Gosh, I haven't really been paying attention to my LV's so I do apologize for the lack of postings recently. I found this in my press kit and got really excited. Featured here is a runway piece from Men's Spring Summer 2012: the Sac à dos in Monogram Kibo écru. This one is definitely for the boys since it LVooks like hiking gear. Crafted out of canvas, I am super worried about all that vache leather underneath.

The Fetish Cap as designed by Marc Jacobs for this Fall Winter has been making its rounds on magazine covers worldwide. Inspired by the 1974 Italian Film, Il Portiere di notte (The Night Porter) that depicts a sadomasochistic relationship between a former Nazi SS officer and a concentration camp survivor, I think that women are drawn to it because of the not so subtle implication of naughtiness. To answer your question, Hydie, no I don't have one :0) but thanks for the article link! LVoe it!!!

I have a very weak spot for the limited and runway that I just had to feature this Mousseline and Mink Demi Lune from Fall Winter of 2005-2006. Crafted out of chiffon with the Monogram in beaded embroidery, this small evening bag (6¼" L x 5" T x 3½" D) is trimmed in luxurious mink and python. Even the satin dust bag spells luxe all the way. Sold by Max Pawn in Malleries, I am in no way shape or form connected with them. Just a true LVoer here!

Named after the King of the demi-gods of Hindu lore, Indra is Louis Vuitton's latest addition to it's masculine leather lines. Crafted out of calfskin and embossed to mimic elephant hide, this lush new "cuir" is tickling my fancy. Slated to be released this Fall 2011. LVoe, LVoe, LVoe it!!!

I know this is strictly a Men's Collection but the Damier Infini in Fusion (Red) is to die for and I'm sure there are some confident ladies out there who can pull it off. Featured here are the Porte-Documents Voyage (priced at $2420) and the James wallet (priced at $600). The embossed calf leather is the latest addition from the men's runway; I wonder if its successful enough to become a permanent collection.

SOOOO CUTE...The Fascination Lockit BB with Frame is simply adorable! Crafted out of shiny patent leather and embroidered a la matte bouclette just like its bigger cousins, little Noir number would be perfect as an occasional bag for that special evening. But if it were me, I would tote this baby to the gym to house my nano and membership card. HA! Priced at $2700 :0) LVoe it!!!

The Lockit Pulsion - what can I say? Crafted out of shearling from handle to base, this fuzzy bag can truly only work for the cold weather months. Unless you're the type that sleeps with your LV's, this is quite an expensive stuffed toy at $3450 a pop! The colour of the one photographed is the Gris but it also comes in Caramel and Marine.

The Monogram Fascination Lockit in perrier is by far my favourite of all the Runway bags this FW 2011-12. Crafted out of patent lambskin, the iconic Monogram pattern is enhanced through matte bouclette embroidery. I LVoe how Marc Jacobs has focused on the Lockit for the collection. Designed in 1958 it is one of the most enduring of LV bags. The colour is to die for! LVoe, LVoe, LVoe it!!!
