LOUIS VUITTON HANDBAGS REVAMPS ALMA MM FOR STEPHEN SPROUSE

louis-vuitton-alma-mm-roses

The popular Alma MM Roses Bag from Louis Vuitton handbags has been given a twist of Stephen Sprouse’s signature design. Well, although the original Alma MM bags already have a striking color, incorporating Stephen Sprouse’s design all the more shows a 60’s feel to it in a much modern way of course.

It is already expected for it to retail at a hefty $2,610, since the original one is worth just a $100-less than this. LV’s Alma bags are already interesting, and having it as a tribute to Stephen Sprouse makes it even more appealing. It is of course made from discreetly embossed Monogram Vernis leather just as the original, only that it has been revamped with the late artist’s Roses pattern. We’ve already seen this design on other Louis Vuitton handbags, but perhaps it looks like it complemented well on this one as compared to the others.

Golden brass hardware and plain vernis leather trimming completes its overall design. It comes in a double zip opening that would show textile lining with cell phone and patch pockets on the inside. This gives an additional room to its already large 15.1 x 11.2 x 7.3 inches dimension.

This Louis Vuitton Alma MM Roses Bag  is available in Rose Pop, Orange Sunset and Vert Tonic colors, and whichever you choose would surely pull off a really fashionable look. You could simply tote it on a daily basis and even from morning until the after dark since this looks smart and classy for such.

MATERIAL GIRL LIVES UP WITH AN LOUIS VUITTON MAHINA XL HANDBAGS

louis-vuitton-mahina-xl-handbag

Madonna shows just how a Material Girl she is as she was spotted toting this very luxurious Louis Vuitton  Handbags. It obviously stood out from her rather neutral ensemble as it shows a beautiful contrast against it.  Though she looks a bit dull in her looks, you know that this successful artist still exudes that super-luxe appeal no matter how rugged her outfit may be.

So obviously the luxurious bag matches with her equally classic and luxurious totality. It retails for a hefty $3,360, and indeed, being an LV purse plus the fact that this is a practical carryall, you know it should be worth its price. It is made from soft and supple calf leather and it comes with subtle black-dipped, meticulous and precise perforated monogram pattern all throughout. This is actually a moon-inspired bag, with its name coming from a lunar deity in Polynesian culture, so obviously, the design all over has to do with it. The leather is softly drummed to pull up the grain, while shiny golden brass hardware adds a classier appeal to its totality.

Practically speaking, this bag is without a doubt very large at 29.5 x 12.8 x 9.8 inches dimension. It has an open top with banded push-lock closure, showing microfiber lining with leather-trimmed zipped pocket and D-ring on the inside. Now if your entire essentials still don’t fit, the buckled bands on the sides that create subtle gathers can be adjusted to widen the bag. This can be carried through its rolled leather handles though I doubt you would wear it on your shoulders since it would make you look odd.

I wonder what Madonna has got into her very large Louis Vuitton Mahina XL Handbag. But anyway, though the contrast on her ensemble looks great, you could still wear this with any types and colors of outfits since this bag shows versatility.

LOUIS VUITTON CABAS IPANEMA GM BAG M95984

louis-vuitton-cabas-ipanema-gm-totes

I was born in Miami Beach and have lived here my entire life, and, yet, I hate going to the beach. Yup! I can’t stand it. I avoid going like I would the plague. Go figure. However, I love beach gear. Bathing suits, sandals, sarongs, beach totes - you name it, I love it. If I were persuaded to schlep on over to the beach this summer, I’d love to carry my things inside this stylish beach tote.

 The Louis Vuitton Cabas Ipanema GM tote (also available in the smaller PM size) is the perfect beach bag if you want to look the part and don’t mind spending the money to do so. This $1250 tote is crafted from cotton canvas, sports a beautiful sculpted silhouette, and features an open top with snap closure, a front zippered pocket, interior patch pockets and an additional water-resistant wallet size pouch to keep your essentials dry. Measurements are 22 x 14 x 8.5.

Although I know a trip to the beach is highly unlikely for me, that doesn’t mean I can’t find plenty of places to tote my ‘Ipanema’ bag to. I live in Miami so this bag could be worn year-roun

LOUIS VUITTON GRAFFITI NEVERFULL GM M93702

louis-vuitton-monogram-graffiti-neverfull-gm

I know that the Stephen Sprouse collections have been a bit controversial among the Louis Vuitton Handbags, but for some reason, I can’t help but like them. Perhaps it’s because I’m a fan of the Sprouse aesthetic in general, or maybe because my generation is probably the target audience for pop-art fashion, or maybe it’s just because my personal taste can, at times, venture to the ridiculous. For whatever reason, I wish I had unlimited funds and a reason to own something like the Louis Vuitton Monogram Graffiti Neverfull GM.

As with all Neverfulls, I wish the strap was thicker, and if it was it would make a perfect school bag for a college kid that has everything (and I knew one or two of those during my undergrad years). Because of the utter ridiculousness of the bag - orange writing over brown and tan monogram - it’s one of those bags that you really wouldn’t need to try and match to anything. It’s iconic enough on it’s own that the only thing I would seriously advise against wearing it with would be another bold pattern. Other than that, go to town - wear it with whatever, but be proud. It’s the type of bag that you really have to own to pull it off.
