Reviews and Articles for Latest Designer Handbags and Purses From Louis Vuitton,Gucci,Chanel,Dior,Hermes,Coach

It is hard to know when is the best time to do certain thing,  and it is amazing that Marc Jacobs actually knows well what will be in the spotlight for special season. Sometimes his designs are eccentric and sometimes they are extremely sophisticated. What suprised me more is that they all come out in the right time.

Such is the case of this Marc Jacobs Boho Woven Hobo, whereas looking at it would already tell that this is just the ideal thing to carry around for the spring and summer. Its shade is so versatile in taupe leather, making it a timeless carryall.

Now to give that rather neutral shade some accent, this bag actually has metallic embossed leather basket weave overlay, and you know that such woven design is just the thing this season. To add to that, this hobo also comes with fringes in multiple colors, hanging from the sides down until the bottom, giving this its casually chic bohemian look.

This Marc Jacobs Boho Woven Hobo then has 11½ x 17 x 6 inches dimension, enough to have it as your everyday handbag. It has a zip on top, which would show the interior in brown satin lining and with zip and open pockets to create more room.

This Marc Jacobs Boho Woven Hobo will surely look perfect for the summer if you pair it with your vibrant light-weathered dress or perhaps even with jeans for a classic take. Pre-Order this bag for $1,795. I would rather buy a Replica Marc Jacobs  Bag instead.

Marc Jacobs turns his design to the glitter sequins nowadays, so it is not that suprising to see this Marc Jacobs New York Rocker Little Stam Bag. This bag stands out not because of its appealing shape but because of the material it used. That is real sparking.

I don’t think this Marc Jacobs New York Rocker Little Stam Bag would make of a great everyday handbag nor it will make of a chic day-time carryall since its sparkly design doesn’t look apt for such. Instead, this looks more like an evening bag, but I doubt its dimension is appropriate for an evening occasion, not unless you are going to use it on a gimmick at a club, I guess.

So anyway, this bag is indeed embellished with dazzling sequins all over and with studs along the top, combining metallic bronze  or blue and gold colors. These are indeed a brilliant and gaudy combination for an everyday handbag, though good thing it comes trimmed in tan leather for a hint of subtleness.

This Marc Jacobs New York Rocker Little Stam Bag is definitely quite large for evening use with its 13 x 9 x 3 inches dimension. It has a gold-tone kiss-lock closure on top, which would show the fully lined interior with a zipper pocket. The strap also comes in gold-tone chain with a shoulder panel and 11-inch drop for easy carry.

Buy this Marc Jacobs New York Rocker Little Stam Bag for $995, which would be far enough for a Replica Marc Jacobs Bag.

What would happen if six masters of art from different walk of life come together and create an exclusive line?  It is even impossible how brilliant it will be. But now the dream has come true. Creative director of Louis Vuitton Marc Jacobs collaborates with photographer Annie Leibovitz, musician Gustavo,chef Ferran Adrià, photographer Annie Leibovitz,artist Damien Hirst and Patrick Louis Vuitton, successor of renown fashion house, to commemorate L’Excellence du Savoir-Faire with 6 masterpieces

The activity also aims to benefit the Red Cross. Yves Carcelle, President of Louis Vuitton said: “For over a century and a half, Louis Vuitton’s Asnières workshop has been the living symbol of the company’s unique combination of tradition and innovation. To mark this important anniversary, Louis Vuitton will celebrate ‘l’Excellence du Savoir-Faire’ through its heritage of Special Orders by partnering with some of today’s iconic figures who themselves possess a rare expertise.”

Since its creation in 1854, Louis Vuitton has offered customers the possibility of producing Special Orders to cater a specific need or to fulfil a particular desire. In order to celebrate over a century and a half of exceptional savoir-faire at Louis Vuitton’s first workshop in Asnières, France, Louis Vuitton offered six masters of savoir-faire the opportunity to create a unique Special Order that embodies their exceptional expertise in their respective professions. The six personalities are the artist Damien Hirst, the chef Ferran Adrià, the photographer Annie Leibovitz, the musician and composer Gustavo Santaolalla, the designer Marc Jacobs, and Patrick-Louis Vuitton, the head of Louis Vuitton’s Special Orders department and a member of the fifth generation of the Vuitton family. Each piece was designed by Patrick-Louis Vuitton in collaboration with the personality.

Uniting tradition and modernity, these pieces are testament to Louis Vuitton’s savoir-faire in the domain of Special Orders. Ranging from hard-frame to soft-sided, they are interpreted in a variety of materials, from Monogram and Damier Graphite canvas, to Nomade leather and alligator. In addition to the six unique special orders created by the masters of savoir-faire, the auction will also include a limited-edition Red Cross medical trunk, crafted by Louis Vuitton to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Red Cross. These Special Orders will have travelled the world to cities such as Mexico City, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Dubai, Seoul and New York between July and November 2009, for a series of exclusive viewings by clients of Sotheby’s and Louis Vuitton.

Cheyenne Westphal, Sotheby’s Chairman of Contemporary Art Europe, commented: “We are thrilled to host this gala dinner charity auction in November, the proceeds of which will benefit such a worthy cause. The auction will showcase pieces created by some of the most talented individuals in their respective professions and the sale of these limited-edition pieces will no doubt generate tremendous excitement and interest.”

Sotheby’s London will co-host the gala charity sale of these unique special pieces at its New Bond Street premises on November 17th, 2009. The proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Red Cross for their Fight against Malnutrition programme in Nigeria.

Louis Vuitton went all youthful this season, creating a collection for teenagers determined to get some distance from their parents with Euro-rail train passes, one-way tickets to Bali or party package holidays in the sun.

“Last season we did the muses; so this season we looked at the kids, the streets, the global travelers,” said Jacobs, referring to the previous Fall 2009 collection, which referenced great French women of elegance.

Every model in the Spring 2010 collection, shown in Paris on Wednesday, Oct. 7, wore a wig the size of a 30-inch diameter exercise ball, replete with little silk bows, and all of them carried bags, though not in their hands, but swung over their shoulders or strapped around their waists like fanny packs. Most of these were huge, ideal for a postmodern hippie tramping around India, or crashing on a friend’s couch for an extended Ibiza clubbing weekend.

Using glitzy, shiny silks and bumpy surfaced cottons, the sort that look used even brand new, Jacobs whipped up saucy apron dresses featuring lacy bras. There was a sense that the clothes did not matter all that much, but the attitude did, as did the bags, which all had plenty of novelty and pep. The shoes, did, too – weird moccasins with metallic stud heels and strands of hair sticking out, just like the pair Jacobs wore while taking his bow.

When Madonna showed up at the Met’s Costume Institute gala earlier this year dressed like an elegant escapee from the Crazy Horse, complete with rabbit-ear headgear, little did we suspect we that we were getting a sneak preview of the fall Louis Vuitton campaign. In this exclusive video appearing next week on louisvuitton.com, Marc Jacobs takes us behind the scenes of that Steven Meisel shoot, starring Madonna and featuring cameo appearances by the hairstylist Guido, the makeup artist Pat McGrath (who sports her own set of mini-bunny ears) and the stylist Marie-Amelie Sauvé. “Clothes to me mean nothing,” Marc insists. “It’s the person in them that gives them the life and personality.” Bags, we presume, are another story.

Louis Vuitton launched a series of red punches seeming to warm the cold seasons. Nostalgic atmosphere, black and white photos, and red color in the dark, everything exudes Marc’s idea for the bags.

Obviously, this season, Marc Jacobs falls in love with massive handbags. From Neverfull to Totally, their names and GM size exude his idea to function and trend. This time, Louis Vuitton launched Scuba GM from the Cruise collection. Its huge dimension inherits Louis Vuitton’s feature of this year. And its material is creative of neoprene in conformity with its name- Scuba.

Scuba, an acronym for self contained underwater breathing apparatus literally, is made from neoprene, a synthetic rubber for waterproofing that is used in Louis Vuitton purse.  This innovative purse is lightweight coming in two striking fluorescent colors: Fuchsia and Orange, both of which makes a must have summer accessory.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Scuba GM can be carried comfortably by hand or carried on the wrist thanks to the black leather wrist strap that surely compliments the neon neoprene. The purse also features the striking 1929 Louis Vuitton golden brass plaque that adds glam to its whole look. The size of this Scuba GM is 23.6 inches in length, 18.1 inches in width, and 12.2 inches in height. It is versatile for downtown and beach.

But there is one thing need to confirm. Is it worth $2,580 for this neoprene purse? We know that neoprene is usually used in a wide variety of applications, such as in wetsuits. Neoprene is just the trade name used by DuPont Performance Elastomers. It is not expensive after all. Just for it comes from Louis Vuitton? Or maybe some high technology used in it boosted as SA? This time, Marc Jacobs is really a touch of overestimating himself.

The top fashion house, Louis Vuitton always walked the line between fashion and art, and collaborations have punctuated in its long history. In 1980s Louis Vuitton started working with painters like César, Sol LeWitt and Olivier Debré. From that on these richly textured collaborations became a tradition and reached a new level when Marc Jacobs joined the House in 1997. During his career as the creative director, Vuitton has worked in conjunction with Stephen Sprouse, Takashi Murakami and most recently American artists Richard Prince and Kanye West.

Based on such situation, Louis Vuitton is going to release a book, Louis Vuitton: Art, Fashion and Architecture, to give you a detailed look into the various collaborative projects that the brand has been involved in. This book is dedicated to present us the unique creations forged between Louis Vuitton and a growing number of designers from the worlds of art, architecture, design, photography and fashion. The content includes the 400 pages critical essays related to Louis Vuitton contemporary creation as well as illustration with 400 color documents. This book will be published on September 1st in three languages, French, English and Italian.

While the Chairman and CEO of Louis Vuitton, Yves Carcelle, was interviewed, he answered three questions related to these books.

Why publish today a retrospective book on the major collaborations of Louis Vuitton?
At Louis Vuitton, the influence of art has been an obvious inspiration for new products, store architecture, artistic collaborations, and for the Maison’s advertising campaigns. Our will to build and grow our relationship with the contemporary art world has led us to work with numerous artists of our times such as photographers, architects and fashion designers. It was essential for Louis Vuitton to trace, through an enthralling anthology, its most significant artistic collaborations. In this book, the focus remains on artists that have impacted the history of Louis Vuitton.

What is Louis Vuitton’s role in the world of the contemporary creation?
Of all modern luxury brands, Louis Vuitton can claim to maintain the richest and most varied associations with the world of art – indeed, it is a tradition that dates back almost to the origins of the House. This desire to continuously create and reinvent, whilst maintaining and transmitting the history and identity of the brand, has been transformed into multiples collaborations, most of time quite unexpected. Constantly renewed under the influence of Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton’s commitment to the arts has recently been underscored by the establishment of the Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation, announced in October 2006 by Bernard Arnault, Chairman & CEO of LVMH/Moët Hennessy.Louis Vuitton. The future Fondation will be an exciting new space and concept intended to stimulate dialogue with a wide audience and offer artists and intellectuals a platform for discussion, inspiration and reflection. If the brand inspires artists, designers and architects, they, in return, inspire Louis Vuitton. This mutual inspiration is very challenging and productive, not only for the luxury world, but also for the contemporary art world.

How do you explain the success of Louis Vuitton’s collaborations?
Fashion, luxury, art and architecture unite to propose a new vision of the world and take us away from the ordinary. Contemporary art gives us an alternative point of view. Modern architecture, inseparable from the luxury world, plays a key role in setting Louis Vuitton’s name in present time. The fashion industry and its designers give a fresh energy and a unique creativity to the House’s ready-to-wear collections. A contemporary artist, whether he is an architect, a photographer or a fashion designer, often produces unexpected creations. It is a bold challenge for Louis Vuitton and I believe that only a handful of brands have been able to surpass the boundaries to this point between luxury and contemporary creation.

Here are some pictures from the book for your appreciation.

Louis Vuitton held a Stephen Sprouse Graffiti Launch Party on January 9th to pay homage to this great American artist who passed in 2004, with the release of the limited editon Graffiti line.

Stephen Sprouse, a fashion designer credited with pioneering the 1980s mix of “uptown sophistication in clothing with a downtown punk and pop sensibility”, collaborated with Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton in 2001 made the graffiti-printed fashion. This is a great and bold attempt for conservative Louis Vuitton. All graffiti pieces are sold out instantly. Then, they have a wider-ranged cooperation. In 2002, Stephen Sprouse created a vast collection of men’s and women’s apparel, home accessories, sports gear, etc.

In this launch party, one of graffiti collection, Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse Graffiti Speedy 30, are revisited in fluorescent Monogram Graffiti canvas, channeling the culture of the present times. Speedy 30 is a classic silhouette in style for years to celebrities, going well with everything, from jeans to dresses. Meanwhile, it is function. The monogram canvas is lightweight, supple, strong and sturdy. Completely waterproof, it is highly resistant to surface scratches- prefect for travel and contemporary lifestyles. Now, Stephen Sprouse provided the crowning touch to Speedy 30. His casual graffiti sets the fashion in easy luxury going with the times. Holy Grail, exquisiteness, and elegance but also upbeat, exaggeration, and individuality, people require more for their bags and Stephen Sprouse just hit their fancy.

Measuring 11.8 inches in length and 8.3 inches in height, three colors are available- fuchsia, orange and green. This bag features natural cowhide leather, darken over times into that lovely aged golden color, and is accessorized with the traditional shiny golden brass hardware, and the zip top closure with padlock. The spacious interior is dressed in fine textile lining with an interior patch pocket, ideal for your cell phone. The size is really amazing prefect for your daily mission.

No wondering the Graffiti Speedy 30 is passionately adored by so many Hollywood stars, Madonna with Sunset Orange, Heiress with Fuchsia, and Agyness Deyn with Neon Green. It is really hot and vintage.

I tried to use the things in Stephen’s vocabulary, and give the collection the shape, silhouette and styling that Stephen would have done when he was at the top of his game. It really is a complete homage, and a complete combination of what is Louis Vuitton, and what is this legendary icon, and then what are the icons and the lasting aesthetics that Stephen left in the fashion world.” – Marc Jacobs

2009 is a year to memorialize the great American artist Stephen Sprouse in the House of Louis Vuitton. Marc Jacobs chose to revisit the two motifs which, for him, best represent the legacy of Stephen Sprouse at Louis Vuitton: the graffiti and the rose. After the huge success of the limited-edition Stephen Sprouse collection, Stephen Sprouse’s rose motif appears on the Alma bag which was launched in new, eye-popping shades of glossy Monogram Vernis leather. The classical Louis Vuitton Alma MM in Monogram Vernis leather is revamped with the Roses pattern of the artist. The Louis Vuitton Alma MM Roses bag is discreetly embossed Monogram Vernis leather, textile lining, plain vernis leather trimmings. The golden brass pieces and double brass pieces opening and padlock and removable key holder make the liquid-like appearance more elegant and delicate. The bag measures 15.1″ x 11.2″ x 7.3″ and the inner phone and patch pockets add its practicality. With discreet Louis Vuitton signature and flashy colors, Rose Pop, Vert Tonic and Orange Sunset, the Louis Vuitton Alma MM Roses Bags gives us the grant fashion banquet in this spring/summer. We cannot deny that the essence of this bag is the rose motif. There is a story behind this rose design. In the mid-1970s, the designer got his hands on a state-of-the-art Xerox color copier, and started to enlarge images multiple times until they became distorted and abstract. And then the rose was used to mark his ‘thank you’ cards. In 2000, the rose featured on ready-to-wear and now takes its place as a Stephen Sprouse icon on the Louis Vuitton Alma MM Roses Bags. Now this bag, as a full-blown rose, is blooming in the fashion stage.

“Model as Muse” is the impression that Costume Institute Gala at the Met leaves me. So many celebrities wearing luxury want more flash. There are two courses of action: decide to be happy in your own skin, stick to what suits you and realize you are never ever going to outshine Gisele and Kate; or go into hyper-competitive mode and try and steal the limelight away from the “The Supers”.

Madonna really won in this Party. Louis Vuitton catwalk show, this time the collection for next autumn/ winter, finally settling on a teal taffeta puffball with thigh-high, black, “Belle Époque” boots and a turquoise “bunny ears” hat. Please not unsurprisingly, the concoction, which had looked “absolutely fabulous” in a bizarre kind of way, on a model, on the Paris catwalk, in March, failed on “Our Madge” and looked merely ridiculous.

Just having the guts and the gumption to wear something outrageous does not a style icon make. Surely it is time for Madonna to invest in a little grown-up glamour.

Kate Moss, meanwhile, one of the evening’s hosts, along with Marc Jacobs, Justin Timberlake and Anna Wintour- looked every inch the glamour goddess. Her dress was a shimmering metallic, toga-style gown with a wing of fabric cascading from the left shoulder, also by Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton, and with it, in typical Kate fashion, she added a matching turban. There are few women who can dress for optimum effect without the security blanket of a curtain of hair- “Mossy” is one of them.
