Damier Graphite Tadao with rolled handles???

[latinmalemodel]

I don't know if any of you guys have seen this but wile turning the pages of Esquire Magazine October 2008 issue I came a cross this a picture of what looks like the Damier Graphite Tadao with rolled leather handles O_o I think it's a prototype just given to the press, I personally prefer the rolled handles over the flat ones, I hope LV is not trying to save money by making the handles flat instead of rolled, call me crazy starting a thread about bag handles
what do you think?

Here is a spy pic I took and another of the actual Graphite Tadao

maybe the first pic is a different angle of the keepall and not the tadao? not sure though. what i'm sure is I really love damier graphite line haha

 

[latinmalemodel]

now that you mention it it looks like they folded the sides of a keepall towards the back and made it flat poor keepall, thanks for pointing it out...

here's a pic of the keepall

I have noticed though that the new suhali bags don't have rolled handles but flat also on the new quilted Monogram bags...

Anyway, this is a good bag to have.

now that is has been pointed out, i think it is the keepall alright. but you know, i would have preferred too if the tadao came with the rolled handles. i can feel how much better it would be when it is especially when hand-held. but anyhow, i still love my tadao. haha. one of the best all-around bags ever.

that's what prevented me from buying any bag from the graphite line. I prefer rolled handles on handheld bags.

I only want the President but that's another story.

Oooo.. rolled handles wouldve been soo much better looking. it gives the bag almost a new look. too bad it wasnt true i would love to get a graphite speedy like many of the other ladies here~

i'd prefer the flat handles !!!!!!!!

 

[Mattd7474]

def. a keepall!

 

[Liberté]

It's the KEEPALL no doubt.

 

[latinmalemodel]

I think I was fooled since I don't own a keepall or maybe it's a sighn from the LV goods enabling me to get one haha.

I dunno how the flat handles feel but I do not exactly like the feel of the rolled handles, too chunky and out of place. I think the flat handles are more user friendly.
