I am glad to present fashion lovers the latest handbag collection by the master of leather accessories, handbags, shoes – Louis Vuitton. The name of the collection is quite unusual and beautiful the Monogram Idylle.

Monogram Idylle Collection by Louis Vuitton

Fashion critics consider the collection to be a copy of Mini Lin, but a completely reinvented one. In comparison with a Mine Lin line this one is far more durable, comfortable to wear and body friendly.
Louis Vuitton designers used a combination of linen and cotton with a symbolic monogram on a hard-wearing but light jacquard. Gorgeous contrast is created by a combination of calfskin leather and golden colored hardware. Every item presented by the French fashion house is awesome, luxurious and trendy. So let’s take a closer look at some of them.

Romance is a perfect bag for city lifestyle. It is elegant and practical at the same time. The bag is available in three color option: Encre, Sepia and Fusain.
The next creation is Elegy. The bag is excellent both for everyday use and for traveling. By the way, the collection includes a series of stylish luggage bags as well. You can see some of the below: Epopee, Speedy 30 Bandouliere and Speedy Voyage 45 Bandouliere are worth praising.

My attention was driven by an awesome tiny keys pouch. It is only 5.1 in wide and 3.1 in high. The key pouch is sold in three colors: Encre, Fusain and Sepia. That seems to be the best option for both a small walk in the park near the house and for a party.

And one more thing that completely charmed me is Sarah wallet. A blend of calfskin leather finish and metallic hardware makes me go crazy. Perfect size, perfect color, materials, design…everything.

Louis Vuitton designers again did their best to charm and conquer fashion audience.

The history of Celine has gone through lots of ups and downs. Lately everybody seemed to forget about the French brand, and passed some time the brand is on the pick of its popularity. The point is a new designer Phoebe Philo revived the French luxury brand and returned it past prestige.

Lately Celine presented a new collection for Spring – Summer 2010 that is called Luggage Handbag collection. You can see that Phoebe Philo has done her job perfect, and who knows, maybe she will be able to make Celine one of the most prestigious brands. Now I suggest that we take a close look at the collection.

Luggage Handbags are quiet and luxurious, spacious and stylish. All bags are very similar to each other. What differs is material and colors. The designer uses a wide range of fabrics – from reptile leather, baby Buffalo and Mongolian lamb to soft and traditional suede. I am also very pleased to see both vivid and quiet colors, which makes to possible to match the bag with your style. Most bags are classic combinations of two colors as black and white, for example, and tri-color versions as well. The Luggage handbag is available in diverse sizes: mini, medium and oversized.

Construction of the bag is a signature of the designer. At the front part there is a zipped pocket, a leather butterfly detail at the back, leather shoulder handles, an exquisite curved seam at both sides. The bags are supposed to be rather heavy but in comparison with Birkin or Chanel they are average.

And the last but not the least detail. The Luggage bags cost as much as $ 1,700. Some say it is pricy, others are ready to buy it right away. Anyway, Celine Luggage handbag collection S/S 2010 definitely stands out.

To Think Big - Kathleen Dustin’s Bags and Quotes

Handbags and purses have often fallen into the “been there, done that” mentality for true innovative fashion lovers. That is, until Kathleen Dustin’s artistic handbags came along which combine art and fashion to create unique, beautiful and fashionable accessories.

Now, I offer you to enjoy the views of this art and to read the authors mind.

“Unfortunately, sometimes we think that in order to make any money doing what we do, we have to do “affordable” work, or work that is popular. I’m not convinced that we have to think small in order to make a living and in fact, we may make a better living if we occasionally think “museum stuff” — meaning work we would like to have in a museum or a conoisseur’s collection someday.”

“Thinking big takes risk. What if we spend all this time on one piece and it looks lousy when we’re done? What if nobody likes it?”
Everything worthwhile in life requires risk.”

”Thinking big also takes perseverence.If you keep making things, just keep doing it, just keep working and the ideas will come, you’ll keep getting better and better!”

“Thinking big takes work. Well, unless you are willing to work at it you’ll just have to realize that your work will never be that good and you may not be as successful financially or artistically as you might like. That’s OK, you just have to understand that.”
