LV catalog/book....is it worth the purchase?

[itsgood2beme]

I am thinking about buying one of the LV catalogs,but wanted to know if it is worth the price - $135.00 I believe? Does it give the collection for the whole year of those purses currently being produced? Does it give more than 1 photo of a purse, or is is more of a reference...I haven't seen one before, if anyone could share his/her thoughts I would greatly appreciate it! THANKS!

Well for the yearly catalogs - the ones they have in stores, I have gotten mine for free, but I believe they cost around 10-15 $

I know the biiig book with the handle outside is around 120 euros when I saw it in Milan - which could be around 135$, I haven't looked in the book, so I would love for someone to explain what that big book contains..

I think your thinking of the hard bound book. The Birth of Modern Luxuries. It is very nice.

The one twinkle mentioned above is a great book! It has so much history and sooooooooo many pictures!
I spend more than that on a textbook...so it was worth it to me!

wow. another thing to add to my wish list!!! sounds cool!!!

The Birth of Modern Luxury isn't really like a catalog at all. It is a biography. It is absolutely wonderful!

BML book is more of a coffee table book.. something to flip through.. it's not really something you'd read back to back like a paperback, however, if you're on here like the rest of us, you probably would read it back to back. lol. i haven't even cracked mine open yet.. i bought it while i was in vegas.

imo, i think it's a great coffee table book and conversation piece/starter. hehe.

I love the BML book..if you're a true LV fan and want to learn all about the history of the company and the family, etc. it's a great book to have.

The catalogs, which show the current styles are free when you go in the store.

The $10 dollar catalogs are priceless....get the $20.00 icon book out now instead of the Birth of Modern Luxury!

 

[photoobsessive]

where do you get the icon book?

 

[lmpsola]

where do you get the icon book?

At the store, or when you call the 1866 number.

 

[jimmyneyugn]

oh yes, get the icon book before they get rid of it.. or the price increases. lol. the BML book will always be around.

I love to have BML but I can't find one w/ a reasonable price now:s . I'd rather save $ to buy a new pochette than buy that book at over $200

Actually BML is already out of print, so what is left is it. It is already going for more higher than list on amazon.
