Has anyone seen the new website? You have to login now. It’s going to be E-Commerce. Interesting.
I think the peach bag is a mini bag, too. The article mentioned the popularity of the mini bags. :crybaby:
I subscribed but haven’t received anything as of yet. I wonder if they are going to fully launch it externally and if this is just a teaser as this sort of gated content minimizes click-through/people staying and being interested in the content. E-commerce would be welcome but happy to skip the webshop if what we have seen is all that we can get...

Same here. I hope this doesn't mean getting constant emails and spam from them and that they haven't decided aggressive marketing is more important than creating great, classic products.
 
:lol:1. Bondage hatbox!!!! :lol: I almost choked on food with that response. It looks very LV. I need to shake the look of #1 when I think about the new look of their stores.:whut::wtf:
2. Definitely Celine-like. A little Launer, too. I could see the Queen carrying it.
3. Looks like the Lou and the 2017 LV flap bag with a rubbery wrapped chain top handle (the name escapes me) had a baby. I’m disappointed. Wide straps are not for everyone and that peach strap screams ‘Moynat.’

Okay. I’m still team Moynat, but this is looking a little rough for me. Don’t get me wrong- the bags are lovely and I’m sure they make someone’s heart beat fast, but not mine at this point. I can’t wait to see the other bags.

By the way- is the closure (clasp) on #3 like the closure on LV’s Pochette Metis?
Have been very busy lately and which has been eating away at my forum activity, but could not stay quiet here.

@Sourisbrune you always manage to be so kind! My first reaction has been far less... Constrained.

Completely agree on the description on Bag 3. As a Lou Lou owner this style feels a bit blasphemous somehow?!

I don't hate Bag 2 but am not seeing anything that makes it distinct.

Bag 1... Telling myself "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

I feel that with the goal of making things more hip, there is now no real direction!
 
Connecting the dots a bit for me:
1) M. Arnault has coveted Hermès for, like, forever, and can't have it. The Moynat relaunch 10 years ago was a gambit to make his own mini-Hermès.
2) M. Arnault is now >70 and he is transferring power to his sons.
3) Sons are catering to contemporary "luxury" trends (i.e. youth market)
4) The bag powerhouse of LVMH is LV, and if you're going to sell handbags to kids then clone a few of their >600 models (and I will spare you all another post of that literally killer, as in it will kill you if you look at it, VHS bag)
5) The filler in the WWD piece about "color" and taking a stand against black bags is rubbish and just a distraction from being without new ideas for how women need a handbag to carry stuff. If you can't even design a black bag then go away.
I have all the black bags I need in my collection but I'm ready to buy another black bag out of spite now.
 
Sneak peaks off of wwd website.

I like the blue bag. Undecided about the others. I don't particularly like the clasp on the peach one but like other aspects of it.
They all remind me of LV especially the clasp and large logo on the leather strap of the peach bag. Definitely a departure from Ramesh's designs and very unoriginal.
 
Looks like the new bags have been launched in Asia. Found two more styles on Chinese social media... Not sure about reposting rules so erring on the side of caution. But there is a bucket bag and another top handle bag that would fit right in LV. The structure and style of the top handle bag reminds me of the Suhali line in Kelly form but with fewer embellishments. The bucket bag is all leather with a magnetic closure on top. There are no handles, just a strap. It reminds me of the Mulberry Iris style in bucket form.

The Launer/Celine baby comes in box, which does elevate the style. That said, still not sure I'm convinced.

I may need to hunt down the green barenia Rejane I saw last year as a last hurrah now...
