2 New Vuitton Goodies for Fall/Winter!

Which Fall/Winter Season is ever complete without a dose of Shearling somewhere in the collections? Well, this Fall/Winter '07, this Shearling Monogrammed Tote forms a part of Louis Vuitton's Fall/Winter Collection. In addition, Vuitton's famous Monogram Canvas Logo Print now comes in Patent this season.

Fellow BagAddicts, sorry for the small photo above. Couldn't find a bigger pic of the bag. I don't know what you guys think of the bag but, Me no Likey! Bagaholic Babe thinks that the Tote would've looked better if the Shearling trimmings were just confined to the top instead of going all round the bag.

Next up, a new addition to the Damier Collection - the 'Trevi
Bagaholic Babe has always preferred the Damier to the Monogram Canvas Print, simply because I think the dark brown handles gives the bags a classier-looking vibe. Plus, unlike the Monogram Canvas range, the handles don't turn darker orange-y shades with age and use. Anyway, back to the 'Trevi', the latest addition to the Damier Collection.



The 'Trevi' comes in 2 sizes, Small (PM) and Large (GM) - both are complete with a removable shoulder strap, as shown above. I don't know about ya'll my fellow BagAddicts, but the moment I saw this bag, it occurred to me that it resembles the 'It' Bag', the Marc Jacobs 'Stam' Bag. I guess this resemblance lies in the shape and overall structure of the bag. Afterall, since Marc Jacobs is also the Head Designer/Creative Director for the House of Vuitton, it's no surprise that both the two bags look somewhat alike.

Presenting: Fendi's Fall/Winter Trunk Show 2007


Here are some of the bags from Fendi's Fall/Winter 2007 Trunk Show. I've only chosen a few bags from the F/W '07 Collection to write about, mainly the new shapes and designs that are new to the House of Fendi. Of course, there are the regular Classic Fendi Bags, such as the Chef bag in Patent Leather, etc, but I've left these out because they are not new shapes. The bags pictured here are slightly more innovative - channelling the edgy, Deconstructed vibe. Most of the bags can be converted into clutches for the evening, however, Imho, the bags from this collection aren't necessarily fantastic looking.

First up, the the Raddica Boston Bag


Following in the footsteps of Louis Vuitton, this F/W '07 Season sees Fendi experimenting with the Patchwork style. Utilising its signature printed Zucca jacquard canvas and a super-sized logo jacquard canvas with brown vinyl trimmings, there's only one word to describe its look: Deconstructed. Pre-Order this bag for $1595 via Neiman Marcus.


Next, we have the Convertible Zucca Bag



Similar to the Raddica Boston Bag above, this Convertible Zucca Bag is also in the patchwork style, using a combination of the Zucca Jacquard, the super-size logo Jacquard Canvas and Brown Vinyl trimmings. The bag converts into a flap clutch (shown below)



Like this bag? Pre-Order it for $1,600 via Neiman Marcus.




Remember the Woven Crossword Tote from Fendi's Spring/Summer 2007 Collection? Well for this Fall/Winter season, the Woven Tote now comes in Super-sized Zucca Jacquard. Well, I've never really been a fan of this Woven-styled tote (ok, in fact, not at all), but compared to those from this year's Spring/Summer Collection, if I absolutely had to pick which one I like best, then I guess it'll have to be this one. Get this for $1,470 via Neiman Marcus.





This 'To You' purse is Similar in style to the Convertible Zucca Bag above, minus the deconstructed patchwork. This 'To You' purse is a combination of taupe suede and leather, with tortoiseshell trimmings. Below is how the bag looks when it's folded over into a clutch.



Pre-Order this 'To You' purse from Neiman Marcus for $1,595






Also from the 'To You' Collection, this Convertible bag is available in Ivory (shown) Multicolour (shown) and Black. I'd say the Multicolour 'To You' Purse is the probably the only bag I like from Fendi's F/W '07, and coming from a Fendiholic herself.. I've been raving about this Multicolour 'To You' Bag since I saw it at Fendi's lacklustre F/W '07 Showing at Fashion Week. It's finally available!! Whoopee! Get this for $1300 via Neiman Marcus.




Last but not least, the Shearling Shopping Chef Bag. For, what F/W collection would ever be complete without something in Shearling? Besides fur, Shearling is the other must-have in every F/W Collection. This F/W, Fendi's Classic 'Chef' Bag is made of Ivory knit and given a Shearling coat, trimmed with dark brown leather and brown beading details. Like all Fendi Chef Bags, this Shearling Chef has Fendi's cutout logo charm. This is called a 'Shopping Chef' Bag because unlike Fendi's signature Chef bags with flap top closures, this particular one is open-topped. Pre-Order this seasonal bag for a hefty $5,040 from Neiman Marcus. In stores in late October.

Right on point and true to its luxe style, Creative/Artistic Director Jean Paul Gaultier, at the House of Hermes has expanded the 'Kelly' (named after Grace Kelly) line of bags. Utilising materials such as soft suede and Exotics with shearling trimmings, the 'Kelly' now comes in a Foldable version (that can be doubled as Hand muffs or hand warmers as shown), the mini Croc version (last pic) and the oversized version (seen on Gaultier's arms after the show).

Presenting: Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter Collection 2007

Presenting Louis Vuitton's Fall/Winter Collection 2007. According to Marc Jacobs the tag for this season's collection is "The Girl With the Monogram Bag" So, needless to say, this entire collection showcases LV's monogram in all its glory, be it Monogram with Shearling, Embossed Monogram, etc. And I'd like to comment that this Fall/Winter 2007 Collection is milestones better than the Spring/Summer Collection this year. But, I was still expecting more from Marc.





















Life is a box of chocolates... Hmm I don't know about you my fellow BagAddicts, but this last bag reminds me of a bar of chocolate after the paper wrapper is removed and you have the foil wrapper either in gold or silver, where you can see the imprint of the chocolate squares beneath it.


The Verdict: A much improved collection compared to that of this year's Spring/Summer Collection though it can be improved much more.
