    With our cultural history of ancient sandooks and damchiyas, it’s clear that building a bride’s trousseau has always been a significant step for any bride and her family. In 2025, however, bridal trousseaus have come a long way from being locked-away chests of heirlooms and essentials kept aside for the newest chapter in a bride’s life. They have now evolved into a highly personal curation of beauty, luxury, and legacy. The trousseau of a discerning modern-day bride comprises pieces that are not just companions for her wedding but enduring symbols of her taste and story.

    Few names encompass this feeling of luxury and heritage like the French luxury house Louis Vuitton. From timeless handbags to jewels that blossom with femininity, from stacked trunks to fine tableware, the maison’s creations lend themselves seamlessly to the bridal trousseau. Each piece is a collectable that whispers of heritage while anticipating new beginnings.

    Bridal Trousseau Must-Haves: Louis Vuitton Edition


    In the run-up to the wedding season, we’ve curated a list of collectables that every bride must have from Louis Vuitton in her trousseau...

    The Capucines

    Every trousseau needs a handbag that transcends occasion. Enter the Capucines, Louis Vuitton’s modern icon. Named after the street where Louis Vuitton opened his first store in 1854, Rue des Capucines in Paris, the bag has become a symbol of elegance. Its clean architecture and discreet yet distinctive monogram make it the perfect companion for both bridal festivities and everyday sophistication.


    For the soon-to-wed bride, the Capucines can prove to be a trusty companion, with its rare leather craftsmanship, meticulous details, and finishing. It embodies the rare blend of strength and delicacy that defines modern femininity. Whether paired with a wedding-day ensemble or carried into the honeymoon, the Capucines is not just a bag, it is a piece of Louis Vuitton’s history carried forward.

    Malle Coiffeuse

    ​Whether it's skincare or precious keepsakes that mean the world, every bride needs a corner that can allow her to practice her self-care rituals in peace. Louis Vuitton’s Malle Coiffeuse can be the answer. With compartments for fragrances, skincare, and precious keepsakes, it recalls the romance of old-world vanity tables while offering a modern bride the ultimate luxury: a private world, carefully encased, waiting to be unlocked.

    The Idylle Blossom

    What’s a trousseau without jewellery that celebrates femininity and joy? Louis Vuitton’s jewellery collection, inspired by the Maison’s iconic Monogram Flower, offers just that with its delicate yet statement-making creations. The Idylle Blossom is a poetic ode to the bloom of love itself, making it perfect to mark the occasion that celebrates the newlyweds’ union.

    ​Rings, pendants, and earrings in this collection can be worn during wedding rituals or saved for the quiet, everyday moments after; they bridge the extraordinary and the personal. Their design language is resolutely Louis Vuitton, but the emotional resonance is timeless, and it is a precious heirloom in the making.

    Petite Malle

    ​A handbag can be the only trusty companion you need, especially as a new bride begins a new chapter of her life. Louis Vuitton has perfected the art of trunkmaking since 1854, and now distils this heritage into a covetable, wearable form with the Petite Malle.


    The Petite Malle translates the maison’s iconic craftsmanship into a modern, fashionable statement. Its structured silhouette, metallic accents, and trunk-inspired clasps make it an object of both nostalgia and contemporary flair.

    The Dolce Vita Tableware Collection

    The trousseau is not only about personal adornments but also about the building blocks for a bride’s new life. Louis Vuitton’s new Dolce Vita collection, complete with the exquisite Malle Vaisselier, extends this vision into the couple’s home. Evoking the sunlit charm of the Italian dolce vita, this fine tableware transforms every shared meal into a celebration. For the bride who dreams of welcoming guests with style, these creations add a rarefied dimension to the home’s first collection of shared treasures.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
