I've been looking for the perfect backpack for a long time, so when I saw that Louis Vuitton had re-released the MONTSOURIS Backpack for Fall / Winter 2020, I knew it was the next bag for me!
Little did I know that my exceptional hubby had the same idea and had already arranged for our sales associate to hold the backpack in Noir and Natural as a surprise present and took me Saturday to try them on!
As you may know, I have quite an extensive luxury handbag collection but am lacking a high-end backpack. The backpack has over the past several years made a resurgence on the bag front, so could not wait to add one into my collection but to be honest, I've struggled to find one I like.
Somewhat controversially I'm not too fond of the Palm Springs backpack this is mostly due to the puffy sport straps which look bulky and a turn off for me; Goodness knows how many times I've tried on this backpack over the two years hoping to fall in love and every time the straps just put me off!
I didn't want to go down the vintage pre-loved market so when they re-released the Montsouris I was ecstatic.
I wasn't sure which colour-way I preferred out of the Noir or Natural and at first glance on the website, I thought maybe Noir as it matches our keepall 45, my Serene and Neo Noe are both in Noir leather, but luckily my hubby reserved both colours from our SA.
The 2020 Montsouris backpack rendition is now available in two sizes PM (Large) or BB (Small) and five variations:
- Monogram Empreinte - Noir / Crème or Tourterelle
- Monogram - Black and Natural
The store had limited stock of all five variations, so luckily I got to try on all five, and although the Empreinte is beautiful, it's not was I was personally looking for on a backpack.
So between the PM Noir or Natural, both colours are gorgeous, but something clicked when I tried on the natural, and I instantly knew that was right for me!
I love the sleek design on monogram canvas and cowhide leather. The bag has a vintage buckle purely decorative as the bag closes with magnetic snap closure, outside zipped pocket (large enough to hold a keyholder or phone) and good-sized interior. The top handles and adjustable thin leather straps, allows this bag to be worn a few different ways which make this a perfect all-round bag.
I know I can pair this backpack with a tracksuit and trainers (FrontRow or RunAway are my current favourite LV trainers) or dress it up with a pair of jeans and t-shirt or summer dress and sandals, for a day trip to shopping trips etc.

I cannot recommend the Montsouris PM backpack enough it looks like a perfect all-around bag and very comfortable to wear. I know this backpack will be a well-loved addition in my bag collection.
To top it all off my AMAZING hubby even picked out the Xmas animation Ferris wheel Zippy Coin Purse in Monogram with pretty pink interior, to pair with my new bag - What a MAN!
Love to hear your thoughts on the Montsouris PM and if you're considering this bag what colour and size will you chose?
