Louis Vuitton Berlingot



While I do not talk about Louis Vuitton all that often, the past day or so I have been on LV overload. The main reason is because I have my mind set on a Wapity and I finally ordered it! I have been realizing that I need the perfect small accessory to take with me when I go out at night to a bar or dancing, and why not let it be Louis Vuitton. But on my fix of LV I ran into the Louis Vuitton Berlingot. Someone please help me ID the kind of icey that it resembles. Remember when the ice cream truck used to come through your neighborhood (I know those were the olden days) and there was a Popsicle like icey that came in a case just like this. I always got it and you had to cut the top off. Ok that rant had nothing to do with this accessory. So back to the accessory. The piece is actually named after a candy from Carpentras and is made with the Monogram Multicolore canvas with natural cowhide trim. Take a guess at who designed this little number? None other than Takashi Murakami who is known to make some funky creations for Louis Vuitton masterminded this piece. Other features include shiny golden brass hardware, microfiber lining, and the key holder tucks away into a zipped compartment. Overall this fun shape measures 3.3″ L 4.7″ H x 3.3″ W. Just because it reminds me of running to catch the ice cream truck way back when, I am giving this cute accessory thumbs up. Buy it through eLuxury for $235.

Etro Floral Patchwork Flap Shoulder Bag


I feel like my brain is not quite working properly today, because I know that the shape of this bag distinctly reminds me of another bag, but I can’t put my finger on the bag for the life of me. HELP! Anyhow, I am in love with this bag for some odd reason. The shape of the Etro Floral Patchwork Flap Shoulder Bag is alluring along with the differing floral patterns and prints. You will find shades and hues of olive green, teal, and light blue on floral printed leather along with lizard embossed leather trim. Etro seems to draw me in many times with their flaunting designs. To carry the bag there is an adjustable lizard-embossed leather shoulder strap with an 8″ drop. Inside you will find purple satin-finished textile along with a zipped pocket for your goodies. The focal point of the bag that really brings it all together is the square shaped large gold metal buckle. Overall the bag measures 11.5″ x 5″ x 2″. I am still having a bit of a brain hole, so help me with the shape of this bag. I know you will pull through for me. Something about this flashy bag makes me want to click my way over to eLuxury and buy it for $975.
