About the City Steamer MM
The City Steamer launched in Nicolas Ghesquière's Fall/Winter 2015 collection — his first bag design for Louis Vuitton after joining as artistic director — with a structured, boxy silhouette and detachable shoulder strap.
What affects this bag's resale value
- Launched alongside extreme exotic-skin versions (a crocodile City Steamer retailed at $55,500 in 2015), anchoring a separate high-value exotic tier
- Made primarily in smooth calfskin or Epi leather rather than classic Monogram canvas, which generally resells less predictably than LV's iconic canvas lines
- Comes in many sizes and materials, fragmenting the resale market and making 'typical' resale pricing hard to pin down
Frequently asked questions
- Does the Louis Vuitton City Steamer hold its value?
- Not as reliably as LV's classic canvas bags — as a leather-driven, size-fragmented line rather than an iconic Monogram staple, standard versions have shown real resale discounts, while rare exotic-skin versions are the exception that holds value.
Louis Vuitton (est. 1854) — The world's best-selling luxury brand by handbag volume, known for monogram canvas and periodic, publicly documented price increases that have historically supported resale values on its most iconic styles.
