The Manhattan probably typified the Marc Jacobs era at Louis Vuitton better than any other plain monogram design that debuted during his decade and a half long tenure at LV.
It's also very indicative of the conventions of that era in fashion overall: logo-covered, hardware-heavy and more than a little bit flashy. Extra pouch pockets and oversized slide locks were big. It feels like a look that would be very hard to transform into something that feels current in 2017, but that's exactly what Louis Vuitton Manhattan Bag, which has debuted for Fall 2017.
Why are the old LV Manhattan Handles Bag considered overly dressed up when they are the same as what speedy, alma, and many other current bags? Likewise the reference to logo covered is still the case with any monogram bag. Besides the heavy hardware, I'm not sure what makes the previous Manhattan more old fashioned vs this one.
The new design also loses the non-functional top strap that looped around the bag perpendicular to its top zipper, as well as the oversized top handle attachments that took up much of the space between the top of the bag and its front pockets.
