Louis Vuitton Mahina

Louis Vuitton Mahina
Louis Vuitton Mahina

Louis Vuitton has done it again. They have made a bag that is pricey and highly sought after. Last time I was in Louis Vuitton Bal Harbour I ran into a member of Purse Forum. She was desperately looking for the Mahina, but they were out, as have been many Louis Vuitton boutiques. We reported on the Louis Vuitton Mahina when it was first released (dubbed the Louis Vuitton XL and XXL) and since then there has been Mahina mayhem. But the bags, both in XL and XXL are available in eLuxury right now. The XL costs $3100 while the XXL costs $3900. Told you, expensive, yet understated with the monogram LV and the large slouch. Grab it while you can!

      why are the prices so high? Because Louis Vuitton is owned by a multinational corporation, which only wants your money :evil: . With the exception of Chanel and Hermes, all of the big name luxury brands are now owned by Multinational companies, and worse than that, all of these bags are made in China, with extremely minimal labor done in Italy, sometimes the only thing done in Italy is to place the Made in Italy label. How do I know this? Read
      Deluxe, how luxury lost its luster. The author was a fashion writer for years, and explains exactly where and why your Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Versace, etc were made. For myself, I try to stick to Channel now, thank God for Karl Lagerfeld

      Preach Nadia

      why I dont understand is every year LV bags are more and more expensive. Then you wonder why people (myself included) buy fakes. I am so sorry I can’t see myself buying a 3,000 bag just because. What gets me is when people on their high horse that wants to scream bloody murder because you are buying fakes. Like I say, they will be alright, because as long as LV and all the others continue to increase on there bags, it will always be someone in the wings that is willing to sell the knock-off

    Waay over my price range, but I wish it weren’t. I love it in the white, it shows the pattern much better. But I’d take either one if I had that kind of money.

    Mette, I think YOU are queer! :razz: Why do you find it necessary to make a negative comment on all of the bag listed? Why would you describe a bag as “pussy”? BTW: English isn’t my native language either but I don’t find it necessary to describe a bag as “queer” or “pussy.”

    Yeah – don’t get the “pussy” comment. Gross. Love the bag. Really, really pricey.

    I like this bag but the black seems really boring for the price and the white reminds me of a dingy hospital white. Personally, I think that it isnt unique enough for the price but the black could be a good basic.

    Amie: Maybe I just have not seen many nice bags on this site. I know there are lots of beautiful ones,but only few reach this blog-in my opinion. The word pussy is one of my own,just trying to be creative; merely trying to describe it. Use your imagination: a pussycat who has curled herself/himself for a lazy nap.

    Amie: One more thing. I have understood that we are here changing opinions on bags,fashion. I think it is far more insulting to comment on people. I might be queer in some ways,but I don´t think that it is your right to judge me based only by one comment of mine,where I wrote that a bag looks queer. I think you own me an apology,that is if you are mature enough for it.

    Hi everyone. I have finally decided to buy a Mahina, but am debating the colour. I absolutely adore the white, but worry about how dirty it is going to get. Does anyone have the white and how has it been for you? How often do you use it?

    Thanks!

    Hey there, have u bought the bag? I m getting one n m facing the same problem as u. I find that both colours are nice, in fact white may stand out more than the black? but the difficulty in maintaining the white is holding me back. Got a feeling i may go for black in the end. Coz i cant afford to get bags at tis sorta price range often and so it is a bag that i wld use for a some time…so guess black may be a wiser choice for me. Good ting is that either can be easily matched :P

    Simple and Sleek – Chanel Handbags Online

    You’re searching for a handbag. Not just any handbag, you’re searching for the handbag

    that will match everything you own. You want one that will not only be perfect to bring to

    work, but one that will work well on a date, or when you are out shopping. You want a

    handbag that will match your outfit and that will have plenty of room for all of your

    belongings, and you also want one that is inexpensive yet well-made.

    Chanel handbags online can offer you the best deals and the best bags available. One bag

    that may match your search is the Chanel Medium Lambskin Tote bag. This Chanel handbag

    online is made of a simple, supple, soft black lambskin leather. It is large enough to carry

    your things, even to be used as a high-quality diaper bag if you’d like, and is simple

    enough to match anything that you may own. The signature double c’s are attached to the

    zipper, and the bag has padded straps to allow you to carry it on your arm or hold it in

    your hand. This is definitely a bag that could work well in any situation.

    I was never a big fan of LV but personally I LOVE big bags. This one is absolutely amazing and subtle without it screaming hey I’m an LV bag. I cracked bought the XL in bronze which goes with almost everything in my closet. It’s super soft, eye catching, and not too overwhelming even if I’m 4′11″. My new all purpose ‘MOM/IT’ bag. YAY!!!

    Replicas are not the same as fakes, in that they aren’t illegal to sale or own. Replicas are just that, replicas. Fakes and couterfeits are items that are being passed off as being the real thing when they are not. So get over it.

    On eluxury.com, it shows Mahina L, Biscute colour. I am so in love with the bag but too pricey…. LV should not market their product merely for the super rich but for ppl like us too, who is willing to buy more bags with reasonable price… I hope they are reading all these post

    It’s a nice bag, but $3000? Anyone who buys this is a ridiculous person!
    You can buy five/six years worth of textbooks with that kind of money.
    Or pay half your tuition fees!
    And never have to worry about car insurance for your shitty used vehicle for a long time!
    Wow, wish I had $3000 I could throw away on a handbag.
    NAAAAAT.
    People are crazy. Before anybody buys this bag, I encourage them to think about people who could really use $3000. Like, really.
    Haha, go sponsor a local, starving college student instead!
    HA HA HA HA.
    The world is a sad place indeed.

    About a month ago I was grappling between the purchase of the Mahina XL bronze or Biscuit (I was inclined to go for the bronze) and the Gucci sukey large tote brown python. Please see the link for an image of the gucci
