With louis vuitton’s renewed interest in high-dollar, logo-wary customers has come a bevy of new products that are set to take the brand in a new, more sophisticated direction for Fall 2013. First came the wide-gusseted W Bag, which had commenter reactions seemingly split right down the middle, and now we have the louis vuitton Capucines Bag, which borrows the name and a detail or two from a classic Vuitton bag but expands on them to form something ladylike and luxurious.
We first spotted this bag on the arm of Angelina Jolie a couple of weeks ago, and it’s a perfect pick for her style – neutral, elegant, understated. The bag is an important addition to Vuitton’s lineup, because not only is it all leather (which appeals to Vuitton’s desired clientele and allows the brand to price it prohibitively for aspirational customers), but its minimally branded. The LV that you see above is totally optional, gucci outlet and if the wearer prefers, it can be covered by a flap that’s tucked inside in promotional photos. Instead of the well-known letters, it bears a more subtle star motif that plays a secondary role in the iconic Vuitton monogram print. It’s still LV, but it’s not a literal LV, which is an important distinction for many of the most high-end customers.
The bag comes in two sizes, MM and GM, with a 1.5 inch difference in width between them (14.2 for the MM, 15.7 for the GM) and a price difference of $450 ($5,150 vs. $5,600). That kind of pricing puts the brand firmly in Hermes territory, a comparison that Vuitton is likely hoping to draw with its new leather offerings and their attendant prices. Currently, the GM only comes in two colors (black and red), while the MM comes in a range of six shades, including one that’s strikingly similar to Hermes’ signature orange. The bags’ hardware varies between silver and gold, depending on the leather color. Check out some of our favorite versions below or get more information about both the MM and GM versions via louis vuitton.
Actually, this is a bit of a re-introduction or, perhaps, a formal introduction. Many of you have already seen the new louis vuitton outlet W Bag in the arms of Michelle Williams, who stars in the brand’s fall handbag ads, but now we have a close-up look at all five versions of the bag, which is one of Vuitton’s marquee new pieces for Fall 2013.
Monogram haters, take a seat – even though this bag doesn’t come in any entirely logo’d versions, you will find the iconic logo gracing the gussets of four out of five colorways, both in the traditional coated canvas and tonal leather with flocked motifs for a bit of added texture. The fifth version, alternately features overlaid flowers in a black-and-white check print. (At least I think they’re flowers; because of the check print, finding the edges of the forms in photos can be a little dizzying.)
I hold out hope for a future version of this bag without the monograms, Christian Louboutin Outlet but as it stands, the bag has grown on me a bit since I first encountered it. Although it plays on the ever-popular element of flared gussets a la Celine, Vuitton’s designers have done perhaps the best job of any major brand making the look their own, bringing the line of the gussets in well past their traditional borders at the edge of a bag’s front panel. I’m still not entirely convinced about the handle attachments, but they do mirror the slanted lines of the bag’s design quite well.
The bag comes in two sizes, PM and GM – the PM is 13 inches wide, while the GM reaches almost 16. The shape starts at $3,700 for a PM mixture of leather and canvas and tops out at $5,150 for a GM all-leather bag. You’ll be able to shop these bags this fall via louis vuitton outlet.
Angelina Jolie was recently spotted motoring around LA with her eldest son Maddox, carrying a brand new louis vuitton purses Capucines Bag. The bag only comes in leather and is missing 99% of the conspicuous LV logos you’d usually expect to see, which is indicative of louis vuitton handbags’s desire to capture more high-dollar customers with comparatively less flashy, more high-end leather products that appeal to a broader range of designer bag fans. The Capucines isn’t an entirely new design from LV of course, simply a reinvigorated one. You can purchase it for the very Angelina Jolie appropriate price tag of $5,150 at louis vuitton bags.
Angelina starred in a michael kors “Core Values” campaign back in 2011, so she’s definitely a friend of the brand. Now discontinued, the “Core Values” campaigns were meant to emphasize heritage over high fashion, promoting values such as craftsmanship, integrity, and the cosmopolitan nature of the brand. I have a hunch that the campaign mainly exists to help you free your mind of all the brand associations you have with the myriad of LV-lugging celebrities you love to loathe, if only for a moment.
Everyone loves handbags (everyone here, at least) and everyone loves animals (unless you’re a sociopath, in which case, I’m a little creeped out), so it’s not particularly surprising that the animal sculptures that michael kors outlet commissioned from British artist Billie Achilleos have taken on a life of their own. Achilleos’ work was first intended for display at the brand’s London maison, but since its debut, the collection has traveled among some of Vuitton’s fanciest boutiques. Now that the animals are making a stop in the brand’s Waikiki store, there’s a new dude in town – a
michael kors outlet turtle.
As some of you already know, all of the animals in this collection are made out of Michael Kors Outlet leather goods – not the raw materials, but the goods themselves, deconstructed to their basic parts and reassembled as sculptures of animals, from the mundane to the exotic. The turtle, meant to embody Hawaiian turtle goddess Kaiula who watches over children on the shores, was made especially for the Honolulu boutique. The full collection, which you can see below, will be on display in gucci bags the store through August 31.
