It struck me as a bit of a surprise to find out a couple months ago that the Louis Vuitton Pallas Chain Bag was being discontinued. Not only was it popular and not very old, but it exemplified Louis Vuitton's most successful recent strategy: mixing traditional monogram and colored leather to make one of the brand's most longstanding signatures feel fresh and modern. Also, the Pallas tote wasn't going anywhere, so why abandon the shoulder bag variant?
When the Louis Vuitton Saint Placide Bag showed up on the brand's website last week, I finally had a reasonable theory: an improved successor was on the way. The Louis Vuitton Saint Placide Bag is similar to the Pallas Chain in some obvious ways: it's a petite shoulder bag with a long chain strap, and the body of the bag is monogram canvas topped by a colored leather flap, which closes with a golden lock.
Their proportions are a bit different the new Saint Placide is a bit deeper and boxier, giving it more room inside and the the look of the Saint Placide is a bit more modern, but it's a pretty clear successor in every way.
