The moment has arrived: Pharrell's $1 million Louis Vuitton Speedy bag is here.
PJ Tucker handily reminded us that Pharrell's ultra-expensive crocodile leather duffle exists with an early November photo dump on Instagram revealing his a personal order form for the $1m LV bag.
Amongst the swipes of 'fit pics and iced-out jewelry, the Los Angeles Clippers star also shared a screenshot of the Louis Vuitton Millionaire Speedy product page labeled "for internal use only."
Going off Tucker's screen grab, the Louis Vuitton Millionaire Speedy bag is available for sale on a made-to-order basis in five bold color options, including rouge (red), vert (green), bleu (blue,) and marron (brown).
Pictured was the crocodile leather speedy in that unmistakable yellow color that Pharrell carried everywhere during Paris Fashion Week.
You still need to be a top-tier LV client to even get the non-croc Pharrell Speedy — Murse god Jacob Elordi has his own bag (of course) and LeBron toted his own in Louis Vuitton's latest ad campaign.
Bright crocodile leather dressed in Louis Vuitton's iconic monogram informs the Millionaire Speedy bag's exterior, while gold hardware and diamond pendants give the museum-worthy accessory its luxury flair.
As revealed over the summer, Pharrell's Louis Vuitton Millionaire Speedy carries a fat $1,000,000 price tag. "Millionaire" isn't just a name, in this case.
Pharrell's Louis Vuitton bag isn't on the brand's website for us regular folks (I checked) as it appears to be only available to VIP clients, friends, and, really, anyone tight with Pharrell and the LVMH-owned maison.
Not an unusual tactic for LV's fanciest flexes.
Earlier this year, Pharrell revealed that his LV Millionaire Speedy bags would come with a pair of Millionaire sunglasses. I wonder if that's still the case. After all, Skateboard P helped design the timeless sunglasses with NIGO and Marc Jacobs in the early 2000s.
Millionaire shades accompanying the $1 million Millionaire Speedy purchased by — what I'd assume to be — millionaires. Sounds fitting.
In June, Pharrell Williams made his Louis Vuitton debut, putting on a star-studded menswear presentation for the Spring/Summer 2024 season. Ahead of the show, LV's new man-in-charge previewed some SS24 pieces, including those Speedy handbags.
In addition to the Millionaire, Pharrell also presented a Speedy made of buttery leather versus Louis Vuitton's traditional canvas, as seen on the billionaire mogul Rihanna and basketball legend LeBron James.
Drawing inspiration from New York's Canal Street handbags, the updated Speedy bag has a soft shape due to its new supple leather and won't be on display in the Louis Vuitton stores.
"You have to go in the back, like you would on Canal Street," Pharrell said in an interview. "You gone have to pay for it, too."
That was back in June. Now nearing the end of 2023, we're inching closer and closer to the arrival of Spring/Summer 2024 collections, Pharrell's Louis Vuitton included. And those Speedy bags appear to be the appetizers to the main course.
Though, I'd argue the bag is the lead character of the drop-off. I mean, look at all of the buttery buzz it's made.
