LVook-See of Cruise 2009's Galliera Python

Another piece that caught our wandering eyes was the Galliera in Python. Brought in for the store's special event, the exotic piece is a sight to behold. Lined in beige, buttery-soft leather, it contrasts perfectly with the reptilian exterior. If you don't like snakes, this is not for you because you could actually feel the scales brushing against your skin. It is a bit rigid as opposed to other exotic bags that I have felt before. The size is GM so it's a lot of snake to take in. If I could cough up $8500, this sepentine baby would have gone home with me. LVoe it!!!

Let's Cruise on Over Part Deux

I just pruned my roses today due to the LVoely weather and I thought to myself, wow, Spring is already upon us! So I figured, I will have to feature the rest of the Cruise 2009 Collection. First off, the Monogram Scuba Totes . Coming in sizes GM and MM, these neoprene Neverfulls are a delight to see. I heard that the GM is humongous and a sales associate could well fit it in. I've only seen the MM that Angel is dying for. The black leather trim also give some classiness to the look of the bag. Both sizes comes in fuchsia and orange and are priced at $2580 GM and $1940 MM.

Let's Cruise on Over

With the temperatures rising in my part of the world and Spring is almost upon us, I decided to feature the Travel Shoppers that are being offered by Louis Vuitton for Cruise-Resort 2009. First off, let's take a look at the Traveller: As you all know, Jerome has this bag. Crafted out of coated canvas with a buttery soft leather trim, the graphic 1929 logo resurrected from the LV archives is proudly emblazoned in black on the bag's surface. I'm kinda worried about how they affixed the lettering on this piece. It's silk screened onto the canvas that could potentially peel off in time. It's very different from the Groom or Multicolore collection wherein the print seems sturdier (but even those we know from experince chafe off). We'll just have to wait and see. Check out detail shots of this bag from my previous post.
Up next is the petite version that is called the Rider: Sporting über long shoulder straps, this pocketbook, if I may call it that, is perfect to stuff just the essentials. Unlike it's older brother, the Rider comes in the Cruise colors fuschia and orange. I have yet to see this in real life but take a look at the modelling pics in my previous post. $2420 for the Traveller and $1940 for the Rider. LVoe it!!!
