Just when I find something I like from Louis Vuitton in the Lockit, they go and do something crazy like release the Louis Vuitton Summer 2008 collection.
Just look at the horror!
I hate it!
The bags are tacky and look terrible. I cannot imagine anyone wanting to pay those crazy prices for something that looks like that.
I passed by the LV store in KLCC a couple of days ago and saw the Rayures Tote PM up on the shelf. I’m sorry, it looks even more foul in person. Marc Jacobs - are you on drugs or something?!
*shudder*
Passing by the Louis Vuitton store one night, my eye was drawn to this bag in the window. I must have looked a sight as I peered into the window, drooling over this beauty. It didn’t help that the store was closed too!
Looking it up online, I found out that its a LV Lockit MM in Suhaili Leather.
I don’t know what it is about the design that really drew me to it. It looks like a hand held bag due to the short handles and its quite big even looking at it in the window. It looks like it could probably fit a ton; and since its leather it might weigh a ton too.
The specifications from the LV site is:-
- Suhaili goatskin and polyester lining
- Golden brass pieces
- Zipper closure with padlock
- Inside patch pocket and cell phone pocket
- Contrasting topstitch and traditional studs of the House
- Carried on the shoulder or hand held
- LV Padlock
- Small detachable bell to hold the key
- 4 protective studs on the bottom
It looks like the Lockit MM is the larger version while there is a similar design in a smaller version called the Lockit PM. I think the PM version would likely suit me better.
What’s the damage? US$2,880 for the Lockit MM and US$2,440 for the Lockit PM. *whimper*
Louis Vuitton is cashing in on the upcoming Valentine’s Day hype. If you have someone who can afford to buy you Louis Vuitton bags and accessories, now’s the time to run along down to the LV store and pick out your Valentine’s day gifts!
LV has gone all shiny for Valentine’s Day with its monogram vernis leather. That’s the shiny embossed one that makes me wonder if its leather or patent leather. Patent leather, no matter what its called, is simply synthetic leather - that’s how they get the high shine.
Details aside, I love the deep eggplant purple colour of the vernis leather (Violette). The Sunset Boulevard clutch (top left) caught my eye. I like the design and colour though the monogram puts me off a tad.
The Roxbury Drive bag (top right) again is a baguette bag that caught my eye for colour rather than design. LV says it can be carried by its strap or by its handle. Personally I think I’d prefer it carried by its handle because it looks a bit awkward carried by the strap.
I liked the red and bronze coloured wallets in vernis leather. However, experience with patent leather on wallets has taught me not to go near it because wallets scratch easily.
And finally, the cute little Heart coin purses. I’d been looking high and low for a nice coin purse for ages. Might this one do it? 
I wonder what the price is like though. Staggering, I’d expect.
