Louis Vuitton, like many luxury retailers, has suffered huge losses due to the global pandemic that hit in 2020 and continues into 2021 and has increased its prices again to kick-start 2021. At this time in writing, vaccine programs have just been initiated but the impacts are still very much apparent with lockdowns around the world.
Louis Vuitton historically doesn’t increase prices much in January, but there’s nothing ‘normal’ about 2021, and the brand has already started hiking prices up for popular styles of bag. We’ve documents the January 2021 Louis Vuitton bag prices in the tables below for the UK and USA.
Even after some hefty price increases in 2020 (see them here), LV continues to raise the bar of its most desired product – its bags.

Why Louis Vuitton Raises their Prices
Whilst price increases are generally not looked forward to by fans with wishlists, it is essential for the brand to do this to maintain its brand perception. Price increases also mean that if you purchase a designer bag from Louis Vuitton, your bag will maintain a lot (or even more) of its value as they become more expensive to buy in the first place. This makes designer handbags, in some cases (especially classic styles) investment pieces. Whilst the outlay of a designer Louis Vuitton bag may be a lot of money, the return on the bag if it’s a popular style and is in good condition, means you may get most, if not all of the money you paid for the bag originally.
To beat the Louis Vuitton price increases, one way is to shop pre-loved Louis Vuitton bags for bargains and access to limited edition styles and out of stock bags.

USA January 2021 Louis Vuitton Price Increase Summary
The average Louis Vuitton price increase in the US based on the models above is $61.
The average percentage increase based on the Louis Vuitton handbag models above is 4%
Another huge increase for the Multi Pochette Accessories bag, after a hefty increase in 2020. A very similar situation to the UK, the most popular ‘trendy’ bags have seen an increase. Classic and much more expensive ranges such as the Capucines and City Steamer continue to remain flat.
When is the Next Louis Vuitton Increase?
Louis Vuitton have regular price increases which historically have been twice a year. However, due to the pandemic in 2020 price increases from luxury brands, including Louis Vuitton are coming thick and fast with no real consistency. In 2020 the brand saw 3 price increases throughout the year.
When will the next price increase come in 2021? We have a hunch it will be mid 2021 or even sooner, due to the economic impact the pandemic has had on businesses.
