Pochette-Métis East West is for lovers of minimalism. It is a super cute mini design with an elongated east-west shape making it a perfect of-the-moment bag. This LV Shoulder bag with chain brings along two strap options: a longer canvas strap that’s adjustable and removable, and a chunky gold chain with lobster clasps engraved with LV. There is also a super adorable top-handle allowing for multiple carrying styles. The LV S-lock closure keeps your essentials secure. Inside, you’ve got two divided compartments separated by a zip closure, plus an inside pocket and a back pocket for extra storage. We think this is a handy choice for people looking for a practical daily-use bag that they can also sometimes wear to dressier occasions. 

Louis Vuitton Loop Bag with chain

The famous Loop Bag is on the wish-list of many bag-lovers who are looking for trendy pieces. It comes from the Cruise ‘22 collection. The designers drew inspiration from the Louis Vuitton Croissant Bag and deepened it’s curved silhouette to make a classy half-moon shaped baguette. 

This Louis Vuitton gold chain bag is compact, body-friendly, and absolutely ideal for people who don’t like wearing heavy bags. It’s more of a date-night bag in which you can carry just the essentials, like your wallet, keys, and some makeup. You’ve got plenty of styling options, thanks to the removable chain and cross-body leather strap. The LV Circle Zip adds to the shine element, looking gorgeous against the monogram canvas. Inside, there is comfortable microfiber lining and shiny, gold hardware. The pockets include a central zipped compartment and a zip closure. 

Louis Vuitton Boulogne

The last on our list of absolute must-have Louis Vuitton chain bags is the Boulogne. It’s a classy remake of the original that’s bound to steal your heart. Made from LV’s iconic monogram canvas, you get some new details like 4 leather corners, a double zip opening (super convenient), and a removable strap. The removable strap gives you multiple ways to style the bag—- cross-body, long-shoulder, or short-shoulder. There are three adjustments giving you a 31cm to 50cm drop. You can even rock it as a Louis Vuitton small chain bag or clutch for formal gatherings. The double zip gives you easier access and adds extra shine. The Gold chain is thick and bold, compared to the other LV chain bags. The chain drop is 25cm. The dimensions are 29 x 16 x 9.5 cm (Depth x Height x Width)

How to know if your Louis Vuitton Chain Bag is real: 

Now, as thrilling as buying a brand-new Louis Vuitton Chain bag can be, make sure you don't fall for a scam. Check out these sure-shot signs of an authentic bag: 

The chain and hardware is signature golden brass. It feels solid and heavy to the touch, not light ot cheap. The locks look polished and are always engraved the  LV logo. The stitching is even, with no loose threads or odd spacing.  Always check the Date Codes.

Louis Vuitton's iconic canvases like Damier, Monogram, and Multicolour each have unique traits that prove their authenticity. Yet, some things are always true: the design should be centered and symmetrical. In Monogram, the flowers meet at the seam, and in Damier, the squares do the same. Monogram uses one piece of leather wrapping from front to back. So, on bags like Speedy, the LV symbol may be upside-down at the back.
