Much
has been made, both by us and by our commenters, over Louis Vuitton’s
highly publicized strategy shift toward higher prices in hopes of
discouraging entry-level luxury consumers and appealing more to
customers in the Hermes income bracket. Louis Vuitton Outlet
The strategy includes both price-increases on existing products and the
production of more top-tier bags in leather and exotics instead of
Vuitton’s signature coated canvas (often with its attendant monogram),
and the latest bag to show up as a result of those plans is the Louis
Vuitton Alma Bag in Taurillon Leather.
Even
shoppers who aren’t Vuitton fans or customers will recognize the iconic
Alma shape – a domed satchel with short handles and a long zipper
opening. It’s been a Louis Vuitton classic for ages, and in the recent
past, it’s been most frequently seen in monogram canvas or logo-embossed
vernis leather. Even the popular Epi leather Almas have an embossed
monogram at the lower front corner, Louis Vuitton Handbags
ensuring that even those who preferred the most discreet option were
still flashing a little bit of logo. In accordance with Vuitton’s new
direction, that’s no longer the case.
The
only outwardly identifying information on this bag is a tiny embossed
identifier between the handle attachments, and instead of a bold
monogram, it’s the company’s name and Paris location. Louis Vuitton Sunglasses
That’s more in line with how brands like Hermes and Celine do it and
with how high-end customers in general expect their leather goods to be
logo’d in the current marketplace. These Almas are part of the larger
Louis Vuitton Parnasséa Collection, which also includes the newly remade
Capucines bags and new versions of the Sofia Coppola satchel. The
Parnasséa are all classic leather pieces that lack the forced logo
displays that have often characterized Vuitton’s leather goods in the
past; the Capucines, for instance, has a large logo, but the bag’s
structure provides an opportunity for the owner to carry it with the
monogram completely covered.
Other than that, it’s just smooth, expensive-looking leather as far as the eye can see, Louis Vuitton Luggage
plus gleaming hardware in either silver or gold, depending on the bag’s
color. The sophisticated design feels in line with what customers
expect to see at a $4,000-plus price point, which is what the largest
Taurillon leather version, the MM pictured above, will set you back. The
newest version of the Alma also comes in two smaller sizes, a petite PM
and a mini PPM. For comparison, the PPM is 9.8 inches wide, the PM is
12.6 inches and the MM clocks in at 13.8 inches, perfect for an everyday
option. Louis Vuitton Shoes For Men Check out all the versions of the bag below, complete with price and purchase information.
