Louis Vuitton Fall 2008

A peek of what’s in store for the Fall season from Louis Vuitton (if you don’t care, skip to the next entry); I am going to take the high road and only review the bags that did not make me cringe (you have eyes, go to see the scary ones for yourself).  I fear I have turned in to a major grouch when it comes to LV bags but then today I came upon my set of antique Louis Vuitton luggage my friend gifted me when I gave birth and it brought back all the love I used to have for this brand.  As you see, for Fall, the monogram and logo remain strong.  It’s the brand’s bread and butter, why change it and go all simple and logo-less a la Bottega Veneta right?  I mean how fun would that be?  Who would we make fun of if Marc Jacobs started offering understated and subtly chic bags?  We love Marc Jacobs because he shakes things up!  So, back to the bags.  Richly textured (looks like suede or could be fabric according to my source) with exotic detailing like python handles and ostrich trim, it is so lovely I can even overlook the monogram.  I am especially liking the winter white version with python shoulder strap, it looks so luxurious next to the white cashmere coat.  Is there anything more delicious than a white cashmere coat? I have to say, the Louis Vuitton ready to wear from MJ is exceptional this season.   I can’t wait to see the entire collection in person.  What do you think?  Will you ever be lured back to Louis Vuitton bags?
