Louis Vuitton Portefeuilles en Cuir Exotique

Posting about exotic skins yesterday made desirous to feature other pieces Louis Vuitton has in their drawers. The Suhali wallets Le Somptueux (above) and Le Prodigieux (below) acquire more luxurious LVooks in crocodile skins. These are not main stream wallets since they cost an arm and a leg so you might want to call your local boutique before you rush out to get them. I'm pretty sure they are only allocated to the big stores but any boutique can order them for you. I once inquired about the Brazza in crocodile and lemme tell ya, that's one pricey wallet!

Louis Vuitton Python Portfolio

Pre-Fall is a time to LVook at releases that were not made for the runway but will whet our appetite for things to come. In my humble opinion this Python Portfolio accomplished that beautifully! The utilitarian piece takes us up a notch in luxury due to its matte reptilian skin. The now characteristic zipper pull, which if I'm not mistaken was released in the Fall Winter of 2008-2009, adds the LV touch. I bet you will have to pay an arm and a leg to get this despite the python having none. LVoe it!!! Photo: Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton Aviator

One thing that our darling SA showed us last night was the Aviator from the Pre-Fall 2010 Collection. The über expensive tote is lined in quilted, orange nylon, playing on the aeronautic theme. The exterior jacquard fabric is ehhh...and the calfskin bottom is not luxurious enough in my opinion to merit the $3270 price tag. The shape is fantastic with the changing LVooks between open and closed. I prefer it closed though as worn here by Gwen Stefani and Rachel Bilson.

What did I miss?!

Gosh, LV has tons of stuff that have either been released or awaiting to reach the market while I was away. I saw a few pieces in Canton Road and even took some spy pics. Unfortunately, my iPhone was stolen...grrrrrrrr...but that's another drama. Thankfully, Bengt has kept us well informed. All photos from ILVOELV. Monogram Delightful GM ~ Nothing has really caught my fancy for the past couple of seasons. I thought I was losing the LVoe until I saw this Monogram piece sitting prettily on the shelf. The Delightful is the latest to join the core collection. Released in the standard trinity size, PM, MM and GM. It's a hybrid of the Galliera and Neverfull. I LVoe, LVoe, LVoe the zipper detail on the GM. This bag has re-introduced me again to the Monogram Collection. I have been focusing way too much on seasonal items. (PM $760, MM $855, GM $1100) Pochette Sobe New LV ~ I am sooooooo into clutches right now and usually prefer a small piece for going out. This fits the bill perfectly. With its simple yet elegant design, the tortoiseshell-esque finish just ads the needed glamour. $965 Monogram Antheia ~ crafted out of embroidered lambskin, the pattern reminds me of old world Celtic quilts. Named after the Greek goddess of flowers, the hobo comes in two sizes PM $2720 and GM $2970 Monogram Aviator ~ jacquard and lamé makes up most of the body of this bag with a bright orange lining drawing inspiration from bomber jackets. The pre-fall piece has a hefty price tag of $3270 though.

Sienna Miller with the Louis Vuitton Antheia

Spring is just beginning but Sienna Miller was already spotted with the Pre-Fall Antheia Bag. Crafted out of butter-soft lambskin, the monogram flowers are painstakingly embroidered creating a highly textured effect. LVoe, LVoe, LVoe it!!!
