Let's Hear It For The Boyz

Gosh, I have been featuring so much Men's stuff from Deluxe Duck (aka LV Guru) that I was inspired to do a feature on the Men who read the LVoe Blog. First off, we have Giona from the Netherlands. Always in style with his latest Louis acquisition, this boy is insatiable with all things Vuitton. To read more about Giona, click here. Up next is, is Hezly from Malaysia. He touched us with his story about his Mom receiving a Kalahari and we congratulated him for his first LV. This week, he's out shopping again for his Mom but this time for a Black Multicolore Judy. Thanks for sending the photo in, H. To read more about Hezly, click here. Now, this LVoe mail, I really enjoyed. It's from Leonard from Perth, Australia. I have never seen these before but apparently, they are packets given out by Louis Vuitton for Chinese New Year. Supposed to contain money, the envelope itself would be more than enough for me. I have the red one as my computer wall paper. Thanks for sending them in, Leonard. Last but not the least, is Alvin that Hails from Singapore. Fellow blogger and Louis Vuitton Lover, he recently acquired an amazing piece to complete his Stephen Sprouse Collection ---the Keepall in Silver Graffiti. I owe much to this boy for press photos and info so I'm happy to see when a new LV acquisition is featured in Bagaholicboy.com. To read more from Alvin, click here. Thanks, guys for all your support and sending in your photos. LVoe it!!!

Louis Vuitton Kalahari

Kalahari GM in Masala Kalahari PM in Safran (above) and Paprika (below) Ahhh...finally, the Kalahari. The website toots it as the "emblamatic shape of the ethnic inpiration show". This runway bag is crafted from embossed leather, Ayers and metallic leather trim. Both have an oversized flap that could be adjusted with the bead laden drawstring. The interior shown here is of the PM and it doesn't seem too bad to get in and out of as compared to the GM. Sizes are 9.8" x 9" x 3.9" for the PM while 13" x 11.8" x 3.5" GM. GM only comes in Masala while the PM comes in Safran (Yellow) and Paprika (Red). Take note that the color names comes from famous spices the world over.

LVook-See Review of the Kalahari GM

I went to the boutique today, with my usual accomplice, Jerome, and we were presented with 2009 Spring Summer's showpiece, the Kalahari GM. As soon as our SA pulled it out of the dustbag, both of our jaws dropped! The look is stunning but after our initial reactions subsided, Jerome found it uncomfortable to sling over the shoulder. For me, it was quite cumbersome to get in and out of especially with the beads in the front. The metallic leather is soft and luxurious and covers the entire inner flap which was nice but brown microfibre was used for the lining which darkened the interior and could prove to be a challenge when looking for stuff. The bag is definitely a head turner but it lacks functionality if you want an everyday bag. Hope this helps for anyone considering a $3K bag purchase.
