While I have no idea who Paris Hilton’s new friend in the picture is (feel free to educate me), I sure know the fab bag that she’s sporting during their shopping spree. It’s no secret that I’ve turned into a Louis Vuitton bags lover! Obviously, being a fresh enthusiast, I had to educate myself about their whole lineup of bags. The bag in the picture is the Louis Vuitton Stamped GM, from LV’s recent Stamped Collection. Vuitton remembers back to their days as a trunk and luggage manufacturer with the big stamped trunk and bags house logo that’s been used since 1905. The GM is a spacious handbag in suede calf leather with double-zippered pocket and pressed stud detail. The inside is lined in LV’s signature monogram micro lining. What a beauty. I am not sure about the price, but my good guess would be something past $2k. As always, you can grab your authentic Louis Vuitton handbags only at eLuxury.com.

Update:The gal in question is Kim Kardashian, thanks bagbragger. I still have no clue who she is. Nor do I really feel like I’ll miss out on much if I’ll never know.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. To start of the week fresh, I would like to share some Vuitton’ish eye candy gone awfully wrong. A truely sharp thorn in each LV lover’s eye.

I can’t imagine what boss would ask her employee to ruin a perfectly good Speedy. Yikes. Via tPF via flickr.

The Louis Vuitton section of The Purse Forum is always hustle bustle and a wealth of knowledge about new bags. Yesterday Couturegrl inquired about a new LV bag she spotted in Cosmo magazine, and POOF! the detectives of tPF helped her find pics and an approximate price. The Louis Vuitton Patent Leather Monogram Satchel is a large body bag with a triangular shape. The approximate retail is $1680. Please let everyone on the forum know if you have any other information. Inquire with Louis Vuitton. Now back to the board!

After a day of carrying my new Louis Vuitton Taiga Dersou around New York City, I am confident to say that this is the ultimate man bag. No doubt about it.

Its strap is long enough for a comfortable cross-body fit (I am not a small guy at 6′1″, 215lbs…), the inside compartment fits my 17 inch Macbook Pro like it was made for it. I initially had eyeballed the smaller LV Viktor or LV Alexei, which wouldn’t have been wide enough for the laptop, though. If you are looking for a stylish messenger for your boyfriend, husband or yourself, those are definitely two models to consider. Being a guy who carries around his 17 inch Macbook like it was an essential part of my body, I had to go with a wider version. At the Louis Vuitton store on 5th Ave, the friendly SA presented me with the aforementioned models, but I ended up with the bigger Dersou, because it seemed to be big enough to fit the ‘puter. When I arrived at home, I realized that it actually did!

The Louis Vuitton Dersou is made of waterproof canvas, which makes it wind-and-weather proof and keeps its contents nicely dry. Whether you want to carry the $1,270 bag into the rain, is a different story. The flap is made of my favorite Louis material, the Taiga leather. The texture almost makes the leather seem like a vynal material, it seems very durable and I am sure it will be of great service for many, many years. Inside, you have a zipper compartment and two vertical patch pockets under the flap. An addictional large zippered pocket on the back gives extra storage space.

What can I say? I am loving it. This purchase is both exciting… and dangerous as well - I’ve already caught myself peeking at all the other wonderful men’s collection goodies Louis Vuitton has in store. The store experience itself was a lot of fun, I would like to thank my SA Sandy P. for her help and making me feel comfortable purchasing this bad boy. The Dersou, as well as many other Louis Vuitton bags, clothes and accessories are available through eLuxury.com. I don’t think I would ever purchase any high class item online though, the in-store experience is just too much fun!

Yes, it’s true. I’ve joined the dark side. Last night, after a crazy day, Megs and I strolled into the Louis Vuitton flagship store on 5th Ave in New York City and I walked out with a gorgeous Louis Vuitton Taiga Dersou Messenger Bag! It’s such a beauty, very discreet, the taiga leather is very durable and the silver bucket detail with LV engraving matches the black bag perfectly. It went for $1,270 plus tax, which seems like a lot, but considering that this bag will last forever, I don’t feel bad about it at all. To see more detailed pictures, hit the forum link below!

Denise Richards is teaching her little girl how to become a fashionista while she is still young. Denise is sporting the Louis Vuitton Néo Speedy in fuschia which shows her little girl that she is feminine, stylish, and ok without that jerk of a man. The handbag is available via eLuxury for $1390 and is to die for.

The chain link trend is in. You may see the nautical theme on the runway, in clothing, as jewelry, or even on bags. While I was not a huge fan of the LV Patent Leather Cain Handbags, there is a little something about the Louis Vuitton Velvet Chain Pochette Rabat that I find appealing. This crazy little combo intertwines soft viscose thread chains on a cotton canvas body and brown leather trim. You can chose between the beige or red combo, but the red is so gaudy in my eyes that it kills any and all appeal of the bag. The bag closes with a flap closure and has a leather shoulder strap with a golden metallic chain link to finish off the link theme. For fall, this bag could look cute with some outfits, but I don’t see it as a practical everyday bag. But the biggest downside of this bag, other than the red option, is that measuring in at 9.4″ x 6.3″ x 3″ this bag is going to cost you a whopping $2140 through eLuxury.

Guess what, Megs did some shopping and her new bag arrived last night. No use in keeping it a big secret, I am sure that our avid readers already know what it is… you still wanna head over to the forum thread and check out the pictures I took this morning. Congrats on the new bag love, now you can pay attention to me again!

Ok so I realize that I have been MIA for a while. My apologies. Work was taking over my life but now I won’t let it. To start off on the right foot with my paying more attention to the site, comes a purchase of a new bag. Yes, I had to do it Most and many are in the Speedy Club. Remember back in grade school when everyone got a Trapper-Keeper and you didn’t have a new hip one… well that is how left out I felt from the coveted LV Speedy. The Speedy boasts tons of exposure and is one of the most recognizable styles from LV. Right now, the Damier canvas Speedy’s are in stock and I just clicked on submit for my 30!!!

The Louis Vuitton Damier Canvas Speedy is trimmed in chocolate leather which flows perfectly with the Damier canvas. There is something about the Damier canvas that I love- very simple, but different in a way. The bag closes with a zip top and has a gold padlock. On the inside you will find red textile lining with a patch pocket to store some goodies. Available through eLuxury in the 25 (which measures 10″ x 7″) or through eLuxury in the 30 (which measures 12″ x 8″). I opted for the 30. Next week I will show you all some pictures (below is the 30)!!

After an amazing short trip to NYC with my mom and brothers, I am back at it. After spending the past few days int he city, I realized that I a) forgot to post my mom’s Mother’s Day gift b) need more cute clothes and c) do not own nearly the bag collection of most of the population of NYC. The only part of of that list that I can really change right now is (a). Sad, but that is all that is affordable (uploading pictures that I forgot about that is!) So, without further ado, I’d love to show you all my mom’s beautiful Louis Vuitton Epi Alma.

Check out the bag and flowers (compliments of her two wonderful and always nice sons )

And of course, the dog of dogs, Nitro poses with the beautiful bag too!

Make sure to look at the rest of the pictures over on the forum!! Hope you all are enjoying your Memorial Day Weekend!!
