Vanessa Wu in Romania: the premium French brand from Paris, known for its lightning-bolt trainers, bags with textures full of personality and accessories with the VW monogram, is now available at EVoStyle.ro.
The guide below helps you choose: which bag suits you, how the Altai M differs from the Mini Altai, how to choose your size in the Maggie trainers and which accessories complete the collection. All the models featured are part of the Vanessa Wu selection at EVoStyle.
The Vanessa Wu story, in brief
The brand was officially launched in 2011 by designer Vanessa Wu, when she was just 25. She grew up in a family of footwear wholesalers, so she learned the trade from the inside before creating her own label. The brand’s first name was Vanessa’s Secrets, changed two years later to Vanessa Wu.
Today, Vanessa Wu has its offices and showroom in Paris’s 11th arrondissement. The brand’s iconic design is the lightning-bolt sneaker (“basket éclair”), launched in 2019. Alongside footwear, Vanessa Wu creates bags and accessories in the same spirit: interesting textures and details you recognise at a glance.

How to choose the right Vanessa Wu bag
For the essentials, choose Nina or Mini Altai; for more space, Altai M; and for busy days or weekends, Laure M. The table below compares the models available.
| Model | Dimensions (W × H × D) | Outer material | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nina | 32 × 19 × 6 cm | cowhide (hair-on or suede) | the day’s essentials |
| Mini Altai | 29 × 19 × 10 cm | cowhide (suede or hair-on) | day and evening |
| Altai M | 39 × 23 × 15 cm | cowhide (hair-on or suede) | everyday things, the office |
| Mini Louie | 25 × 17 × 10.5 cm | bouclé, PU (polyurethane) base | weekends, the cold season |
| Laure M | 43 × 24 × 20 cm | corduroy, PU (polyurethane) base | busy days, weekends away |
Nina, the soft shoulder bag
Nina has a flap with a magnetic button, a profile of just 6 cm and a strap adjustable from 57 to 70 cm, so it sits close to the body. Choose it if you want an elegant bag for your everyday things.
- Nina Camel: pony-effect hair-on cowhide, with a deer print on a camel background. It adds a statement to an outfit in neutral tones.
- Nina Taupe: genuine suede in a subtle shade that goes with almost anything.
The Altai bag: Altai M and Mini Altai
Altai has oversized handles and an inverted tab closure with a magnetic button. The difference between the two versions is the size and the way you carry them.
Altai M (39 × 23 × 15 cm) has two 26 cm handles and no shoulder strap. You carry it by hand or on the forearm, and inside it has an open pocket and a zipped one, with room for your everyday things.
- Altai M Black: genuine pony-effect cowhide with a bambi print.
- Altai M Chocolate: cowhide suede in a warm autumn shade.
This is how the bambi-print Altai looks in the brand’s autumn campaign:
Mini Altai (29 × 19 × 10 cm) has 16 cm handles and a slim, detachable shoulder strap, adjustable from 106 to 119 cm. It’s the more versatile version: carry it by hand during the day and on the shoulder in the evening.
- Mini Altai Black: cowhide suede, suited to both day and evening.
- Mini Altai Cow Print: hair-on genuine leather with a cow print, for an outfit with personality.
Mini Louie, the season’s bouclé texture
Mini Louie has the format of a small bowling bag (25 × 17 × 10.5 cm), a soft bouclé exterior, a PU (polyurethane) base and a gold-tone zip. It has 8.5 cm handles and a detachable strap, adjustable from 97 to 112 cm.
- Mini Louie Beige: a warm shade, to carry by hand or crossbody.
- Mini Louie Leopard: leopard print with black details, to carry by hand or on the shoulder.
Laure M, the roomiest of the models featured
Laure M Khaki measures 43 × 24 × 20 cm and is made of corduroy, with light beige logo handles and a detachable shoulder strap.
Inside it has open pockets and a zipped pocket, and on each side, on the outside, an open pocket. It’s the right bag for busy days or a weekend away.
Maggie, the lightning-bolt sneaker
Maggie belongs to the family of lightning-bolt trainers, the Vanessa Wu signature. It has a creeper-style rubber sole with a 3 cm platform and Velcro strap fastening, practical on days when you’re in a hurry. The sole subtly lifts your silhouette, and the lightning bolt on the side makes the design easy to recognise.
- Maggie Originals Taupe: synthetic suede upper with a camel creeper sole. A neutral shade you can wear effortlessly with jeans, wide-leg trousers or knitted dresses.
- Maggie Puzzle Burgundy: burgundy PU (polyurethane) with synthetic suede inserts and powder-pink accents. This is the pair that turns heads.

How to choose your size in Maggie trainers
Choose the size you usually wear. This is the official Vanessa Wu recommendation for Maggie Originals, which are true to size. If you usually wear half sizes, the brand recommends going up to the next size. The recommendation refers to Maggie Originals; for Maggie Puzzle, also check the product details.

Vanessa Wu accessories: Sia caps and Ambre socks
Accessories are the easiest way to wear Vanessa Wu every day. The Sia cap has an embroidered VW monogram, one size and an adjustable back closure:
- Sia Dark Green: corduroy, for casual autumn outfits;
- Sia Black: shearling-style faux fur, warm and elegant on cold days.
The Ambre knee-high socks (72% cotton, 26% elastane, 2% nylon) have an embroidered monogram and shimmering threads, so they look lovely at the ankle with trainers and a skirt. You’ll find them in two versions: Ambre Black with gold threads and Ambre Violet with silver threads.
How to care for suede and hair-on bags
Brush suede gently, keep the bag away from moisture and keep it stuffed with paper when you’re not using it. These are general guidelines only; always follow the instructions on the product label too.
- avoid prolonged rubbing of suede against light-coloured clothes or accessories;
- if the bag gets wet, let it dry naturally, away from the radiator;
- on hair-on leather, don’t rub a stain; dab it gently with a dry cloth.
