Marc Jacobs and Richard Prince joined forces to create the “it” bag of the season, the Weekender Pulp Monogram tote bag, part of Louis Vuitton’s spring and summer 2008 collection. During a photo shoot I had the breathtaking opportunity to handle this glorious creation for a mere hour or two, but it was just enough time to fall madly in love.
(Weekender PM, $3,250 at Louis Vuitton stores)
The lacquered look of the bag is amazing — it’s constructed of a denim jacquard print and trimmed in a soft cantaloupe-orange, calfskin leather (the French know their fabrics). The tote also comes in a canary yellow, but The Chic Spy thinks the orange is insanely gorgeous, of course.
Being so graced to be in the presence of this ultra chic carrier got me to dreaming about the sartorial adventures we could share on the West and East coasts like …
Catching a fashion show in San Francisco’s Union Square Park during Fashion on the Square, sporting these Born “Zambia” flats, $87 at bornshoes.com. They would be cute and comfortable as I perused the chic shops in downtown Frisco.
or …
Savoring soy treats at a chic café on Greenwich avenue in New York called Soy Luck Club (after the “Joy Luck Club”) that I’ve been dying to visit. I’ve read many great reviews about their soy-licious fare, like soy mochas and pressed bagels with banana, honey and soynut butter.
I want to try their “Spring” salad with basil, tomato, red onion and mozzarella, and a strawberry Soyafrost, about $15 for both … yum, yum.
I bet this lovely tote looks fabulous on the streets of Paris, too!
Chicly Yours,
The Chic Spy
Oh my. I think I’m in lust with the LV bag. More for the colour than anything else
Nice blog. I love the bags, especially the purses and the clutches!
