Bagaholicboy Muses #150 – How Does This Make You Feel?
Every season Louis Vuitton will specially create a showpiece bag, one that’s over the top and exceedingly extravagant. One that’s meant to dazzle and amaze. And I’m guessing this is the offering from the Spring-Summer 2010 Womens Louis Vuitton collection, though information on it is scant.
If you look at it closely, you will see loads of details; telephone cables festooned with square wooden beads that ends in a leather tassel, ‘patchwork’ fabric pieced together that’s embroidered with the house monograms and a hood that’s crocodile or alligator that’s further embellished with python trims.
And despite all the bells and whistles the first thing I related to when I first saw this backpack was Predator (as in Alien vs Predator). To quote another blogger from the infamous BBBC, how does this make you feel?

Scared.
kinda like a monster frothing wires and fringe at the mouth.. but i’m strangely attracted to it. as with many other odd-looking things hehe.
but it’s a hazard to carry. i can only imagine the things that it will hook on to when you carry it shopping, or to the park, or even around the house
It does really like the Predator! The two straps at the front looks like its signature fangs and the crazy cables – the hair!
While the detail and craftsmanship is amazing, the whole piece just looks too busy. The canvas itself is already quite complex, so this is just adding on and on and on…. This is like a tribute to the Patchwork Tribute.
u echoed my sentiments. alien/predator-ish, district 9-ish. should come with some sort of fierce gun attached to it.
Perfect for any attention seeker like me.
That’s a monster!
absolutely shameless. i love it!
it is a piece of artwork!
Shocked. Alarmed. Dismayed. Dizzy. Nauseous.
I LVoe the patchwork =]
The idea of a croc backpack is actually good. Take away the patchwork, the telephone cords, the tassels and everything else below the ‘hood’ of the backpack and replace it with a croc body and you’ve got yourself a sale from me. As for the answer to the question, this makes me feel that marc has lost it once again.
Ugh, I agree completely. I thought this was a waste of python and alligator though if stripped bare, would have been a beauty.
this is a little more imaginative than just another crocodile skin backpack. those have been done before.
looks like something from Star Wars
A waste of good crocodile skin which could have been used to make a sleek Alma.
Crocodile Alma, does it even exist?
Yes of course it does…
ugly.
Could not agree more. I think LV just has gone too far. It doesn’t always take a big name to do anything and fans will scream with approval. This bag is ugly. You can only carry it once, second time will be too frequent!
LVoe it.
is this bag are meant for me?i mean for guy
It takes a lot of guts to pull off this bag. Wearing this speaks volume about the owner’s fearlessness and daring personality. For all you know you might be glamourously arrested on suspicion of a bomb threat. Lolx. Arresting sight indeed. Lady Gaga & Daphne Guinness you’ve got to see this!
I think it just speaks volumes about a lack of taste and class. Glamourous is the LAST word I would use on this bag or any one who owns it. Total FUG.
dun fancy it, it is another meshing up of all the winning DNA of Vuitton? oh no, not again!
anything that is to be marked over the top and extravagant, has got to be in the league of the 29k bijoux handbag, if not, it is jus pass wind =X
My first reaction was “What the hell is this crap?!”
Then I saw the telephone cables and got even more grossed out because I am sick of my office phone telephone cables which keep twisting and tangling around itself. Argh!
horrid. More like cross line, haywired, disconnected.
I had the same reaction as you..I thought Predator too, even before I read your entry!!
It’s an original looks high tech with all the phone cords and what not.. it’s a Hacker bag.. HA.. someone carrying it might think you are a hacker.. ha.. it’s different that’s for sure..
omg…….thats…………..the fugliest…bag i’ve seen……..
what a waste of good material…god bless those python n crocs souls….
Hideous. Ha! How does it make me feel? It makes me feel like attacking it with a broom and calling animal control. Has that Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome vibe to it. Not so fabulous.
It’s a visual mess of everything they can throw onto a bag. One word… YUCK! Sorry LV fans!
Totally ugly… like a bastard son of predator and those poisonous jelly-fish…
Such a waste of Crocodile skin, not even Daphne Guinness wants to be seen lugging this hot mess… But, this thing sure make a great Museum piece and an attention getter..
You’ve got a point. But you dare say Lady Gaga wouldn’t go GaGa over this bag? It is all about personality people and your attitude and whether are you carrying the bag or is your bag carrying you. One note to potential buyers though, make sure you walk slowly when carrying this bag. You don’t want those hanging stuff to be flailing all over the place. Not a glamourous sight I tell you.
I see Cthulhu… [http://blog.erdener.org/archives/images/20070328-cthulhu-sitting-down.jpg]
I’m not a fan of LV by any means, but the tasseled telephone cable idea is kinda innovative. 1 or 2 of them could make a cute adornment for some other bag.
I don’t know….. it kinda grows on you with second and third looks……
Eew. No.
This is just… ewwwwww…
the bag erupted…
reminds me of the movie Predator
Yikes! Looks like Davy Jones from Pirates of the Carribean 3!!
I really enjoy the quality information you offer to your visitors
I’m not sure about it. Probably a bit too much for me!
Just got an update on the price and name, it is going to be called the Louis Vuitton New Age Traveller, and it is priced at EUR35,000…
