The action is on the runways under gleaming white tents in Bryant Park. New collections are making their way from the catwalk to the sidewalk…and it’s this very view of the quiet moments on the sidewalk that caught my eye today.

StyleMint stands for a self-expression that eludes fickle trends, so brands with heritage are always attractive for this reason.

Louis Vuitton, though it’s made its name in the past as a mass-clusive brand, has a rich history of fine quality to take its owners around the world.

It was this photograph, taken by the talented Julia Hozakowska, that reminded me of the Louis bags that serve its legacy as a travel brand. The unnamed girl, who we see while peaking through the flowery stone frame in the snow, could be in any number of eras or countries. She happens to be looking toward the iconic Bethesda Fountain in the heart of Central Park, near 72nd Street.

This girl happens to be carrying the Neverfull MM in the Damier Ebene canvas. The Neverfull comes in several patterns and sizes (from largest: GM, MM, and PM). The side laces on all of them can draw the rather structured shape in to function as a smaller city tote. My favorite size is the midsize MM — at 12.6in x 11.4in x 6.5in, it’s fairly versatile.  The red striped material lining has a large inner pocket with a D-ring to hold keyrings. The chocolate leather trim sets off the gold brass hardware well.

The cost? $700.00. The time you’ll spend reaching for it when heading on your next trip, errand, or meeting? Countless.
