I think it's interesting and edgy, although I prefer the original Pochette Métis. Infrarouge appears really 'loud' to me. I do like that it has the khaki interior (khaki = military green in French).

My biggest concern is more 'meta.'
For many decades, Louis Vuitton refused to alter the traditional monogram canvas. Then, we had the multicolor, which remained the exception for years. But now there are so many variations both in the men's and women's line. I can't help but think that this path is not the greatest. Just an inner feeling I guess.

Yeah, I'm with you on it looking "edgy", and, yes, I did think of the Multicolore line--how I love the look of it, especially in Noir, but could only handle the slg's on myself. The reason I ended up selling my MC Noir Alma and Trouville was because I wasn't using them as much as I loved looking at them--I felt like I was screaming LV every time I used them, kwim. Uh-oh, maybe I need to rethink this Infrarouge PM want :amuse:. I'd better email back my SA quickly--especially since I just saw Ame's post about the PM coming out in Empreinte :nuts:. Thanks, Fabuleux :biggrin:

Curious if the black and red canvas line will come in the mini pochette like it did last year in the black and blue color. I missed that one and have kicked myself every since! And if not... is there anyway to still hunt down the black and blue one? Thanks so much for all your knowledge and willingness to share with all of us. I'm sure it is a time consuming task and It's greatly appreciated :)

Dear @fabuleux - please explain how you're using the word "meta" here. I fear I'm just not hip (ahem - "young") enough to get the reference! [emoji4]

I'm so intrigued by the Infrarouge and supposed to get a call any day now (hopefully tomorrow) that my new bag will be released, but I have not seen the combination in person. Have you? I agree it looks a bit harsh in the photo, but I'm hopeful it's better in person. Is it? Thanks -

Yes, I have seen Infrarouge in previous NG collections. Granted it looks better in person than it does in the web picture in my opinion. But the re-release of Infrarouge raises greater questions about Louis Vuitton itself (meta), in particular the company's recent and unprecedented willingness to alter the traditional monogram canvas, which used to be quasi-sacred.

Pardon me, but still not understanding "meta." Not sure why it's concerning since the advent of the Damier Azure, Damier Graphite, Mono Noir, Mono Blanc, etc? It seems to me that this shouldn't be any more concerning than those releases. It seems clever to me to keep the traditional canvases but tweak the colors for today's market - and thus keep their clientele.

Well, you're gonna have to Google 'meta' on your own. :lol: And the concern is not Infrarouge per se, but rather the frequency with which Louis Vuitton has been releasing all these new canvas versions over the past two or three years. Although I like some of them, I do believe that it somewhat dilutes the 'sacred' status of the traditional Monogram Canvas, a true and time-tested fashion icon.

I can see what you mean about the new canvases.

I know what "meta" means and quite capable of using Google if I need it, but did not understand your use of the word. It must be a Generation X, Y or Z thing. [emoji12]
