Update – Fall-Winter 2011 Mens Louis Vuitton
Having first spotted it online way back in January, I’ve been in love with this clutch ever since. From the Fall-Winter 2011 Mens Louis Vuitton collection comes the gorgeous Louis Vuitton Cuir Indra Portfolio, made of embossed calf leather that’s made to resemble ridged creases, just like the skin of an elephant. It also explains the name, Cuir Indra, the latter word in reference to the Indian demi-god who is frequently portrayed astride a majestic elephant.
Measuring almost A4 in size, it should come in other colours and/or materials even though this is the only one I can find in the press kit. Have a look at this post and you’ll know what I mean.
Another clutch that caught my eye is the smaller Historique, which comes with the same oversized front clasps as the Cuir Indra portfolio. An additional feature, the hanging handle loop which one would stick their hand through whilst holding onto the clutch for added security. Why do I like the one in Monogram Canvas then? It is old school, kinda retro and even a tad tacky. Yes, tacky. And I like.
If the one in Monogram Canvas is really not your thing, the Historique will also be available in Cuir Indra (shown above) and black patent alligator.
As far as the bags go, I’m not loving anything from the Damier Infini collection even though it was featured prominently on the runway. Embossed with Louis Vuitton’s signature check, the bags are touted to be soft yet durable.
Instead, I actually prefer the Louis Vuitton Taiga Neo Igor (shown above), a simply designed, practical briefcase made of hardwearing Taiga leather.
Completing the quick preview is a smattering of pieces from the F/W11 collection that I love, including the updated brogues with tapered heels, the pair of trunk cufflinks and of course, the Monogram Canvas Brazza which now comes with bright colours (like Bleu Clair, Vert Anglais and Rouge) in the interior and the option of customising it by using the Mon Monogram service.
No word on the prices yet, so do stay tuned for more updates.

Harrr! I can’t wait!
LOL! Which piece (or pieces) are you eyeing?
Waiting eagerly! For the Brazza wallet, though I already have one in Damier Ebene…
i want the shoes and the Historique Clutch in Indra or maybe the Monogram Canvas too.
Will you be able to get the wallet with initials on the same day you made the purchase? (FB)
If I am not wrong, the initials are painted on first before the wallet is made. In other words, I don’t think so. Not on the same day anyway.
I’m aiming for the Brazza with customisation too! Although i alr have a Brazza in Graphite!
I love the Taiga Neo Igor! Perfect for work. Any word on the measurements?
That is correct, the item is custom from France and the time quotes for bags was about 3 months. I hope the time on SLGs will be 1 or 2.
Do we order it online? (FB)
Love the Cuir Indra Portfolio… maybe would be getting it in brown! And that Taiga Neo Igor is LVoe!!!!
Really like the personalised wallet! (T)
I like that ‘Monogram Canvas’ Historique clutch. Any info on the price and release date?
I don’t have any other information as yet EK. Do stay tuned for more updates.
I really want that Mon Monogram Brazza… even though I already have the Damier Graphite Brazza! A man can’t have enough wallets! Any details on the prices yet?
The Cuir Indra Portfolio is mine!!! Can’t wait!!!
Well then get ready SGD4700 because that is how much the the Indra Portfolio will cost!
im eyeing on the Louis Vuitton Taiga Neo Igor. any estimate on the possible price?
My SA just informed me that the Indra Portfolio is £2,110 from London Bond St. Exclusive or what?
Exclusive? Probably. Pricey? Oh yes.
Do you know if the clutch will launch at MBS on 15 September or earlier at ION?
