During the summer months, we find ourselves dreaming of exciting escapes and sun-drenched adventures. Louis Vuitton’s By the Pool 2024 collection is a portal to that dream world. The line celebrates the season of sunshine, invoking a sense of wanderlust through vibrant pieces in rich, natural materials.
Vacation-Ready Wardrobe Essentials
By the Pool offers the perfect reason to holiday— a chic lineup of ready-to-wear pieces, bags, shoes, textiles, accessories, and more. Standout prints, such as the iconic monogram reimagined as intricate tile motifs and lush botanical graphics, promise to add a unique touch to any wardrobe. Fun dad shirts and tees pair effortlessly with chic trousers and comfortable skirts. The thoughtful mix of loose and fitted silhouettes helps you mix and match and make each look your own.
Artful, Tactile Bags
While this collection has a number of bags that would make great buys, our favourite is the reimagined LetGo tote. The beautiful watercolour effect on the OnTheGo, Coussin, and Neverfull styles and the Capucines bags, crafted from wicker and rattan, are particularly special. They feature intricate French basketry techniques that pay homage to the historical Malle Pique Nique from the late 19th century.
Dazzling Jewellery
Louis Vuitton has debuted the new My LV Pearl collection, which introduces a signature line featuring colourful glass pearls. The turquoise necklace, reminiscent of fresh ocean waves, is an instant winner. The Nanogram Enamel range is equally captivating, with earrings, bracelets, and rings showcasing the engraved Monogram in vibrant fuchsia or turquoise settings. With its turquoise canvas strap and blue rhinestone charms, the LV Push bracelet is perfect for layering to create a bold, stylish look.
Summer Accessories
The wide selection of hats includes fringed denim bucket hats and caps, woven palm Panama hats with printed silk scarves, and youthful crochet hats. Each can add a distinct flair to any summer outfit. The Pretty LV belt with patterned tiles in blue or rose screams It girl accessory. Scarves are back in style, and this collection boasts generously sized shawls and silk scarves that offer endless styling possibilities.
Home & Lifestyle
If you love to add elements of the season to your home, then the collection’s tableware and gift items are a must-see. Our top pick to spruce up any home is the fine white Limoges porcelain plates featuring intricate flowers, coral, and starfish designs–perfect for creating a distinctive summer table setting.
The Ultimate Summer Collectible
Finally, the patterned surfboard is an absolute must-have for those seeking the pinnacle of summer luxury. Crafted from fibreglass with a central wooden spine and resin, this high-end artisanal surfboard features the season’s standout motif and a unique signature on the underside. Its energising coral colourway transforms the idea of travel from land to sea, making it the most coveted collectable.
