In addition to Louis Vuitton’s runway collection, every summer a capsule collection is released as well. These collections typically offer a themed spin on Vuitton’s most popular styles. This has been an incredibly successful marketing tactic as Vuitton lovers see the items as collectors pieces, and it’s a great way for customers to re-buy new versions of the styles they love. While last spring we had the time trunk bags, this spring we have exaggerated monogram print bags. Today we’re taking a look at the just introduced Monogram Giant Collection.
This collection features handbags and other accessories, all bearing the huge monogram print in fun color combinations. The Speedy Bandouliere 30, which retails for $1,910 is my favorite of the bunch, while the Neverfull MM, retails for $1,750. Of course the collection features a version of Louis Vuitton’s newest it bag, the Bumbag, which costs $1,980. The entire collection is available to view via Louis Vuitton.
Sorry, but when it comes to logo-mania bigger is not better.
How much more can you shout about the logo on your bag so everyone knows it’s a LV?
I’m going to carry a big placard with Louis Vuitton and an arrow so I’m noticed even more. I find the big logos tacky and shake my head at this. LV have become really hit and miss with designs.
Why does Louis Vuitton keep making these hideous bags? It’s not like their traditional bags aren’t selling.
It’s perfect for the pathetic-logo-thirsty-wannabe-Instagram-celebrity.
I feel like I shrunk….! I think this has potential. I would have made the icons even bigger, on an angle, and make them a tint of the main bag color. Then it would look like a ghosted graphic.
I like the new colours of the canvas but not the oversized logo. Good for young instagram influencers tho…
I’m not ashamed to say I’m into it! Maybe it’s because I’m younger, or just have grown tired of the classic monogram, but I think it’s fun! Plus the color combos are spot on.
If I had the money, I’d definitely get the fanny pack (words I can’t believe I’m writing), and the Keepall.
I agree. The colors are great.
This is the first time in years that I’ve even given Louis Vuitton a second look. I really like these as they’re fun and different.
I like these too, they look fresh and different.
Agreed! We are in the minority, but I don’t mind. I like what I like even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone else.
Love #1! I always say, everything is for not everyone! :o)
I think some of these are cute with personality! The LV logo is on many of their bags so what’s the harm in enlarging it?
louis vuitton wins the gold medal in making their already bad bags even worse – i mean how is it possible? just look at the pos louis vuitton puts out collection after collection
I no longer take LV seriously anymore, at all. Their shoes are well made, and I do like their sunglasses. I think they make better SLG than Chanel. But the bags? (Gags?) However, I realize that they are/ can be playful. And IF you are in a mood to be playful and frolic about, not take yourself seriously, some of them do work. But I would be embarrassed to wear out an LV as a serious or staple fashion piece.
Oh my gosh these big logo letters reminds me the big C letters coach came out years ago. It makes the bags look cheap.
Exactly. I love my classic LV bags, this is just depressing to look at.
Hate it.
They look nice in person, saw them at the Soho store a few weeks ago. Great colors for summer! Also included in the collection but not pictured is a new small Beach Pouch. Cute if you’re into the see-through bag trend.
I think the color is cute/fun in doses. I like the Zoe or Zippy wallet… so cute, unexpected, and eye catching when taken out of your classic LV monogram purse. I wouldn’t do the bags/shoes a bit too trendy for my wearing taste.
while I am not a fan of huge logos I will have to say the OnTheGo tote is beige/white is pretty for the summer
The color combinations are awesome!
Just no.
To add to the design cacophony, the neverfull has a smaller print on flip side and the speedy is also multi-colored on its sides. Don’t know if they were going for versatile or schizophrenic. While happy to see a fresh update to canvas, not crazy about split-personality nature of the styles.
I love the colors and the big prints. But the giant logos turn me off. I think it would’ve been cool branding to just have the giant print with no logo. It’s like Burberry plaid. If you know, you know. That’s charming. To me adding the giant logo pushes it across the line to tacky.
I’m digging the white/blush/tangerine(?)large tote bag a lot. Perfect summer tote if you ask me.
I don’t like logos either but I do like the tote in the large LV’s. It’s fun and summery
I can’t even!!!! Ugghhhhhh……………………………
