Tuesdays with Twiggers: Louis Vuitton Damier Trevi

Megs · Sep 12th, 2007, 11:38 AM

One of the deciding factors when I purchase a new handbag is whether or not the bag is functional. If I can’t fit all my ‘stuff’ (which sometimes can include the kitchen sink) in it, then what is the point of paying upwards of $1000 for the bag? I am also not a huge fan of letting the weather dictate which bag I can carry that day. I just want to grab a bag, sling it on my shoulder, and run out the door! Thus, the Louis Vuitton Damier line has always appealed to me. These bags can take a beating and never show it! I have seen bags that are 10 years old and look like brand new. The problem with this line is that the bag has never been just right. The bags have always been a little too fancy and grown-up for my taste (e.g. Duomo) or a bit too casual (e.g. Saleya).

Louis Vuitton has finally got it right with the new Louis Vuitton Damier Trevi. This bag, just released earlier this month, is certainly functional. It can be a shoulder bag, or the strap can be removed and carried by hand. The zippered top provides security from prying hands. The pleat adds volume and a funky edge to keep it youthful, but not too casual. In additional to all these wonderful attributes the bag also comes in two sizes. The GM (16 x 12 x 8) is big enough to carry around the kitchen sink, while the PM (13 x 9 x6) is just big enough to fit all the essentials without being overloaded. And of course the price…at only $1725 for the GM and $1425 for the PM it is not too overwhelming! At least my bank account didn’t shudder in disbelief for once!

I don't really like this handbag, it's ok, but nothing too outstanding. Also I think the model is more appropriate for a small handbag than a big carry it all. ALso, I'm really tired of seeing damier everywhere. I swear it's getting more popular than mono around here!

Yup, it's OK, but nothing really special.

The smaller one looks nicer.

choccypie · Sep 12th, 2007, 01:50 PM

It certainly looks functional, but I personally wouldn't buy or use it. There are loads of nicer bags to be had for the same price or a lot less.

The smaller bag looks better but still not something I'd go for.

gacats · Sep 12th, 2007, 04:22 PM

I do like the bags & the prices aren't too scary.

EmilyK · Sep 12th, 2007, 04:29 PM

It doesn't do too much for me, but I'm thinking if I did buy it I would probably use it a lot. It's very classy. But I just doubt I'll ever buy it.

ZoeyZoo · Sep 12th, 2007, 04:34 PM

I really like the smaller bag but I still prefer the epi over the damier. If it came in epi I might consider it.

Barbiedoll · Sep 12th, 2007, 04:56 PM

This bag is actually adorable

divingcandie · Sep 12th, 2007, 05:17 PM

At first, the bag didn't attarct me at all, but when I saw our tPFer friends' modelling pics, it's a diferent story. I actually like it.

I did see the bag in the boutique and I think, the pics don't do any justice. The bag look way too good IRL. I didn't try it on though because a lot of people paid attention to it.

purplekitty · Sep 12th, 2007, 05:57 PM

I think it would look nicer in epi leather.

I love it. Is this a LE item, should I rush out to buy, or can I wait?

Staci B · Sep 12th, 2007, 06:42 PM

This bag TDF. ^^^ I don't believe its a LE bag.

M.A.H · Sep 12th, 2007, 07:24 PM

I love it. It looks so classy to me. I was planning to buy my first damier and I was thinking of speedy, but now for sure I will switch to this bag.

It is not limited....so you have plenty of time to grab one!
