Welcome to another installment of Tuesdays with Twiggers!!



Confession time! I have a girl crush on Scarlett Johannsen. I know some of you might not agree, but just look at that ad! The flowing blond hair, the gorgeous color palette… GOTCHA… this isn’t a celebrity blog, this is a Purse Blog, right? Well move your eyes down a little and check out that bag! My heart stopped a beat when I first saw it on the runway months ago, and now that the print campaign is here my bank account’s heart has also stopped.

The new Louis Vuitton Monogram Mirage line has done the impossible by turning the boring monogram canvas into a true work of art. Notice that the LV monogram pattern gradually fades the closer it gets to the top of the bag. This is a process in photography know as degrade. There are also a couple new styles of bags being released in this line, most notably the Griet, which is shown in the ad above.

Now is the time to break the bad news to you. Like everything else in the Louis Vuitton world, these bags are coming to a store near you with a hefty price tag! OK….they are gorgeous bags, and yes they are limited edition bags…but I am still sticker-shocked by a price of (I’d advise you to sit down) $8,850 for an alligator trimmed canvas (say it with me people) yes canvas bag! But no fear, the average everyday person can snap up the Speedy 30 for a mere $1,800. Remember, these prices are subject to change (i.e. increase) before release. Sorry Louis Vuitton, I’m out! What do you think? Worth it or not?

oooh me likey!!!

I think this is a fine variation on the monogram, if only a slight one. I know the speedy is like a dream com etrue for many; no vachetta to worry about, no upside down LVs and hot black or red colour scheme.

Personally I love the Bordeaux colours of the Louis Vuitton collection fall 2007.^_^

The jury is still out for me on this line. When I saw it initially I was champing at the bit to get it, I hate patina & dirty looking handles. However, I am not sure I will like the fading pattern, need to see this bag IRL. If I do go for one it will probably be the Speedy!

I love the Mirage Speedy, but like you Twiggers, I'm out. There's so many other bags I want that cost less than $1800.

[Juneplum]

yikes.. i LOVE lv but these are hideous (imho)

[gacats]

Sheesh! These are just OK to me, but the price is so high!
Don't like these nearly enough to shell out the $$.
But LOVE your blogs on Tuesday Twiggers!

Looks like a combo of an LV bag and a Fendi B-bag. I'll pass.

PS. I have a crush on Scarlett Johannsen too!

LV Griet Exotic
Im IN LOVE with this bag...SO IN LOVE. Not so much with the price. I think I will wait until it goes on sale!roflmfao::roflm fao:

[theglamorous]

I like the bag.

[purplekitty]

That griet mirage is very cute! But for that price, I rather get something else. I have to add that Scarlett Johansen is perfect for the LV campaign, I am very happy she got to do it again!

[pisdapisda79]

The LV Speedy Mirage is absolutely gorgeous. I have to see it in person if the price is worth it

[dr. twiggers]

Sun shine; YOu crack me up! LOLOL

yea...I'm listed for the speedy...but really...that would be settling to me..the Griet is the one I really like! So I think I'm out for this line!

But stay tuned next week....more fall preview :-)

Maybe there will be something we can all afford NOT! lol
