Louis Vuitton Cabas Mezzo


Well, it's official! The Cabas Mezzo or at least a version of it is slated to be released by the end of August, early September. This is in response supposedly due to the overwhelming demand after Angelina Jolie's ad hit the new stands. The last price point for the Mezzo before it was discontinued was $1440. Now, the "new" version's price is yet to be released so let's hope that its around that ball park. Take note that the above photo is from the days of eluxury. LVoe it!!!

Louis Vuitton Monogram Denim Daily

Before we delve further into what's coming for the cold months, I wanted to feature a perfect summer bag called the Daily. Crafted out of the new Monogram Denim, this will surely win the hearts of those that miss this line. Ample space with outside pockets for the bigger version, the adjustable vache leather straps make it the perfect lazy day bag, plus they are lined in microfibre.
What I LVoe about these are the brass engraved press buttons that have the vintage signature on them. Furthermore, they are then sewn onto the fabric with circular vache tabs. Details, details, details! They come in three colours: Gris Bleu (below) & Bleu Clair (above) for the GM and Noir (black) for the PM. Priced at $2000 and $1490, they are available at www.louisvuitton.com.

Louis Vuitton Menilmontant

Hands-free, cross-body, chic are my descriptions for the latest in the Monogram canvas line, the Menilmontant. Priced at $1360 for the MM and $1150 for the PM, this feminine messenger rightfully belongs to the core pieces the LV is known for. Check it out at www.louisvuitton.com. LVoe it!!!

Louis Vuitton Insolite New Colours

Wow, the new Insolite has new colours to liven our spring and summer months. Orange, Pistache, Violet and Citron are sure to win LVoers with a vibrant eye. Available at www.louisvuitton.com for $760. LVoe it!!!

Louis Vuitton First LVook: Mirabeau


Slated to be released the 1st of June (not quite sure about this date), the Mirabeau is part of the "electrique" finish of the Epi Line. It is both handheld and shoulder due to its removable strap. It will come in Ivoire, Noir and Prune. Sizes will be PM and GM and priced at $1670 and $2150, respectively. LVoe it!!!

Louis Vuitton Monogram Eclipse Alma BB

For those of you who missed out on the Monogram Eclipse Collection from Fall Winter 2009 2010 , here's your chance to own one with the Alma BB. This petite bag (9.8"x7.6"x4.7") was an instant success with its Monogram canvas and Vernis counterparts. So it is no wonder that Marc Jacobs decided to release it in its blingier form with black pailletes. Priced at $2250, hurry before the pieces get sold out. LVoe, LVoe, LVoe it!!!

Louis Vuitton Evora

I would like to feature today the Evora that has been out for quite sometime now but is still relatively new. Crafted out of canvas and leather of the Damier Ebene and Azur lines, it comes in MM (17.3"x17.3"x 3.9") and GM (18.9"x19.7"x5.5") sizes. I kinda see the the shape of the ever popular Galliera but the Evora has two shoulder straps and is secured by a zippered top. The pleatings are an excellent touch. Available at www.louisvuitton.com for $2040 and $2270.

Tomorrow's the day: Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandoulière

Enjoy these photos by Boo George featuring International Socialite Caroline Sieber. LVoe, LVoe, LVoe it!!!









Louis Vuitton Bijoux Fantaisie: Damier Perle Collection

During my last visit at the boutique I noticed that Vuitton has released quite a few of Bijoux Fantaisie Pieces (Fancy Jewelry). Following the footsteps of the legendary Coco Chanel when she started selling off faux pearls close to the price of real ones, the collection is definitely worth LVooking at. And for that I would like to feature first the Damier Perle Collection.

Crafted out of metal and resin imprinted with the House's Damier Pattern, the collection is comprised of a sautoir, pendant, bracelet and earrings. Damier Perle Sautoir $1500
Damier Perle Pendant $540
Damier Perle Bracelet $540
Damier Perle Earrings $420

Louis Vuitton Sarah Nœud Wallet


Here's a wallet that I have not seen before: the Sarah Nœud Wallet. Now, the Pochette Wallet (during my time before it was called Sarah) is my favourite design of all Vuitton wallets. It sits comfortably in the hand and holds a ton of credit and identification cards, with a zippered compartment to secure important what-nots plus ample space for wads of cash...not that I had a lot. The Nœud is a re-design of the Pochette with a studded twist lock and bow that adds extra femininity to it.


Priced at $925 for the Multicolore, it is currently out of stock online so I would suggest contacting your local boutique. It also comes in the Vernis for $940. LVoe it!!!

Rainy Day LVook See



I know I should have not been been doing this today since it is Good Friday, but Angel, Eddy and I decided to drop by to LVook at sunnies only to be stopped in our tracks when we saw the Ailleurs Cabas Collection.

They were so colourful in a sea of browns that you would have to be really distracted not to notice them.
Spacious like the Neverfull, it has straps that could be adjusted for convenience.
They come in three prints designed by Pippa Cunningham: Promenade, Escale and Aventure. My favourite of all three is the Promenade due to its purple lining.
I felt like I was GoldiLVocks when I complained that they only have two sizes, PM and GM. I miss the middle ground between the two. It is a cruise bag after all so you would think that MM and GM would be more suited for stuffing things in.



Lastly the LVoely SA also brought out some Spring Summer goodies that have just arrived starting with the Avante Garde Pochette. Just in case that there is a smidgen of doubt that the clutch is not an LV, you have the VUITTON signature emblazoned with crystals at the front to save you. We also saw the Art Déco Trapèze and Baguette. The leathers are divine but easily impressed upon. The two that we were shown already had them. All in all it was a good day especially one person of our group acquired a new bag that wasn't in stock but would be delivered in the not so distant future. *WinK* LVoe it!!!

Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy Bandoulière


First of May ladies and gents!!! The long awaited Speedy with shoulder strap is finally arriving. Properly called Speedy Bandoulière, the iconic bag will be released in 25, 30, 35 and 40 and will be priced at $1010, $1030, $1050 and $1070. That's just a few days away! LVoe it!!!

Louis Vuitton Silk Carré Collection

A Carré is one of my favourite accessories. So, I am happy to blog that Louis Vuitton has a new silk collection but this time it is trimmed with tassels that weighs down the edges for an excellent drape effect. Sized at 28 x 28 inches (70x70cm), it is a traditional square with vibrant prints inspired by the Women's Spring Summer 2011 show. The price is a bit steep but all the same I LVoe it!!! Available at www.louisvuitton.com.


Louis Vuitton Avant-Garde Pochette


One of the jewels of the Spring Summer 2011 Collection is the Pochette Avant-Garde. Crafted out of goatskin and suede and embellished with 805 Swarovski crystals that forms VUITTON, this evening bag can easily serve as a fabulous day purse to carry essentials. It comes in Black and Plum and priced at $3060. The photo above was taken from Saks' catalogue. LVoe it!!!

Louis Vuitton Speedy MONOGRAM with Strap!!!

The hope of many is finally arriving! The Speedy Monogram Bandoulière is slated to be released on April 15th. It will come in all 4 sizes: 25, 30, 35 and 40 (numbers M40390, 91, 92, 93 respectively for those of you who LVike to speak in code to your SAs). Tentatively priced at $830, $915, $935 and $1030 but of course, the actual retail would be a tad bit higher, give or take 10%. Last year's Idylle paved the way and I know that a lot of you out there have been wishing for this day to come. The next question is, is it going to come out in Ebene and Azur?
For now, let us enjoy these photos of Michelle Williams as she goes skipping along with her Speedy 30 Bandoulière. LVoe, LVoe, LVoe it!!!

Leighton Meester


Leighton Meester wearing SS 2011 dress and the $11,000 Galuchat Art Nouveau clutch Absolutely, stunning! I missed this photo when she attended The Art of Elysium’s 4th Annual Black Tie “Heaven” Charity Gala on January 15.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Empire


Slowly trickling from Paris is the Monogram Empire Collection. Consisting of the Ponant (above) and Levant (below), these exquisitely fine shoulder bags are crafted with jacquard fabric and suede. But what makes the Empire special and expensive are the exotic python trims. I personally LVoe the brushed hardware detail that I believe is new for Vuitton. Colours will be violet and marron. I wish they made the green one as seen on the runway. LVoe it!!!
