It’s hard to be unimpressed with anything that happens at golden hour in Palm Springs, which is exactly when the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2016 show took place last week. Vuitton’s Nicolas Ghesquiere brought the spectacle to the West Coast, mining the region’s color scheme and desert palms for a collection full of lovely accessories for cool girls and sophisticated women alike. After all, you can’t fly Catherine Deneuve out for the occasion without offering something for the grown ups.

Ghesquiere’s reimagining of Vuitton walks the line between trendy and sophisticated particularly well; Cruise 2016 includes both lightweight monogram backpacks and a brand new leather tote that will undoubtedly be compared to the Birkin, but which feels more modern and less fussy. In fact, the fussiness of fashion was almost entirely absent, and in its place were bags that I could imagine a whole range of women carrying with joy.

Below, check out all the handbags from the collection.

i love these new bags their simple chic elegant the colors go well, its not a birkin, there is no straps or flap, this is a tradition box tote bag with a 2 slot divider with zipper and i love the box trunks so fun, the other bags i don’t care for i do like the back pack and clutches

Birkin? This is all I see when I look at these new Vuitton bags…proving yet again, ghesquire is nothing more then a over-rated and unoriginal thief

It’s funny because all Michael Kors does is copy too!

Those handbags with the locks on them look like cheap knock-offs that street vendors sell. I can’t believe that I’m saying this, but I like the monogram backpacks and the twist clutches. Those clutches are actually on my LV wishlist.

I like the look of 1 and 32. Too bad it’s a style that’s been done by other designers already. The embossed petit Malle in 3 looks nice.

Yeah, most of them look like “Whee, look at me!” bags, and not in a good way.

The backpacks and one of the trunks looks good the rest look like Chanel / Hermes knockoffs. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I miss Marc Jacobs.
