LOUIS VUITTON FUTURISTIC BAG

Other Brands

Is the futuristic bag the next big thing? Are we moving that fast in fashion? Well, we know that a lot of brands have started introducing futuristic handbags including Chanel. Now Louis Vuitton is catching this new wave. So for the Fall Winter 2017 Collection, meet LV’s version of futuristic design. It’s sophisticated, robotic and so different (for sure!).

The Design

Did this fresh design ‘WOW’ you when it was first released in the Fall Winter 2017 Ad Campaign or on the Runway? Well, the look is not as chic as the Monogram or Empreinte print, but maybe this design fits best with casual outfits.

The Louis Vuitton futuristic is sophisticated and built with tight lines and streamlined-shape. It’s made from embossed Epi leather, which is strong and luxurious leather. This futuristic print has been embellished on the iconic Speedy Bag, but also on the new-signature Twist Bag. There might be more styles available, but the basic principle of the print remains the same.

This futuristic print is built with multiple symbols on the bag. It reminds me of robots in Star wars and the buttons on spaceship. There is also an L and V logo printed in two separated colors. Some parts have remained the same like the original version like the handles on the speedy, the leather zip and the iconic lock. There is even a side-pocket in the exterior for instant-essentials.

The Sizes And Prices

The Louis Vuitton Futuristic print is embellished on different handbags like the Speedy Bag or on the Twist Bag. Each style has their own price tag.

Louis Vuitton Futuristic Speedy 25 Bag
Size: 5.9’ x 7.5’ x 9.8’ (L x H x W) inches
Prices: $2650 USD, $3250 CAD, €1900 euro, £1780 GBP, $22000 HKD, ¥313200 JPY, $3400 AUD.

PRADA BOX TOTE BAG

Other Brands

Whenever we see a new tote bag at Prada, we get excited. We think about all the previous tote bag that they have designed, because they were so pretty. For the Fall Winter 2017 Collection, there is another fresh and interesting handbag that you must see. It’s called the Prada Box Tote and it’s something you’ve never seen before.

The Design

Recently, Prada has been releasing a lot of ‘box’ and ‘trunk’ –inspired handbags. Just look at their Micro Box Bag. The new Prada Box Tote is chic and streamlined. It’s designed with smooth and curvy body. The look is a mix of a tote bag and a minaudiere as it features a rare turn-lock closure.

The sides remind me of the Frame Bag, which is solid. The top comes with two long double handles and there is logo engraved on the clasp. The sides also showcase the color of the interior and it’s refined with a golden plate.

The interior

The bag opens like a cosmetics box – when it’s open it will reveal all the interior. Inside you will find three pockets including one with a zipper closure. The center pocket is crafted with a spring hinge closure (like a clutch or minaudiere bag). It’s quite unique considering how its put together.

The Sizes And Prices

Measuring 20.5 x 14 x 13 cm, priced at $4450 USD, €3100 euro, £3050 GBP via Prada boutiques.

LOUIS VUITTON PONTHIEU BAG

Other Brands

A lovely bag named after a small but historic place in France. Ponthieu is located in Northern France and it’s where the kings of France and England have fought in the past. Ponthieu has now merged to become part of the Picardy Province. So carrying this beautiful lady’s bag is like holding a piece of France’s history.

Introducing the Louis Vuitton Ponthieu Bag for the Fall Winter 2017 Collection. Let’s talk about the design, shall we?

The Design

The Ponthieu Bag is a functional and comfortable handbag that can become anyone’s everyday bag. Made from supple Monogram Empreinte, which is a luxurious cowhide. If you look closer, the Monogram is implemented very lightly on the leather; it’s flaunting but not screaming.

The leather makes this bag soft and supple. It does hold shape, but the top drops a bit down and it creates a ‘V’ shape. Furthermore, note the hoop detailing on the handles and the signature zip pulls, they are essential parts of the whole design.

The long handles make it easy to drop your shoulder, but it also comes with a long shoulder strap that can be removed anytime you want. Now let’s cover the spacious interior.

The Interior

Open the bag with the double-zip closure system, the interior provides an ample space. This is also why we think the Ponthieu Bag can become your favorite daily companion. Inside you will find one large compartment to store all your necessities and more. It also comes with an internal flat pocket.

The Sizes And Prices

There are two sizes available; the MM and PM size.

Louis Vuitton Ponthieu PM Bag
Size: 13.7’ x 9.8’ 5.3’ (L x H x W) inches/35 x 28 x 13.5 (L x H x W) cm
Prices: $2550 USD, $3200 CAD, $20900 HKD, $3350 AUD, ¥298080 JPY, ¥19500 CNY

Louis Vuitton Ponthieu MM Bag
Size: 15.3’ x 11’ x 5.7’ (L x H x W) inches/39 x 28 x 14.5 (L x H x W) cm
Prices: $2820 USD, $3550 CAD

CHANEL SMOOTH CHEVRON CLUTCH WITH CHAIN

Other Brands

The Chanel Smooth Chevron Clutch with Chain is introduced for the Fall Winter 2017 Collection Act 2. The design of part quilting and part smooth leather reminds me of the Small Gabrielle Bag or the Gabrielle Clutch with Chain. You see, exterior of the Gabrielle Bag is also made in smooth leather, but only the bottom part. This new mini bag is crafted in smooth leather on the top part.

The Design

I love unique and seasonal bag that looks timeless, because not many people will be carrying it. The Smooth Chevron Clutch With Chain is one of such handbag.

Built in metallic for the shiny effect, the sheepskin leather is impeccable and durable. The bottom part of the bag is crafted in chevron quilting for the classic look and the top is made in smooth leather for the modern touch.

It comes with the signature woven chain strap and in the center it features the smooth CC logo. The metallic shade in combination with the silver hardware are the perfect pair as it creates a balanced flaunting effect.

The Clutch with Chain is not a new bag; we’ve seen the same bag in full diamond quilting or full chevron quilting style. There is even a Boy edition, however the mix of chevron quilting and smooth leather is new.

The Interior

This small-sized bag is ideal for the evening or at days when you don’t feel like dragging an oversized handbag. It opens with a top zipper and inside you can find the main compartment to store your mini essentials.

The Sizes And Prices

The style code is A70118 and it measures 3.9’ x 7,5’ x 1.6’ inches, priced at €1450 euro, $2360 SGD, 7290 MYR, $1475 USD, £1310 GBP, $12100 HKD via Chanel boutiques.

The Clutch With Chain And The WOC

We’ve seen a lot of Clutch with Chain these days and there are even signature designs like the Classic Quilted and the Boy edition. The function of the Clutch With Chain is very similar to the WOC, so we’ve created a special post to compare these two. Read more via here.
