There
are few sure things in life (other than death and taxes, as the old
trope goes), but a bevy of beautiful handbags at a Louis Vuitton show is
absolutely on that short list. The company makes no bones about the
importance of leather goods to its Louis Vuitton Shoes For Men
business, and creative director Marc Jacobs always makes sure to put
the best of the best on display for editors, buyers and LV fans alike.
For Louis Vuitton Fall 2013, that means a couple of Vuitton’s most
classic shapes (think Speedy and Pochette Accessoires), done up in
materials like fur, python, crocodile and feathers. Like Jacobs’ own
show, the color palette was rich but muted, and a couple of the
materials (particularly the snakeskins) seemed like perhaps they
appeared on handbags in both lines.When it came to the bags, though,
Vuitton kept things classic; the biggest leaps of the collection were
fur-covered Speedy bags Louis Vuitton Luggage
that looked like muffs, and although fur bags are difficult to pull
off, the inherently amorphous shape of the Speedy freed up Jacobs to
experiment with longer fur than a more structured bag would require.
If
you’re looking for something more traditional, a python Speedy or soft
crocodile fold-over quasi-Lockit are better bets. For me, though, the
most interesting bags of the collection were the feather-covered
Pochettes Accessoires, which looked almost like they had been adorned
with short locks of colorful hair. Louis Vuitton is at it again. The
brand is known for its striking ad campaigns, featuring everything from
romantic train scenes to Muhammad Ali and his trusty Louis Vuitton
Keepall, and for the classic Louis Vuitton Alma Bag, Vuitton creative
director Marc Jacobs has tapped models Karlie Louis Vuitton Sunglasses
Kloss, Daria Strokous, Jac Jagaciak and Iris Strubegger to take the
bags for a city stroll. The Chic on the Bridge campaign features, as you
might guess, the Alma bags paraded across some of the world’s most
famous trestles in New York, Paris and Shanghai.
Americans
are likely to recognize the setting for the New York ads – it’s none
other than the Brooklyn Bridge, with the Alma bags sporting an
NYC-appropriate shade of taxi yellow. The ads set in France and China
also feature country-appropriate shades, and the inclusion of China
where London or Tokyo might have been included in years past is a clear
nod to the importance of the still-expanding Chinese market for luxury
goods, particularly leather. The ads, Louis Vuitton Handbags
which featured Pre-Fall 2013 looks, were shot by Steven Meisel and will
begin appearing in magazines starting this week. Check out the full set

Everyone
knows the iconic Louis Vuitton Speedy, and everyone also knows that
Louis Vuitton updates this coveted classic with each season. For Louis
Vuitton Spring 2013, Vuitton creative director Marc Jacobs decided to
add a geometric note with lots and lots of squares. Checks make a huge
appearance, but my attention went to this updated version of the LV
classic, which has been dubbed the Louis Vuitton Speedy Cube.An updated
treatment on the Damier pattern, the Damier Facette is made with brushed
shiny calf leather and a structured English frame. There is something
fun and different about these bags, a bit more playful. The structured
frame helps combat one Louis Vuitton Outlet Online
of the biggest complaints about the LV Speedy, its lack of shape, and
gives a specific dimensionality to the bag. Available in both MM and PM
in a variety of colors, the price varies from $1,990-$2,280. Our
question is, what do you think, love it or leave it?
