Hello!
Yesterday in the Merrion Hotel I spent half an hour with the Louis Vuitton S/S’12 accessories collection.
Backstage at the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2012 show, Marc Jacobs said of the season’s collection, “We decided we wanted to do something very pretty, and very gentle, and very loving, and just fill it with pretty colours and beautiful light, luminous textures, things that were translucent and transparent. We wanted to … have air and lightness and softness”.
Naturally the collection I saw included plenty of bags, as well as lace and fur collars, shades, a parasol and a delicious brown leather binoculars case…
Although strictly menswear, that binoculars case would make a stunning bag…
Multicoloured classics, the ‘Alma’ bag is now available in over 20 new colours, with matching card holders, cosmetic cases and zippy wallets.

Leather and latticework: The metallic calf-skin leather ‘Basket’ bag… I love this. It’s so wrong it’s almost genius.
I think the “air and lightness and softness” brief has been met, don’t you?
And here’s a whisper of Pre-Fall…
