I'm about to go LV crazy! +suggestions for a guy

[casamance]

So I don't have any LV right now, just other bags (coach, gucci, some obscure designers). I always admired LV and it's time that I owned some. I've been looking at a few LV pieces that I want before I go on a trip in early March.

I'm thinking:
-Damier Olav MM
-Mono Groom Zippy Organizer (seems perfect for keeping cash/cards/passport/tix all in one place while on a trip somewhere)
-Mono Simple Card Holder (need one)

But I want another bag besides this. Maybe I'll get a Keepall, but I really wanted another type of bag that I could just carry around. Maybe the Taiga Kasbek GM tote or even the Whistler Cabas...I saw one in the Chevy Chase, MD store, although I didn't take a close look at it. I do really like the Mono Pochette Gange but I really can't see myself wearing one...it looks a little silly like those wallets people hang around their neck.

What do you think?

I love my Olav MM and my zippy organizer. Both great bags. Keepall isn't practical for everday, just for travel. Whistler cabas is hot too.

BTW. Welcome to TPF!

I really like the whistler cabas.

lv is coming out with a minimalistic wallet for men like the portes cartes with a money clip on the back! slim and useful! soon!

personally, i like the cabas whistler and taiga items for men

The Olav MM is a good choice!!! Although I've heard that the odd shape isn't really practical...

My suggestions for other LV man-bags:
-Damier Geant Loup
-Damier Melville Messenger
-Bastille
-Bosphore Messenger GM

As for the Porte Cartes Simple, I would get something that actually has a flap... if you overstuff the card holder, it'll look overstretched and funky... :s Suggestions for card holders:


Louis Vuitton
Card Holder
$140.00


Louis Vuitton
Credit Card Holder
$125.00


Louis Vuitton
Pocket Organizer
$225.00

The groom zippy is gorgeous! A keepall would be great as well- definitely a staple. The Innsbruck Cabas and Carryall are beautiful as well.

Thanks for the welcome. I think it was actually the Innsbruck Cabas that caught my eye (they probably had a Whistler too). So maybe that or also I was looking at the Tobago Carryall, either that or the Tobago Keepall 50 in yellow. We'll see, those are last season, so maybe I should just forget about those ones.

I looked at a few Taigas and honestly they're too plain for my taste. Although in certain situations I believe understatement is better.

Only thing I'm sure about is the Zippy Organizer, I love the green interior on that thing!

I like Damier Olav, Keepall & Mono Groom Zippy Org.

I really do like the odd shape of the Olav with the pockets that 'go in'. It's so unique. Although I was disappointed that they don't make the GM anymore; I tend to go for BIG bags.

As for the card wallet, if all I need is my Platinum card and my ID, it would suit my needs.

Wow I had no idea LV made an Innsbruck Carryall. A little too much $ for one bag. That Innsbruck Cabas is HOT though.

They also have a few Men's S/S bags coming out on Feb. 15th:

WOW are you serious? This is from the SS/07 runway show? That Floral keepall looks insane, love it! I'd like to see that and the Kangaroo sac plat in person. Somehow I doubt they'll have one over here in DC, might have to go to a bigger LV store in New York. Thanks for posting that.

Ok I just called the LV NY store and I may just have to go up there to raid what's left of their f/w 06 ready to wear collection before it's gone! Some of those jackets I love!!!
