The world has changed, but not for Louis Vuitton. In its 2009 spring and summer collection, we are bored again by so many familiar faces-same old design and of course same old monogram. Since 1896, Georges Vuitton, son of the company founder, created the iconic monogram with an exotic sense of traditional Japanese culture, it has been flooding on almost every LV products. Don’t give me wrong, I love this pattern but it has become eye-straining rather than eye-catching. However I was still shocked by Louis Vuitton Inclusion Bracelet series. Thanks God, they finally know how to rejuvenate the classic monogram.

Eight colors, four patterns with the one and only monogram, Louis Vuitton Inclusion Bracelet collection offer a series of choices for fans. Even better, this time LV is collaborated with legendary Swarovski so each bracelet is adorned with spotless crystal which added extra gleam and glamour. Personally I prefer the transparent version which shed more luster on the LV signatures. This large bracelet is made of resin encrusted with gold brass monogram which exudes the luxury and a strong favor of African culture. It is comfortable to wear with the size of 6, 5 cm, a perfect choice for those seeking for artistic exclusivity, and a soft ethereal long skirt is a match made in heaven with the bracelet for its lightness and vividness as rebirth of spring.

LV is changing, despite on its own slow pace. We shouldn’t expect for a completely makeover for this fashion house with long history in a short period. But a little bit unexpected surprise as Louis Vuitton Inclusion Bracelet is good enough.

I am never suspicious of the jeopardy our earth is facing but it is hard for me to cut down my shower time to save energy as those hard-core environmentalists. Anyway, my eyes always stick to fashion. Climate change? Ok, I will be absolutely into it only when it comes to something like the Solarjo Solar Handbag.

Actually it is not the first solar powered bags. We have spotted backpack and briefcase before. But I believe the reason this bag became one night sensation is the relatively fashionable and feminine design. As its predecessors, the Solarjo solar handbag charges as you walk in the sun and it can be plugged with cell phone, MP3 players or any other gadgets charging via USB port. I love this. At least I won’t have to take a bunch of chargers and wires in my already cramming handbags. However I still doubt about its charging efficiency. Who wants to be exposed in the sunshine for hours waiting for the crawling electricity gauge on cell phone?

In terms of function, Solarjo Solar Handbag still deserved to be expected. But I still hate the design. The bag was devised by Joe Hynek, a student in fashion and technology at Iowa State University. I am sure he must have stuck into the inevitable paradox between functionality and fashion. Some mindless supporters are boasting about its metallic style and believing it follows the high-fashion trend. I’m speechless for these comments. But wiping out the ecologically-friendly trait, the most possible ending for this bag is accompanying with dusts and cobwebs in the deep corner of show window.

Nowadays, everybody can’t wait to jump into the bandwagon of Green gadgets. The retail price of this bag is 300USD, not enough to show status of those celebrities. But we can imagine some of them will carry the bag in public. Whatever, It’s their job to catch up with anything looks popular. To be honest, I really hope major luxury brands will launch their green handbags collection in the near future. Who don’t want to witness the perfect combination of art and science?

Since its inception in 1925, Fendi has earned high prestige as its unwavering effort to infuse freshness and conciseness into design. Fendi DE JOUR TOTE is famous for solid color and fluent line as well as meticulous details. This Fendi 2009 new DE JOUR TOTE collection brings us with more surprise.

There are 3 variations in this series among which I prefer the white one. It is made of off-white patent leather which lends an air of dressed up chic and will look brilliant paired with safari looks and nude hues. That will be a match made in heaven with a Tory Burch cardigan, Diane von Furstenberg dress and Pedro Garcia boot sandals as it is displayed below:

With measurement at 15" in width, 10" in Height and 6" in Depth, this white Fendi 2009 new BAG DE JOUR TOTE offers enough space for daily use. There are a front zipper pocket with matching pull tag and a back wall zippered pocket. Another zipped pocket is also present on the inside for anything that is needed to be handy. The top closure is expandable and the Double handles has a drop around 8" which makes it easy either to be handled or hung around your elbow. The Cotton twill lining and gold toned hardware add additional delicacy and chic on the bag.

Although the $1,352 price tagged onto this Fendi 2009 New BAG DE JOUR TOTE is a bit extravagant but this investment will be totally deserved. Just imagine the uniqueness and glamour emanating from the gorgeous outfit paired with the distinguishing bag, you certainly will be the center of attention and that’s what luxury is all about.

I have used at least 10 agenda books to record and plan my busy schedule. But to be honest, I’m reluctant to carry it away with me because they are too fragile. Those agenda covers are too soon to wear out and the seams are so easy to loose up. I can’t even remember an agenda cover which can last for half a year. But these inconveniences have passed away after my friend sent me a Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Pomme Damour Mini Agenda Cover as birthday gift last month.

The small agenda cover is made of Monogram Vernis leather which is chic, shinning and the most important-durable. With a tiny size at 3.1" x 4.1" x 4.1", it can be suitably filled in the pocket, handbag even clutch. Although it is named as agenda but you can also place with diary, notebook or address book inside the beautiful piece. The soft calf leather lining offers additional protection on papers firmly clipped by a mini ring binder. The interior of the cover includes two card pockets and as well as a pocket for bills, business cards or additional credit cards. The agenda features with a stud closure and original dust cover. That is why it keeps shinning and smoothing.

I can’t be more satisfied with this cute little piece, although the 265USD price was still a shock to me when I heard it from my friend in the first place. But who can resist the femininity and vividness from this Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Pomme Damour Mini Agenda Cover

How to select a luxury bag for investment or just as your legacy in this economic downturn? Jump onto the bandwagon of industry titan? Definitely a great choice, but the huge price tag surely makes you flinch. Go for those fancy new brands? Not a bad option from the economic point of view, but their popularity is as flashy as their existence. However there are still several ideal pick such as Gucci Charlotte Small Shoulder Bag.

With its price at 850USD, Gucci Charlotte Small Shoulder Bag certainly a bargain compared to other luxury designer bag collection. And you won’t worry about the quality. This bag is a succession of Gucci classic series. The overall size is 14.6"L x 4"W x 10.2"H and equipped with a zip-top closure and there are an inside pouch and a cell phone pocket which make it practical and convenient. It is easy to be carried out with single adjustable should strap.

Trimmed with off-white leather and glaring gold hardware, the iconic beige GG fabric is eye-catching and stylish. It is undoubtedly a perfect accessory with casual dresses to be intoxicated by the elegancy and refinement exuding from this Gucci Charlotte Small Shoulder Bag

What is handbag really for? I won’t deny that plenty of luxury bag fans, especially newlyweds and young professionals are tirelessly pursuing personality and exclusivity. That is why quirky and flaunty bags are flooding on the market with fleet disappearance as their flashy popularity. Luckily Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas collection never belongs to this catalogue. This Louis Vuitton Monogram Odeon GM is no exception.

As a newcomer of famous Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas, Louis Vuitton Monogram Odeon GM intermits many classic elements from its predecessors. Actually, we shouldn’t expect huge makeover for an iconic collection but several tiny alterations still add additional sense of modern. The bag is shaped in a casual and feminine way with impressive size of 14.5 x 13.8 x 2.2 inches which is big enough for any daily use. It’s comfortable and convenient to carry out with two handle or shoulder with an adjustable strap. There are one flat pocket and one phone pocket inside the bag with a flat pocket on the outside-very practical and versatile. It is made of traditional and signature monogram canvas trimmed with natural cowhide. Although it is a casual bag but the overall design still exudes elegancy and luxury. The price is 1100 USD, not very friendly but a good investment.

Carrying with Louis Vuitton Monogram Odeon GM, you may not always be on the spotlight but never lack of appreciations from someone special hidden in the crowd. With it, you will enjoy tiny but continuous excitement for every moment. Maybe that’s so-called life.

Fashion goes with classic and retrospection but Gucci has been comfortable with its traditional design for several decades. Among its 2009 spring collection, several new bags are just other de ja vu. The Joy Medium Boston Bag series are not exception. I’m actually disappointed in the worship of canon exuded from all six bags of the series but this white one definitely makes all the difference.

Gucci’s Joy White Medium Boston Bag is made of guccissima leather trimmed with white feather and golden hardware. The off-white signature Gucci patterns present extra elegance and femininity in contrast of the trims. The bag features with double handles and zip-top closure which makes it very convenient and practical. The overall size is 12.6"L x 6.7"W x 8.7"H. and there is a inside pocket. You won’t worry about limitation of volume for every occasions of daily life.

Durability and practicality are always the pride of Gucci. That’s goes without saying. But I still expect Gucci may add more cutting-edge elements into its traditional design. Sometimes a little bit alteration changes the whole world, just as this Gucci’s Joy White Medium Boston Bag.

Spring is advancing, smells of freedom are bouncing on your garment, fluffing through your hair and of course held in your hands. But for fashion pioneers, such as Marc Jacobs whose eyes have already focused on the future, it is the very time to launch new collection for next season.

In opposite to the easy and free spring collection, Marc Jacobs 2009 Fall Bag Collection presents glare and vitality which is perfect to dispel the gloomy and depressing sentiment haunting us for years.

Long before Jacobs was appointed as Creative Director of Louis Vuitton in 1997, he has been managing to embed joy and sex appeal deep inside his designs rather than emit ostentatiously. The 2009 Fall Bag Collection is no exception to the idea. We may be easily impressed by the bold and innovated conceptions exuded from each piece-multiple layers, shiny hardware, fearless combination of colors and materials. But the whole collection still inherits the sedateness and elegancy. For those who want to be memorable but unwilling to be on the spotlight, this bag collection is a perfect choice.

This single chain strap bag is my favorite among Marc Jacobs 2009 Fall Bag Collection. With a size of 15” x 11” x 5.5”,it is chit yet practical. The deep blue color studded with tiny golden button is just like the sky of urban night. As they say, there always be a glimmer of hope held on our hands.

On March 15th, 2009, LV launched its latest handbag collection Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Boétie which targets relatively sophisticated and mature customers. There are three bags of different size in this collection-GM, PM and MM. The prices are 2580USD, 1860USD and 2180USD respectively, astonishing as usual.

All three bags are made of classic monogram canvas, trimmed with natural leather cowhide, durable yet elegant. This collection inherits the traditional design of double layer flap and golden brass twist lock which has most become a signature of LV monogram canvas series. There are several studs at the bottom to offer additional protection.

Among 3 bags of Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Boétie collection, I prefer the PM one. MM is cute but too small for daily use. GM boasts about the huge space but too large to handle. Only PM harmoniously combines attractive style with great functionality. The overall size is 14.3" x 9" x 6.3", big enough for most bag fans. The flat pocket and phone pocket is handy and convenient. It was designed as a handbag but you can still shoulder it for the spacious handle drop. It’s a perfect choice for business or casual occasions.

Anyway, different strokes for different folks. The other two bags also have their own unique advantages. Compared the other LV monogram canvas bags, this new collection enjoys highly cost effective. So go ahead and splurge. Everybody deserves a little bit timeless luxury in their life.

It is so decent and honorable when you are taking a brown Gucci wallet to go on errands, shop or have an appointment with your friends. Nothing is more perfect than a brown Gucci wallet to be taken as a gift for a woman you love, whether she is your mother or lover, your superior or colleagues. Imagine what a big smile mixed with surprise and excitement will be on her face, I believe, just what you are longing for.

It is crucial to distinguish an authentic Gucci wallet from knock-offs which are flooding on the market. When you are trying to get a Gucci wallet, below are several effective instructions for you to follow:

1. The hardware such as zip and fastener for the money pouch should be incised with a small Gucci logo.

2. There should be a serial number marked on the leather inside in order that the customers could tell the false apart.

3. Make sure that no missing or loose stitches are on the wallet and the color of the thread fits that of the wallet.

Only if the wallet conforms to the three requirements above, you needn’t worry about getting a false one. In addition, you should spend from $150.00 to $500.00 on an authentic Gucci wallet. Of course, if there is one that only costs you $50.00, you can find it fake with common sense without hesitation, right? Good luck finding the best one and enjoy your new purchase or gift!
