LV Legends: Delightful

Discontinued but Desired: The Louis Vuitton Delightful Bag

Once a staple of everyday luxury, the Louis Vuitton Delightful has become something of a cult classic since its quiet disappearance from the brand’s core offering. Designed with functionality, comfort, and understated elegance in mind, the Delightful is now a favourite among collectors of discontinued LV.

A Brief History of the Delightful

The Delightful was introduced by Louis Vuitton in the early 2010s as a more relaxed alternative to the classic Neverfull. With its soft, unstructured hobo shape and roomy interior, it quickly became a go-to bag for those seeking everyday practicality without compromising on style.

Often compared to the Artsy and Galliera bags of the same era, the Delightful stood out for its lightweight canvas construction, wide shoulder strap for comfortable wear, and iconic Monogram print. It was available in PM, MM, and GM sizes.

Louis Vuitton discontinued the Delightful around 2017.

Delightful Sizes & Measurements*

PM – 40 x 33 x 15 cm

MM – 44 x 36 x 16 cm

GM – 50 x 39 x 18 cm

*Measurements may vary slightly depending on year and condition of the bag, as pre-loved pieces naturally soften over time.

Variations & Limited Editions

While the classic Monogram Delightful is the most recognisable, Louis Vuitton also released this style in Damier Azur and limited-edition interiors with vibrant linings or special stamps. The Monogram Idylle Delightful (in a fabric version) was a rarer find and is highly collectable today.
