Crossbody bag, $1,960.00 at Louis Vuitton.
Submitted by mymanic. I just find this so disappointing because it had potential to be great. Marc Jacobs isn’t the first designer to take something drab and mundane and turn it into something luxurious. Martin Margiela built his whole artisan collection of this idea and Chanel tried their hand at this with the Coco Cabas bag four years ago, but I don’t think that was very successful either. LV’s problem is that they’re being too literal. It’s one thing to be inspired by a trash bag, but to slap your logo on on a hefty bag and sell it for 2k is tacky. Only complete fashion victims fall for that.
Drop the logo, replace the tacky patent with a buttery leather, do something about that orange, and then you may have something. Then again, that would make it a completely different bag.
