A mish-mesh of the 50s, 60s and 70s best describes the Cruise 2011 Womens Louis Vuitton collection, in a style that’s nostalgic and yet modern at the same time. Drawing influences from Miami’s Art Deco vibe, Marc Jacobs’ magical touch seems to be working again. Either that, or I’m just happy to be seeing so many florals and bright pastel colours.
Without fail, every collection comes with a range of new bags, and in the case of the Cruise 2011 line-up, meet the Louis Vuitton Monogram Sabina collection. Made from weaved raffia jacquard, it comes in 3 different styles, including the tote (two sizes, GM and PM), a shoulder bag and a smaller accessories pochette.
And since I love all things canvas and jute, these are certainly interesting though honestly it may not be to everyone’s taste. Still, these will sell, especially to hardcore fans who just need to possess every single bag in Louis Vuitton’s repertoire.
Another new bag (or in this case, new colour) I’m excited about is this deep purplish-blue that will be part of Monogram Vernis‘ collection for the new year. I’m not sure of the colour’s official name as yet, but isn’t the shade just stunning on the Alma? Two other new colours are also expected to be released, including a creamy pearlescent white and a dark mocha brown.
And to round up the collection, some of my favourite pieces, including the floral heels, sunglasses with pearl chain (granny chic?), bandeaus in the prettiest shades and jewellery that resemble striped rock candy. Delish. More updates to come…

love the kitten heels! love the new vernis colour! love the pink dress! love the pink sabina! basically, love most of what you had featured!
I have been eying the sabina bags since I have seen in the photos a couple of months back. Any idea which month the cruise collection would be launched?
Anytime now… keep a keen eye out whenever you pass any LV, or better yet, go in and ask them to put you on the wait list.
Those kitten heels are TDF!
The raffia purses on the other hand… Would they retain their shape or would they be soft like the Monogram Idylle collection? I would prefer my purses in that style to stay boxy!
A lot of chic stuff. Cant wait!!!
Lovely! Now I’m even more excited for the new year – looking forward to the new Vernis colors since I missed out on rose florentin this year!
The nick nacks are so pretty! Esp love the jewellery and bandeaus!!! Any prices?
The Sabina looks good to me, especially on the modeling pic but of course, it was perfectly styled there!
And I absolutely adore those bandeaus! Hope to know when they’d be out in stores so I can rush there and grab both of them!
Loving the Vernis colour!
The Sabina reminds me of a style I’ve seen at Coach.
That deep purple bag… isn’t that the Alma???
Yes it is. I was referring the name of the new colour, not the model of the bag.
How have you been? Bought any new LV bags lately?
