We already know what Louis Vuitton’s quest for fancier customers means on the high end of the brand’s price spectrum, but changes in LV’s mid-range bags, like those made of Epi or Vernis leather, have been a little slower to materialize. As a business strategy, that’s somewhat predictable – give people something super-expensive over which to work themselves into a lather, and then roll out incrementally more accessible options that embody the same style to capture greater market share. Thus, we bring you news of the brand new Louis Vuitton Marly Bag.
The Marly, which comes in both MM (16.1″ x 14.2″ x 6.7″) and smaller BB (13.4″ x 10.6″ x 5.1″) sizes, has a grained Epi leather body with smooth leather handles and accents. Both versions come with a shoulder strap, although the BB’s is longer, allowing it to be carried across the body. The only external branding is an embossed LV monogram at the bottom right corner.
The most notable feature of this design is its subtlety; the bag lacks extraneous trim, embellishment or hardware, which creates a final look that’s both luxurious and discreet. In the past, it would have been hard to imagine carrying almost any Louis Vuitton bag into a conservative office, but this one would fit in beautifully without being boring. At $2,350 for the BB and $2,810 for the MM, it’s exactly the kind of mid-line bag Vuitton needs to produce in order to attract the sophisticated consumers the brand is after.
Check out the available colors below. This is easily my favorite new Vuitton bag in recent memory; are you as into it as I am?

Wow, this is really nice! Though how much would that narrow strap would cut on the shoulder, though. Hmmm…
For the size of the bag, you wouldn’t want to overstuff it anyway. So unless you’re putting a brick in there… the strap is perfect and understated.
You really think so? Let’s agree to disagree then.

Wow, I thought the soft lock-it was pretty great. I think I may like this bag more. The design is both sophisticated and durable (that leather is pretty tough),..I love that the smaller size would hold lots as the design becomes wider at the bottom. Is it a zipper or a magnet that holds it at the top?
look it.

It is a magnetic closure, but very secure! The best part is the hidden latches for the strap which is embedded behind the handles.
ok, I found the same leather handbag on other website with good quality.
I like the leather and design. the website is http://www.lemonfans.com

original leather with this leather, perfect!
I’m pretty sure it was a magnetic closure
Agreeing with Amanda. This is first LV bag in a looooong time that I would consider buying. Beautiful colors too.
OMG! drooling!!
I saw this bag a couple of days ago in the store, and I thought it was really old looking. Far prefer the soft lockit to this one.
I am really on the fence with this bag. At first the shape seemed a little off to me, but the more I look at it, the more i like it. I am still saving up for the lock-it bag.
Saw this bag in person the other day. I don’t know, I am not liking that shape, it seems odd to me. Though some of the colors are pretty.
Saw this bag in person over the weekend. It’s just okay. Onne issue is with the longer strap. It doesn’t look as though it’s substantial enough to hold the bag nicely once it’s filled. I have never liked bags where the handles don’t fold.
Like others have said, the shape is odd and a little old lady.
Exactly what I was thinking. That longer strap would pose a problem in the real world for working women. It could have used a better strap design and still remain understated, it is epi after all.

Doesn’t send me—unless one is tall, this shape can tend to make you look fat-too wide for my taste-a north/south shape tends to look more trimming
I saw it in the LV Chicago store – very nice. It suited my lifestyle and will be my next handbag. Now, what color?
So good bags in http://www.favoricanta.com
Wow,I like this color and now i am using this type of handbag.Thank you for sharing.

I purchased the MM in black at the LV store on Rodeo Drive in October. I love the bag, and have cared for it per LV instructions. I’ve recently noticed that the threading on the outside seams has become loose, and is protruding in some places. I contacted LV Customer Service. They were not helpful at all. They suggested that I drive to one of their “flagship” stores, which happens to be 7 hours away, to have the bag evaluated. I love the bag, customer service has been below expectations. I am regretting my decision to purchase this bag.
I loved the second kast, it can be a oerfect gift for mom in this price range. It very difficult to choose one from all design and colour.
