Louis Vuitton Handbag for Every Occasion
By Eddy Lam

Ask any fashionista about the most coveted handbags, and you are sure to find in her list. Who would not, when Louis Vuitton's handbags and purses are synonymous with style, fashion and quality? And thanks to celebrities like Gisele Bundchen, Angelina Jolie and Carmen Electra who are always photographed with their timeless LV accessories, the popularity of the bag is at its all time high.

Louis Vuitton purses and handbags are acclaimed for their ageless yet bold designs, as well as for the distinctive LV monogram, with the L and V interlocked. Since the first bag was born in 1854, the line has not looked back. Although already passed into the fifth generation, the brand has remained true to its craftsman, heritage and outstanding quality. Every bag is an art piece combining the most exquisite materials and superior craftsmanship with attention to the most minute details.

Having an extensive variety of designs and sizes is a winning formula for Louis Vuitton. From the white Murakami to the Monogram Denim collection or red Cherry design, from the small Pouchette to the larger white Keepall 45 that is perfect for a carry all or an overnight bag, you name it and there is one LV to fit the occasion.

Tell me about the classic monogram design and my wife's eyes sparkle! She got a smashingly stylish Manhattan GM for her birthday and she simply adores it! It is made of canvas withnatural cowhide trim, chunky gold metal hardware and buckled leather strap to complete the look. At 15 by 10 inches, it is perfect for all her office documents and diary. Her colleagues just could not take their eyes off this gorgeous carry-all! While she has declared the Manhattan GM to be her favourite



to date, she is not about to lay her hands off otherLouis Vuitton bags! She is now eyeing the candy-coloured Lodge GM for a change!

A bag to suit you is out there somewhere. You just have to look around in the right places to find it. Just make sure you do not pay good money for replicas or fakes though! My friend recently paid over $500 for a replica Monogram Alma and almost cried her heart out. The lesson learnt: before making the purchase online, check out the reputation of the seller and demand to see lots of photos of the bag. When you get the bag, tell tale signs are poor craftsmanship (uneven stitching) and asymmetrical monogram from side to side. Do not hesitate to demand for a refund if that is the case!
