An extremely rare and elegant Louis Vuitton bag created as a collection for Harry & Meghan’s Royal Wedding is up for auction at Fellows. The 2018 limited edition Petite Malle handbag has an estimate of £12,000 – £18,000. It is 1 of only 21 limited-edition Petite Malle handbags created in 2018. Featuring a red, white and blue Union Jack flag, the beautifully-designed Louis Vuitton accessory is Lot 191 in Fellows timed, online-only Designer Collection sale. The auction is currently live on Fellows Auctioneers’ website.

In 2018, to celebrate the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Louis Vuitton produced an extremely limited, extremely rare collection of just 85 pieces, including the iconic Keepall, Speedy, Noé and Petite Malle styles. All 85 pieces were only sold at the Louis Vuitton New Bond Street flagship store. The collection completely sold out on the very first day of being on sale. The store etched the words “Louis Vuitton celebrates the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle” across the glass on their Bond St windows to celebrate the collection, as well as the Sussexes’ nuptials.

The Petite Malle bag up for auction at Fellows is number 13 of 21. It has a monogram coated canvas exterior, with black leather trim, gold-tone hardware, and a detachable leather shoulder strap. There is an S-lock front fastening and a blue and black leather lined interior. The lot also comes with a maker’s care guide, papers, a dust bag and a box.

Sophie Higgs, Designer Collection Specialist at Fellows Auctioneers, said: “We are delighted to announce the auction of this extremely rare handbag which was released to celebrate Harry & Meghan’s wedding. In keeping with the wedding itself, the handbag has been shaped by the wealth of history that feeds all Louis Vuitton trunks, yet it flies a path of its own. Devotees of the brand will recognise the familiar shape, the iconic monogram canvas and the gold-tone lock and fittings, but will no doubt welcome the tasteful incorporation of the Union Jack flag design.”
