Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2016 Monogram Canvas Collection

Ok, first the disclaimer. This blog post’s title isn’t going to be completely accurate since Louis Vuitton didn’t technically release a new collection of Monogram Canvas bags or SLGs. Instead it’s a selection of Pre-Fall 2016 bags that feature in some part LV’s iconic monogram pattern which I wholeheartedly, unabashedly, love.

First up, the City Steamer which is basically to Louis Vuitton what the Diorever is to Dior, their respective takes on the structured tote topped with a pair of short top handles. Simply known as the one with the ‘Jacket Painting In Black And White’, this ‘mixed material’ City Steamer is part-Monogram Canvas and part-studs with banded stripes in Black and White. Priced at SGD5800, I do have a feeling this would appeal to the boys who really love their Louis Vuitton more than the womenfolk whom it was originally intended for.

Next up, the Twist, which is THE one Louis Vuitton is pushing to be their IT bag. With a cleverly designed clasp that resembles its own logo when it’s in the ‘locked’ position, you twist it counter-clockwise till the LV becomes VV and voila, the bag opens (no prizes on how the Twist got its name).

These 2 are also my personal favourites, the one on the left given the same treatment as the City Steamer you saw earlier (SGD5500), while the one on the right (the Twist MM Coin Studs as it is called) comes with a beautifully banded LV clasp in Black/Blue/Orange (SGD6250). Both are in MM size, which makes them 23 cm by 18 cm by 8 cm, for those who need to know how big they are.

Finally, the one bag from Louis Vuitton that still makes my heart skip a beat whenever I lay eyes on it. Here is this season’s Petite Malle with ‘Jacket Painting’, a racy, sporty number with the painted stripes and a matching enamelled clasp that has the same corresponding colours. Retailing for SGD7900, this one is also the one to get IMHO. Still very Louis Vuitton, still with the Monogram Canvas detailing but given an update with the stripes that won’t go out of style any time soon.
