A new line for 2008, the Monogram Rubis is every bit as fabulous as Dorothy's slippers. Trimmed with ultra-red vinyl, vachetta and calf leather with alligator print, the line can either be slung on the shoulder or hand-held. A little red tag completes the look that is so Vuitton. Kudos to Marc for this innovative design.

I have been so busy lately that I haven't been updating my Louis blog that I practically missed posting the newly released Cruise line. I wasn't so wild about it when I saw it in real life. I have been using my Speedy Mini lin this past whole week and I think this is a better material in terms of looks than the one pictured below. I guess I might change my mind when spring rolls in. It also comes in red.

Temperatures are slightly dropping here in the East coast and with all the Fall collections coming out from Vuitton, it's hard to even consider looking ahead to their nouveau lines. Here's just a sample from style.com's runway review. I am quite intrigued by this new tote avec red trimmings! Haven't decided if I LVoe it yet. You can also take a quick peak at www.louisvuitton.com under their fashion section. What I am looking forward to though, is the new Mini Lin line with stripes. I am in LVoe with this material and can't wait to see the new interpretation in real life. Just for good measure, I am on waitlist for that one as well. Expected release date of the tote above is November. Photo credit: Don Ashby
