Zendaya's Goes-With-Everything Louis Vuitton Neverfull Tote Bag Is the Definition of an Investment Piece
A 2000s-era status symbol, reimagined.


Once fall hits, everyone likes to credit trench coats or black boots as the do-it-all staples that carry the rest of your closet on their backs. And while they certainly fall in the top five, the hardest-working item in any wardrobe is inarguably the everyday work bag.
Within that category, Louis Vuitton's Neverfull ranks among the most famous designs of all time. The spacious tote bag is made of coated canvas, often covered in the brand's famous LV logo, and was considered the ultimate status symbol of the early 2000s. Recently, however the Neverfull has gotten a modern-day upgrade, taking it from a throwback staple to a truly timeless investment piece matched by the likes of Goyard's Saint Louis bag.
Only a few weeks after its launch, Zendaya had already added Louis Vuitton's new, reversible design (which costs a cool $3,000) to her wardrobe. On Sunday, Oct. 27, the actor was spotted in New York City with her brother, Austin Coleman, and her dog, Noon Coleman, carrying the heritage style. Instead of the typical monogram print, however, hers was in sleek black.
Zendaya's latest look was a mix of quiet luxury and cool-girl athleisure.
The nondescript handbag matched the rest of her vibe perfectly. Zendaya's look was all rich-girl basics, including: cat eye Bottega Veneta sunglasses, a plush gray sweater, and a simple (but costly) denim jacket from The Row.
The only departure from this aesthetic were a couple of simple sportswear pieces. She wore white parachute pants and a pair of sneakers from On, also in white.
Though Zendaya is far past her tennis-coded Challengers days, the actor is still very much in her sporty era. Since becoming the spokesperson for athletic brand On, she's been keeping most of her street style looks in the athleisure vein. (Think: biker shorts and Uggs, or parachute pants and Tom Holland merch.) And they just keep getting better and better.
