Louis Vuitton is well known for surprising its fans with seasonal collections. Vuitton’s assortment is huge in comparison to its competitors, which is not surprising considering Vuitton is known world-wide for its leather goods, secondary to its other offerings. Vuitton often releases capsule collections or exclusive collaborations that revamp the brand’s most iconic bags, often with a focus on Vuitton’s renowned monogram canvas styles.
For Spring 2019, Louis Vuitton has taken both its classic favorites as well as its current favorites and adorned them with new detailing. The collection is called the Love Lock Collection. As the name alludes, each bag is embellished with hearts, locks and keys. Vuitton’s classic monogram bags feature colorful and metallic motifs, while its leather bags are decorated with gold and silver-toned tiny locks and Monogram Flower hardware. As always, these bags differ in price than their, shall I say basic, counterparts. For example an epi leather Alma BB will cost you $1,620, while its updated Love Lock version will set you back $2,170.
The most notable bags from this collection are the New Wave Chain Bags, which were released last Spring, but continue to be a push for the brand. Seasonal collections are a great way to create repeat buyers for some of the brand’s best sellers. Check out bags from the collection below.
I picked up the love lock epi alma bb ???? I couldn’t help it, it’s so cute in person.
What the hell has been going on with LV? Who the f*** approves this crap? I’ve had enough of the childish crap they keep putting on these bags. First that cat bag and the bags with cats and mice in them, now this…
so over it.
Oh My God i typed the same exact sentiment you were thinking lol, every brand owned by LVMH is going downhill – they hire younger or off the beaten part creative directors that produce this pos!
if you pay lots of money – it can buy you lots of crap!
Someone at primary school got the job of the creative director at LV?
This collection has nothing to do with NG. This is churned out by the “regular” design team. One more unimaginative seasonal collection… At least with NG, it’s bold (even if it’s not always my taste)!
Exactly my thought
It’s just plain ugly.
Not my taste, but I could still see these being popular with the same target audience that likes the Tiffany charms line – similar vibe & nostalgia
Safe to say the verdict is unanimous on this collection of trash. So stupid, and might I say self indulgent. World’s most iconic and established brand that doesn’t have regard for their fan’s expectation of standard.
Who on this planet produced, presented and put their stamp of approval on this s$i#?!
gross.
Not lovin the lovelocks. Kinda gimmicky. Not my thing at all. Soon to be seen on a starlet near you.
No. Just no.
So kid/teen looking. I don’t get it.
Marketing to all those young spoiled teens! They love that kind of stuff! Honesly, that hot pink wave bag with the brand plastered on it, at a couple grand, is just the most garish of them all! If my daughter wanted one, no matter how much she begged, I’d refuse! It’s outright theft, is what it is – of weak-willed parents!
I remember when LV had Catherine Deneuve and Angelina Jolie as their brand ambassadors. The bags seemed like they were for a variety of ages. Now I feel like their brand ambassador should be Jo Jo Siwa. I can understand the bags looking cute to some people, but too young for me- they don’t suit my age group.
Lol I must be the only one that likes the little painted motifs on the monogram
Louis Vuitton has this unique ability to make their bags uglier and uglier, i have not really been a fan of much since MJ left years ago! Sure the celebrities and bloggers will carry this POS since they get it for free but who in the real world pays for this crap (jeff koons, grace coddington and im sure there are more disastrous ones I’m forgetting)
I often pick up the seasonal or limited collections. I even got a few of the Coddington cat pieces. Love the flame orange colors. I also so regret not grabbing the Sprouse roses Neverfull. I got the graffiti instead. I do think the locks and keys are cute, but not enough to push me to purchase.
I like these — they’re playful and fun, and I feel like I already have all the “serious” bags that I need. That being said, I’m not quite sure I could justify the price of these the same way I could justify a more neutral bag from Chloe or old Celine.
I do think the New Wave Heart Bag is cute if you were locking for a fun novelty bag. But I don’t have the luxury of spending $2,300 on a novelty bag. On the bright side, you might be able to find a pochette metis now (if your willing to buy one with the love lock design).
SO. BAD.
Highway robbery for novelty bags
If only I could get the Neo Noe Epi Black Leather with Gold Hardware without all the dumb lock decor all over it……..
