Louis Vuitton Handbags and Purses (Page 7)

As most of you already know, Spain won the World Cup title in overtime against Netherlands yesterday in front of a crowd of 88,000 in Johannesburg, South Africa. It marks the country’s first World Cup final win in the history of the tournament, and surely the players couldn’t be more proud to take the trophy back to Spain.

They won’t be taking just the trophy, however. This year, Louis Vuitton designed a special carrying case (complete with a spot for white gloves, natch) to display the trophy and move it around South Africa. Right, because Louis Vuitton monogram is so discreet. One day, I’d like to win something so cool that it requires its own custom Vuitton case.

Apparently heiress and celebutante Paris Hilton, like, just now heard about this whole World Cup thingy that’s going on over in Africa or wherever. Paris doesn’t appear to understand exactly what the World Cup entails, since she thinks it requires her to bring every piece of Louis Vuitton luggage on the planet (presumably to hold all of her rhinestone-encrusted vuvuzelas), but she’s going anyway. Has anyone told her that the US was already eliminated?

I know that Paris doesn’t seem all that quick on the uptake, so it doesn’t particularly surprise me that it took her over two weeks to figure out that, hey, there’s a world event going on! A lot of cameras are there! It’s sort of like Cannes, but with balls! [Insert Paris Hilton/balls joke here.]

Ok, maybe I’m just jealous. Of her trip to the World Cup AND her Louis Vuitton luggage. And also, her proximity to hot soccer players. Yes, that’s what stings the most.

UPDATE: We now know why Paris needed so much luggage – to hold all of her weed.

I love a good Cruise bag. As much as they are perfectly suited for a cruise itself or if you were vacationing on a yacht in St. Tropez (I wish!!), there is always more use you can get from these bags. Sprucing up your bag choices as the seasons change is a great way to freshen up your look. Many cruise bags offer accents that coincide with a nautical theme. What better way to pick a Cruise Bag then turning to Louis Vuitton?

I can’t think of many brands with more disparate accessory aesthetics than Louis Vuitton and Lanvin, but that doesn’t mean that the two luxury giants won’t intersect from time to time. While flipping through looks from the recent Resort 2011 presentations in Paris, I was surprised to see that the two brands seem to be on the same page in at least one noticeable way. Larger pictures after the jump.

I got an email last week of a PurseBlog reader looking for a sneak peek at an upcoming Louis Vuitton bag. Lea asked and we can deliver! Welcome the Louis Vuitton Damier Rivington which is said to be available starting August 1st.

You know why I love this bag? There is a large shoulder drop and a seemingly good sized body with the sturdy Louis Vuitton Damier Canvas. The Damier canvas is a favorite of mine. It works well with many outfits, seasons, and years. Keep your eyes out for more from Louis Vuitton items hitting stores this summer! Approximate price will be $1030. Shop via Louis Vuitton online.

I’ve been asked many times to name the most iconic bags of all time. The Louis Vuitton Speedy is always part of my list. Not only is Louis Vuitton one of the most well-known design houses, but also the Speedy is one of the most iconic handbags. Precisely for this reason the Louis Vuitton Speedy will forever be classified as an iconic handbag.

We’ve already covered why you need to own a Balenciaga motorcycle bag and a Chanel flap bag, but those obviously aren’t the only iconic bags that a woman needs in her wardrobe. Your bag collection shouldn’t be missing a Louis Vuitton Speedy, but if it is, we’ve got a few things you might want to consider.
