Let's Cruise on Over

With the temperatures rising in my part of the world and Spring is almost upon us, I decided to feature the Travel Shoppers that are being offered by Louis Vuitton for Cruise-Resort 2009. First off, let's take a look at the Traveller: As you all know, Jerome has this bag. Crafted out of coated canvas with a buttery soft leather trim, the graphic 1929 logo resurrected from the LV archives is proudly emblazoned in black on the bag's surface. I'm kinda worried about how they affixed the lettering on this piece. It's silk screened onto the canvas that could potentially peel off in time. It's very different from the Groom or Multicolore collection wherein the print seems sturdier (but even those we know from experince chafe off). We'll just have to wait and see. Check out detail shots of this bag from my previous post. Up next is the petite version that is called the Rider: Sporting über long shoulder straps, this pocketbook, if I may call it that, is perfect to stuff just the essentials. Unlike it's older brother, the Rider comes in the Cruise colors fuschia and orange. I have yet to see this in real life but take a look at the modelling pics in my previous post. $2420 for the Traveller and $1940 for the Rider. LVoe it!!!
