New Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite

Finally a new Louis Vuitton line that men can get really excited about. I know I am. Vuitton debuts the Damier Graphite line of accessories in the attempt to revive, redo and revisit the traditional, checkered Damier design. Discreet, yet wonderfully masculine, the new canvas spans across classics, such as the Keepall 55, the Grimaud or the Cabas. Adding to the fine range of travel bags, LV reveals the new Roadster, a 24h-sport bag with a wide zippered flap for easy access. Even a Damier Graphite Motorcycle Helmet is available for enthusiasts who insist on sporting the ultimate in chic whilst cruising cross Roma on their Vespas.

The new line is available in Louis Vuitton boutiques worldwide starting this weekend, soon to be available through eLuxury as well.

Louis Vuitton Farandole Bracelet

I’ve been a casual watcher (although, admittedly, not buyer) of Louis Vuitton jewelry for several years now. My thoughts are normally mixed; they have some very chic, very wearable designs, but I’m not entirely sure that I’d want to buy a piece of obviously branded jewelry (this goes, as well, for Chanel’s beautiful but logo-clad costume jewelry line). I particularly like their resin bracelets as a cute pick-me-up to an otherwise basic casual outfit without piling on an inappropriate amount of bling.

Logos always present a sort of mental block for me – no matter how much I would like something otherwise, I always manage to talk myself out of it if it’s got an obviously displayed brand name. Perhaps it’s because it makes me feel like I’m being somewhat of a bad consumer; if a brand name is obviously displayed, are the odds higher that I’m paying extra for only the name? And as a serious fashion watcher, shouldn’t I be more conscious of such ploys for my extra cash?

More importantly, am I in the financial position to pay $400 for a resin bracelet? Heavens, no. But if I were, I think I’d get over my logo phobia and get the Louis Vuitton Farandole bracelet. I like the lack of sparkle, and I also like that it’s in the colors of their recent camo collection, which don’t often show up in high-end jewelry. This would be wearable during the daytime with jeans and a cute black top (or any similar variation on that theme). Is it subtle? Not particularly, but Louis Vuitton devotees (at least the ones I know) are not subtle people, and if I’m paying that much for something that’s not jeweled, I wouldn’t mind if a few people noticed it, logos and all. Buy through eLuxury for $400.

Louis Vuitton Aquarelle Speedy

I always try to be on top of the latest release and the newest bags. But I must say, the members of the Purse Forum are always a step ahead when it comes to Louis Vuitton. If there is a super secret bag about to be released, they know before Marc Jacobs even designs it. My level of exaggeration is only small. When I first saw a sneak peak of the Louis Vuitton Watercolor Speedy I knew I had to have it!!

But there was this problem, called a wait list. A long a tiresome wait list. A time line that was uncertain about when the bag would arrive and who would be able to get their hands on it. Luckily, I know the best staff of Louis Vuitton sale associates from LV Bal Harbour, who secured me a spot and had my Watercolor Speedy ready for me with the first shipment. Can I tell you that I love this bag? I am in LVOE with it! I am now back in South Florida and this bag could not be more perfect even if I asked it to be. The colors are perfection; light and whimsical.

And if you kept waiting and are not near and LV store and thought you would never gets your hands on this bag, I have good news. eLuxury is now carrying the Louis Vuitton Aquarelle Speedy 35 (as we call it the Watercolor). I assure you that the bag will not be there very long, in fact I would not be surprised if by the time I publish this post it is gone. But it is worth a shot to check it out. $1,270 through eLuxury.

*In fact, just as I posted this the bag is out of stock. Told you it would happen! Continue to check back as eLuxury is known to re-stock bags.

Louis Vuitton Epi Alma

I have never denied or hidden the fact that I am a huge fan of Louis Vuitton. While the monogram line does not always tickle my fancy, I find Louis Vuitton to be one of the longstanding luxury brands left designing bags. Not every bag is a homerun, but there are plenty of great options every season. But if you do not want the glitz and glam, opt for the Louis Vuitton Epi Line. I have brought up the Epi line often, speaking of its ease of cleaning, lack of logos, and overall likability. The Alma comes in a classic shape, is light-weight, and available in an array of colors from the Epi line. Cassis, Ivoire, Black, Red, and Grenade are the colors available in the Louis Vuitton Epi Alma, the textured hand-held carryall which is a staple of the house. The bag is named after the Place de l’Alma, the grand Paris square at the end of Avenue Montaigne. The Alma features textured leather and is trimmed with smooth leather. The inside is lined with Alcantara lining (which is precisely what Vlad goes gaga over in his favorite luxury cars). Buy through eLuxury for $1,240.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Motard Clutch

I continue to find myself checking out the most elegant evening bags, despite the fact that I typically have no where to wear them. But I keep craving a new structured evening bag. Why? I have no idea. I must subconsciously be telling myself to let my hair down, put on a long dress, and go out somewhere fancy (meaning that the casual appeal of Florida has completely set in and thus far I am living a casual chic life). But coming back from Key West, where no shirt and no shoes really is no problem, opting for a new classy clutch is like night and day.

The new clutch on the red carpets is the Louis Vuitton Monogram Motard Clutch, being carried by tall, lean, model types and all other lovers of Louis Vuitton. This is one of the ideal clutches that calls to me; structured, elegant, and classic. The outside is designed with monogram-embroidered silk satin, which is perfect for those of you who are not super keen on the LV monogram. The structured frame-top body is designed with shiny golden brass hardware. There are two other major perks, including the removable long link chain shoulder strap and golden lambskin lining. Small clutches transformed into shoulder bags do not look great on everyone (unless you are super tall and super lean, I am talking about myself too), but it is a great plus. And the luxurious leather lining really is a nice finishing touch, seeing that many LV bags are lined with canvas. Buy through eLuxury for $1,470.

Louis Vuitton Watercolor Speedy 35

New for Spring/Summer 2008 is the Louis Vuitton Watercolor Speedy 35. This unique line is the iconic House’s newest take on the classic Speedy shape, releasing the beautiful color palette on canvas just last Thursday. More expensive exotic bags with the print had been out since mid-March, from the best of my knowledge.

Meaghan had been on the waiting list for a while, thanks to the wonderful staff at Louis Vuitton Bal Harbour, FL, I was able to pick up this gorgeous bag for her while she’s out touring through Spain. I attached my trusty 60mm Micro Nikkor to the D300 body, and we had ourselves a cozy photo shoot in the back yard by the pool. The colors of the watercolor printed canvas complement the Florida weather well, today’s sunshine really made the colors stand out. I am sure my fiancee will enjoy the Speedy thoroughly after getting back from Europe!

Sadly, this special edition Speedy runs for a whole lot more than the regular Monogram canvas version: $1,270.00. However, it represents a “financially responsible” alternative to LV limited editions without having to dash out many thousands for an exotic bag. If interested, inquire at your local LV boutique to have your name entered on the waiting list.

Louis Vuitton Tahitienne Bags

The artsy accessories are in full bloom. And do you know which line I am loving most? Louis Vuitton! From the Watercolor Speedy to the Louis Vuitton Tahitienne Bags, Louis Vuitton has taken a light and fun approach on their spring bags. I’ve caught the LV bug. The Louis Vuitton Tahitienne Bags are hard not to love. They are monogram, but not overly splattered monogram. In fact, while the logo is large, it is still hard to decipher for many that do not know the new items from the brand. The bag is designed with woven cotton canvas and a monogram print with a hand painted effect inspired by a 1924 LV catalog cover. The inside only brings more fun, with smaller Tahitienne print. The shape is perfect for me and the feel is perfect for resort and summer. Actually, I look at this bag and picture myself with my bikini on headed to the beach or out for a day on the boat (or even better on an exotic island vacation!). The rich, vibrant colors are inspired by Paul Gauguin, a Post-Impressionist painter who is known for his bold use of color. Another perk is the adjustable leather shoulder straps and interior strap that can be adjusted to change the shape and capacity of the bags. Ok, I am kind of obsessively in love, I’ll admit it. While the prices are not super cheap, ranging from $1200 to $1600, the bags offer a great summer feel.

Buy the Louis Vuitton Tahitienne GM in Rose through eLuxury.

Louis Vuitton Python Artsy

Louis Vuitton may not be accepted for their baby arrangement of alien handbags, but they should not be ignored. One of the a lot of agitative locations of visiting our admired Louis Vuitton bazaar at the Bal Harbour shops in Miami is seeing what alien accoutrements they accept on display. I accept never endemic one but I accept consistently coveted them. And why wouldn’t I? Some of the a lot of archetypal Louis Vuitton designs are re-vamped in alien derma touches, abacus an added akin of attraction and luxury.


Right now the Louis Vuitton Python Artsy is adorable me. Available in both gris and noir, the Artsy is a bifold blackmail because of its archetypal hobo appearance and design.

Fashion Week Bags: Louis Vuitton

Louis-Vuitton-14Between the half-shoes/half-claws apparent by Alexander McQueen and Chanel Spring 2010 getting appearance in a barn with smirking models, I anticipation I had apparent every antic affair that Paris Appearance Anniversary had to offer.


And again at Louis Vuitton Spring 2010, artistic administrator Marc Jacobs saw fit to attach bristling cape to the bags. Yep, that happened.


As far as accoutrements go, the appearance started…dreadfully. A lot of of them appeared to be fabricated of dip-dyed affection canvas in bonbon colors with analogous creamy appendages alive off the back, which were sometimes bigger than the bag itself. Afterwards a dozen looks, I anticipation I was in for a actual abhorrent show.


But afterwards a little while, things started to attending absolutely better. I’m not abiding if it was just the appearance appearance adaptation of Stockholm Syndrome, I assumption that’s consistently possible, but things rallied a bit during the average and end portions of the show. Instead of canvas accoutrements with beastly locations blind from them, Vuitton alternate to the leathers and arresting logos to which admirers are hardly added accustomed.


Which is not to say the accoutrements were arid – they weren’t. The opposite, in fact. And they weren’t absolutely successful, but I acknowledge the aggregate of colors, materials, and textures that Jacobs attempted in adjustment to accomplish something new out of one of the a lot of apparent logos in the appearance world. The accumulating was abundant on messengers, and the ones that accumulated logo covering with bland in altered colors were apparently the best accoutrements of the show, in accession to the attache accoutrements fabricated of agnate textures. Please, Marc Jacobs, if you’re out there: amuse accord the tassel-covered accoutrements a rest. Thanks.


The added I attending through the accoutrements from the endure bisected of the collection, the added the all-embracing account and influences abound on me, and I’m not abiding what my final assessment will be already the dust of appearance anniversary has settled. One affair is sure, though; adventuresome collections like Louis Vuitton, John Galliano and Alexander McQueen are what accomplish Paris the world’s ascendant appearance city. New York has some communicable up to do.

Louis Vuitton Neverfull

louis-vuitton-neverfull-580x396

The latest Louis Vuitton catalog was one of the best photographed catalogs I have seen in a long time. There was a holiday theme which was not over-the-top cutesy, rather sophisticated and perfectly fitting. One of my favorite photos was a fairytale-like forest scene accented with an array of Louis Vuitton Neverfull Bags.

Fashion Week Handbags: Louis Vuitton

Louis-Vuitton-1-195x200In a appearance with such an alarming bulk of admirable handbags, I almost apperceive area to begin. Who would accept anticipation afterwards endure season’s affiliated aigrette adversity that Marc Jacobs would appear up with such a feminine, pretty, and anatomic accumulating of handbags at Louis Vuitton. I would accept been the endure one to assumption it – in fact, I remarked to a acquaintance endure anniversary that I was almost even searching advanced to the Vuitton show.


But that’s the ability of Marc Jacobs. Just if you anticipate that you’ve got him pegged, if you anticipate that you apperceive what he’s traveling to do and how you’re traveling to feel about it, he veers off in the adverse administration at abounding acceleration and gives you the endure affair you could accept anytime anticipation he would appear up with.


This season, he took us beeline aback to 1940s France, with tea-length tweeds, tailored waists, and bosom-hugging dirndls. The attending reminded me of the French acreage girls in the aperture arrangement of Inglourious Basterds, but with an acutely high-end, Parisian twist. It was a admirable collection, fabricated alone added admirable by the endless and endless of advantageously detailed, commonly wrought handbags in every actual that one could imagine: crocodile, ostrich, leather, fur, lace, satin, beads, you name it. Almost all of the accoutrements were plays on the acceptable Speedy shape, with a few wristlets befuddled in for acceptable measure. Many Vuitton admirers accept been black the accident of a assertive bulk of acceptable from the calm appearance abode – for those customers, this accumulating is a attempt of sunshine beeline from backpack heaven.

I was searching at my backpack accumulating the added day and I accomplished that a lot of of my handbags are actual “safe”.
