I am continually amazed at the difference in the Marc Jacob line of Louis Vuitton handbags and the line he does for Louis Vuitton. There is a definite disconnect there which confirms my theory that he allows his 20 Louis Vuitton handbags design assistants to use Louis Vuitton as practice for craft projects at the village crafts fair.
The Stephen Monogram Embossed Cuir bag from Louis Vuitton handbags was a limited edition bag Stephen Sprouse created for the runway in 2006 but is unfortunatley no longer available. Apparently High School Musical got a truckload as Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens each have it in different colors!
Who are these teenagers anyway and why are designers courting them? Do I sound jealous? I actually have a confession, the vintage-y vibe of the embossed leather with patent details greatly appeals to me.
I love all things Seventies; the feather hairdos, the flashy clothes, the platform shoes and most of all, the boho chic bags! Marc Jacob’s Olga Seventies Satchel will now be added to that list, it is a snob worthy bag no matter what angle you look at it (the only detail I could do without is the logo plaque).
It reminds me of the old days when Kelly and I were Louis Vuitton handbags addicts and wanted to cover ourselves in the classic monogram! I still have a vintage classic set of Louis Vuitton luggage from the 1970s given to me and I will never part with them, no matter how atrocious its new trendy bags are. So what do you think of the Stephen Cuir bag?
I love the small chain straps which look like an extension of the contrasting piping, which is fabulous in itself. It comes in two colors, ivory and indigo, I prefer the lighter ivory as it will look amazing with camel shades in the Fall.
