Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton Malletier, commonly referred to as Louis Vuitton(/ˈluːiː vwiːˈtɒn/; French: [lwi vɥi'tɔ̃]), or shortened to LV, is a French fashion house founded in 1854 by Louis Vuitton. The label's LV monogram appears on most of its products, ranging from luxury trunks and leather goods to ready-to-wear, shoes, watches, jewelry, accessories, sunglasses, and books. Louis Vuitton is one of the world's leading international fashion houses; it sells its products through standalone boutiques, lease departments in high-end department stores, and through the e-commerce section of its website. For seven consecutive years (2006–2012) Louis Vuitton has been named the world's most valuable luxury brand. Its 2012 valuation is 25.9 billion USD.

What’s In My LV Bag?

I’ve decided to show you the contents of what’s in my bag! Actually, Lotus requested that I do this post a really long time ago and I was total slacker and didn’t do it until now. Apologies for how long it took me!

 

The bag: Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM – I know a lot of people don’t like the Louis Vuitton monogram because it’s like a walking advertisement for the brand, however it doesn’t bother me. Even if the bag didn’t have LV all over it, I would totally still buy it as it’s been on the best bags I’ve purchased. I love how easy it is to carry (never slips off my shoulders like some bags) and it can carry a whole lot! I sometimes even stick my work laptop in there (and that is a very large laptop!)

Louis Vuitton Speedy – LV Classic And Iconic Bag

The Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag (More) is one of the most classic, most iconic, most recognizable bags of all time. Many designers have tried to channel the Speedy when designing a bag, but nothing beats the original. The shape alone is worth buying (which is a major part of it being a Speedy). Now comes in personal preference. The LV Speedy does not fit over your shoulder, at all. My Speedy bags sit at the crux of my arm, and depending on how much I put in the bag they end up being heavy and hurting my arm a bit. So I just use it as a hand-held bag, and that is the true use. If you are looking for a bag to go over your shoulder, this is not the bag for you.

 

Furthermore, the Louis Vuitton Speedy does not keep its shape very well. The larger the Speedy size, the more you will lose the shape. Also, the more you put in the bag, the more it will lose its shape. There are aftermarket items used to give the shape back to your bag, but without that, your Speedy will slouch. An inside zip pocket helps out with some organization, but not much.

It sounds like I only gave negatives for the Speedy, which was not my intention. I love my Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag, and I own 3 of them. The 25 cm, 30 cm, and 35 cm. The 35 cm is best for everyday use and will hold more essentials. It will never change being one of the most classic handbags ever. I personally love it, but felt the need to share the downsides.

Why Celebrities Love Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag

I guess, many women share my love for the Louis Vuitton Speedy bag! First, of all it has the space for all my everyday stuff! Second, I believe that it will outlast me! I can’t help but marvel at its durability!! Third, the shape is timeless, ergo, it will always be in fashion which translates to many years of use = value for my money!! Lastly, since it comes in all kinds of designs and several sizes, it is so easy to pick out one that will match my personality and needs!

 

I looked for photos of my favorite celebrities and their Louis Vuitton Speedy bags in the internet, and here they are for you to enjoy too!

Louis Vuitton Bag – Louis Vuitton Speedy And Neverfull

The Louis Vuitton Speedy is one of the most classic, most iconic, most recognizable handbags of all time. Many designers have tried to channel the Speedy when designing a bag, but nothing beats the original. The shape alone is worth buying (which is a major part of it being a Speedy). Now comes in personal preference. The Speedy does not fit over your shoulder, at all. Speedy bags sit at the crux of your arm, and depending on how much you put in the bag they end up being heavy and hurting your arm a bit. So you should just use it as a hand-held bag, and that is the true use. If you are looking for a bag to go over your shoulder, this is not the bag for you.

 

The Louis Vuitton Neverfull, which has become another House staple. How can you not love this bag? It is lightweight, roomy, and reversible. The strongest point of this bag is its ease of use. The side laces allow you to tighten the bag into a more compact shape or let them out to a full tote size. Either way, the volume of the inside of the bag is vast. And of course, it is reversible, which is a nice touch and not found on many (if any) designer handbags.

It is not that the Speedy is not lightweight, but the large and long shoulder straps of the Never full will allow you to put this bag over your shoulder with ease and allocate the weight better for carrying. The shoulder straps are long and slender, without any additional chains or weight, which will not have it dig into your body.

The look of the bag is not nearly as iconic as the Speedy, but it is a great, simple, everyday tote. And an everyday tote is an essential for any collection.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Transparent – LV Spring 2012 Bag

“We made the decision we wanted to behave very pretty, and incredibly gentle, and incredibly loving, and merely grow it with pretty colors and delightful light, luminous textures, stuff that were translucent and transparent. We desired to define your body and also to create shapes, but have air and lightness and gentleness,” stated Marc Jacobs backstage after his Spring/Summer time 2012 fashion show for Louis Vuitton.

The season’s Leather Goods translate this light, airy spirit, in soft shapes and sorbet shades, and though – as with the ready-to-wear – there are echoes of the strict, fetish-inspired Fall/Winter 2011 collection, notably in the spotlight turned once again on the iconic Lockit bag, the result is quite different.

Monogram Transparent

 

The Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2012 fashion show opened with variations of the Lockit in sheer nylon voile. Three shapes – a dainty clutch, the classic Lockit and the stretched Lockit East-West – are embroidered inside and out with the Monogram pattern and trimmed with white leather, creating a pure white-on-white look that is one of the key directions of the season.
