The stuffed lamb fur model was one of the first creations of Nicolas Ghesquière, the creative director of the house’s women’s collections. Today there is a new episode.
Almost ten years ago in October 2014. As part of the Louis Vuitton Foundation, which would not open its doors to the public until a month later, Nicolas Ghesquière presented his spring-summer 2015 collection. the bag then made its first appearance, the GO-14, codenamed after the creator’s name and the year it was created. A model with diagonal stitching accompanies the designer’s debut indoors. Today, it reinvents it and announces its return to the stage.

If it existed in red and blue colors, the GO-14 is now dressed in white, black and pink, but also in toast or blonde tones. Its gold chain is the hallmark of an increasingly sought-after versatility that echoes Nicolas Ghesquière’s belief that clothing should be practical. Therefore, the GO-14 2023 version can be carried on the shoulder, across the body, but it is also possible to change the chain for a leather handle and therefore carry it by hand. What remains unchanged, however, are the model codes.

The soul and identity of the GO-14 lies in its cross-body insert, produced in a special way for the house of Louis Vuitton called malletage. The technique is inspired by the brand’s trunk-making past and requires seventeen meters of fabric and over twenty steps. Along with Nicolas Ghesquière’s graphic play, this bag is both a testament to heritage and a pledge of constant innovation.
