Louis Vuitton Aquarelle Bag Review

louis-vuitton-aquarelle-bag-replicaestore.com

The Louis Vuitton bag is a modified Watercolor Speedy, a more refined and chic style. It is so unique that it draws people’s attention without the person’s consciousness: the watercolor version of Louis Vuitton’s classic Monogram pattern, the pink leather and the brown python handle, everything about this bag is so strikingly beautiful, how can you not love it?

This is no doubt one of Louis Vuitton collector items. The color is so refreshing, the design so noble yet cute and the tone is luxurious, making it both suitable for work place and leisure time. I can’t wait to put it on my wish list.

LV Beach Collection Cabas Ipanema GM

There are some more less-common leather. Vachetta leather is used in the trimmings of luggages and hanbags, popularized by Louis Vuitton handbags. The leather is left untreated and is therefore susceptible to water and stains. Sunlight will cause the natural leather to darken in shade, called a patina. Slink is leather made from the skin of unborn calves. It is particularly soft, and is valued for use in making gloves. Nubuck is top-grain cattle hide leather that has been sanded or buffed on the grain side, or outside, to give a slight nap of short protein fibers, producing a velvet-like surface.

It measures 22″ x 14.1″ x 8.6″. One wallet sized, integrated, water resistant pouch. Can be carried on the shoulder with confortable tapered handles

GET THE LOOK: Pixie Lott’s Louis Vuitton pochette

Well, it seems these days to be a pop star you need a couple of things – a smash hit song (yup, fair enough), a fairly revealing wardrobe (just ask Lady Gaga!) and whaddaya know: a designer bag (helps if it’s Louis Vuitton, too).

Pixie Lott has burst onto the scene at a rather rapid rate, but that hasn’t stopped her from quickly donning the pop star ‘look’ and of course, building up her handbag collection.

If you’ve got secret pop star aspirations of your own, then you can always fast track requirement number three (LV acquisition) so just in case you are discovered by Simon Cowell, you’ve already got the bag thing down pat. We like this Pochette Tulum in the monogram canvas, which is similar to the one Pixie is holding. It’s small, but you’ll have an entourage to carry all of your belongings anyway! It’s priced at £220 from Louis Vuitton.

ASK THE BAG LADY: Your questions answered

- There is a bag that claudia schiffer is carrying that appears in sunday mirror mag (14.9.08). Would you be able to find out the make at all? so many thanks if you can and for trying. – Chris

Hi Chris, unfortunately I couldn’t nab myself a copy of the Sunday Mirror mag to see which bag exactly had caught your eye. But my guess is it is the bag above, as Claudia has been photographed with it quite often this year, and in particular around the end of August/early September which is the date of the mag you mentioned. This bag is a YSL Muse Two, in beige leather, and as you can see, looks fantastic whether you’re in your trackies or looking glam in a patent trench! It’s not cheap ($1,995) but looks set to become one of those timeless classics you’ll never regret purchasing.

Yves Saint Laurent Flap Shoulder Bag

I’ve had a bit of a crush on Yves Saint Laurent since their pre-fall bags started rolling out, and it doesn’t look to be ending any time soon. I normally prefer things with a bit more of an edgy look, so this might be a sign of maturation on my part. Or maybe the bags are just that good – maybe they’re so well-designed that it’s impossible not to find some kind of attractiveness in them, no matter what your personal taste.

I’m not sure which one it is, but I’m absolutely sure that I love the Yves Saint Laurent Flap Shoulder Bag. There’s a beauty in its simplicity that I find irresistible.

Yves Saint Lauren Flap Shoulder bag

And really, how could you not love it, or at least appreciate the restrained hand that created it? The leather that YSL chose is sumptuous, textured and with slight color variations, but none of those things is present in quantities that would make the bag look over-processed or unedited. The folds that create the flap are elaborate and luxurious, but when you look at the closed bag, they all fall perfectly in to line.

The hardware on the bag might be my favorite aspect. The hook handle attachments are something that YSL has shown on several other bags this season, and I can’t get over how much I like them. They’re sculptural and elegant while still being thick and tough; it’s an effect that matches exactly with the soft but weathered leather that makes up the bag, and the details are subtle enough to not overwhelm the deceptively simple construction.

I know some people will say that this bag is boring, but I would strenuously disagree. Everything that’s done with this bag is done with the utmost care and attention to detail, and I’d rather that a designer focus on getting a few key things exactly right than bog down a bag with poorly conceived design elements just for the sake of visual interest. My love affair with YSL continues

Christian Louboutin Mount Street Bag

I’ve come to a conclusion folks, I am constantly intrigued by Christian Louboutin handbags. It goes practically without saying, Louboutin shoes are gorgeous, chic, and often considered a must-have from any shoe lover. Well, what about the handbags? There are some out there who dismiss Louboutin handbags because they are over-priced and nowhere near as fabulous as the shoes.

Christian Louboutin Mount Street Bag

The Christian Louboutin Mount Street Bag is no different. Whether you like the bag or not, the fuchsia satin with a ruffle petal finish will grab just about anyone’s eye.

Hunting for the perfect Balenciaga bag

Balenciaga Bags

I have long been telling the story of my collection being Balenciaga-less. It is still Balenciaga-less, even though Vlad and I were on a mission to find me the perfect first Balenciaga bag when we were in NYC. What went wrong you ask, I’ll tell you below.

We started off at the Balenciaga NY store, which is truly off the beaten path near the Hudson River on 22nd Street. The store itself was confusing. As we walked through a cave-like entry way with boisterous music echoing loudly, we wondered if we ended up in the actual store or Balenciaga corporate headquarters. It was their store indeed, with fewer handbags than I expected and service lower than sub-par. Even if there were more BBags in the back room, no one asked us if we needed help, so we only saw what was on the floor. The bag selection was bleak and the service embarrassing, so we left still Balenciaga-less.
The next stop to try to find a Balenciaga bag was Barneys NY, which was right around the corner from our hotel. The service was impeccable. I was not certain of what color I was looking for, but both sale associates that helped Vlad and I went above and beyond. In fact, one SA filled both of her arms from shoulder to wrist with all of the Balenciaga City bags they had in the store. To my disappointment, none of them were a combination of color and hardware that I was looking for.

We left Barneys NY without a Balenciaga bag but with the pleasure of having received great service. Eventually I ended up with a different handbag on our NYC trip, a black Birkin. Yet I will still so disappointed not to find a Balenciaga bag. Don’t get me wrong, a new Birkin is out-of-this-world-amazing, but I had my mind set on a BBag.

Dear PurseBlog reader, I need your help. For all of you that know your Balenciaga colors and styles, help me finally find my first B-Bag. What I am looking for: Balenciaga City, smooshy leather, giant hardware, very wearable color (an everyday and every season color).

Help me out!

Fashion Week Spring 2010: Fendi Handbags

Fendi 8The Fendi Spring 2010 Handbags Collection is the very definition of a “mixed bag.” Har har, bag pun. I know, it was bad. I’ll stop.

Anyway, yes, the bags! Some were amazing – the new soft leather Peekaboos with wood or clear plastic handles were among my favorites, and the addition of exposed stitching, combined with the different handle textures, gives the shape a sense of style that it was missing in its more staid initial iterations. The bags look touchable and a bit vintage, just like the rest of Karl Lagerfeld’s breezy, Parisian collection for the brand.

Other standouts were the Perspex beveled clutches, some completely clear, others with slight tints or exterior studding. The bags were, of course, shown with nothing inside of them, and putting anything in them would be kind of a shame, but how else are you supposed to carry them? They were beautiful and a tad whimsical as art objects, and if the stuff you carry inside your clutches is very beautiful, they might be a workable choice.

And on the other hand, some things just didn’t work at all. We saw leather totes in a variety of colors with an odd, pansy-embroidered snap-on linen cover that was not only puzzling but also not particularly attractive, and Fendi would have done well to omit those completely and add more of the delicious Peekaboo styles, along with a few of the other wood-framed clutches and bags, to the collection instead. They were almost distractingly bad, but ultimately the preponderance of beautiful bags won out.
