Louis Vuitton Fall-Winter 2010 Collection

Aren't they pretty?

Here are Christy Turlington, Karen Elson and Natalia Vodianova doing what they do best -- encouraging me and millions of other women out there to buy that blush colored doctor-style purse (the Cuir CinĂ©ma in Rose, said to retail at at $4450).



Yet more bags I am in love with.



I haven't been too interested with LV's offerings for the past few seasons. But I am giddy this time around. Although to be honest, I am not liking some of them, mainly because of the combination of materials used. Overall, the silhouette is very vintage glam. I like.

Frankenstein Bags - Sassy or Scary?

When Louis Vuitton came up with the Tribute Patchwork bag in 2007, baghags around the world were aghast. I wasn't sure myself if it was a joke (because it looked like a knock-off, sorry MJ). With a price tag of $45,000 -- wow, it was a VERY expensive joke.

Here is our girl Beyonce, wearing the patchwork monstrosity. I guess this would work for people who can't make up their minds: "Oh I think I want a Suhali. Scratch that, maybe I should get a Riveting instead. But I really really want a mini-Speedy in croc leather though. Or maybe something in Minilin? Heck, I'll just get all of them!".


Marc Jacobs then created a watered down version for the Marc Jacobs brand in 2008. It's a bag-on-bag bag (huh). This, I can carry, because methinks the Marc Jacobs Duffy is cuteness! See you don't have to pull out your coin purse when you need to pay for something, because it's right there outside your bag. Perfect!



And now, in 2010, Moschino and Chanel gives us two new options.

This is from the Moschino Fall 2010 collection, which looks like the bastard child of two designer bags. Now we don't have to wonder what happens when a 2.55 and a Stam make sweet love to each other:



And Chanel offers us another Frankenstein-ish creation:


I kind of feel the same way about the Chanel as I feel about the LV Tribute Patchwork bag. Meeeh, maybe Beyonce wants to add this to her collection.
