Ok, only one side has the artists name and the opposite sides without it are prettier IMO. Hmm.

Invitation to the Pop-up opening is rolling out. Anyone else in NYC got the invitation?
I received one, but I'm gonna pass on this collection. I'm flying out that day for a short vacay [emoji41]
I wish her article was a bit more than a summary of her first impressions... A little more substance would have been nice! There is a lot to discuss here and she is our expert!
I don't think the collection ranks close to becoming my favorite LV collab ever, but it certainly doesn't deserve the hate it is receiving.
The Kardashian Jenner girls can carry it. The bags already have their initials on them
I actually understand what Burke said: "But we like to do things that can be perceived as politically incorrect. If we are getting flak, we think we are doing something right."
I understand that the collection is both a provocation and probably playful innuendo on its own industry (fashion, hypes etc.) and should be regarded as that.
That's why I think the artists name on the bags are crucial, otherwise it would be really just a not so pretty copy of some merchandise without significance. I think, it's more about the statement itself than creating a new bag or making a pretty bag.
The collection should be viewed with a wink in mind.
I liked this post before I read the article, because I usually like what she writes, but I stepped back after I read it. I'm underwhelmed by her article, to be honest. And definitely not because she didn't like the collection -- that's completely fine, it seems 99.9% of the world detest it --, but because I found the article quite shallow. I expected more of her view on this.
Oh, well.
I think Amanda's article was fine. She's just a part of the majority of the people that do not like it.
My mom got the invite for the party, I do not know if she is going but I definitely will not be.

I hope the colored leather won't melt like in the Ikat Neverfull.
I got 2 clutches - the rubens and van gogh. I got them because they are wacky, fun, gaudy, garish, colorful, different, weird, loud, hideous, functional and easily packable for all my travels. I haven't bought an LV in over a year, 90% Chanel and 10% Dior (the last 50 or so bags) so I guess something resurrected the need to execute. These screamed tacky in the best of ways. I didn't want a big face on a bag (mona lisa) or a dog's furry tail in a child's crotch (fragonard) so I went with "pretty" (van gogh) or "interesting" (rubens). They called yesterday, items are en route. We shall see...I am open to loathing them, or scratching that guilty pleasure *fashion don't* itch. Either way, I was all to curious to at least see IRL.
