Hollywood Hills Cat Burglars Bagged Some Jewels
Well, it looks like they didn’t bring their own bags for the capers. Duh! I guess why do that when they’ve got their pick of hot designer bags to pick from? The image above is just SOME of Paris Hilton’s jewelry that they heisted- and the Louis Vuitton Monogramouflage Keepall that they car...

The White Ribbon Alliance X Louis Vuitton Bag
Remember the collaboration that I blogged about a couple days ago? The one Naomi Campbell & Marc Jacobs worked out so that Louis Vuitton would donate a portion of the sales of a particular bag to the White Ribbon Alliance? Well, I still don’t know the name of the bag- but that’s Naomi w...

Naomi Campbell & Louis Vuitton Fight Maternal Mortality
Naomi picked a Louis Vuitton bag that will sell with a portion going to the White Ribbon Alliance. The name of the bag hasn’t been released yet, but WWD describes it as a “Soft, square style, its signature canvas stitched in strips atop metallic leather.” Sounds lovely! It will retail fo...

Louis Vuitton 2.0: Live Fashion Show on Facebook
But I have to say that the Fashion Show that Louis Vuitton is throwing LIVE on Facebook this morning shows that they really get it! I’m stoked to see how it plays out- but it’s going to be streaming live on Wed. October 7 at 2:30 pm Paris time- or 8:30 am EST or GULP 5:30 am my time (Pacific!) Yike...

What Can You Do with a Fake Handbag?
He’s not using any of the counterfeit logos or labeling- (he’d not have done this with a Louis Vuitton monogram fake for example- cause then, he’d have just made his own fake, and that’s not the goal!)- but just the unmarked leather, and fashioned it into a cool and really practical case.

Tavi on a Louis Vuitton Hat Box
Gosh she’s a breath of fresh air! I am totally entertained by Tavi. I totally love that she appreciates fashion, and has killer style- but is so innocent and unaffected (for now- cross fingers) in her approach. If you don’t know 13 year old Tavi Gevinson… the self proclaimed Style Rookie wh...

First Look at the Louis Vuitton for Red Cross Pieces…
Love this one from Louis Vuitton Patrick-Louis Vuitton. He’s not only one of Louis Vuitton’s descendants and the guy in charge of LV Special Orders- but he’s a painter- and so designed a special trunk for his brushes and watercolors!

Louis Vuitton & Parsons Runway Style!
What do you think of the winning dress in the live competition put on by Parsons, The New School of Design and Louis Vuitton? I mean listen to this crazy twisted Project Runway style contest. The competition was between ten pairs of students. Each pair was given access to signature Louis Vu...

LV slaps eBay for Keyword Violations
IMO, this is going a bit far… I mean, I know that Louis Vuitton has always kept tight control over the use (and mis-use) of their good name. And I’m sure that’s partially why they have maintained such great status and reputation over the years. But, Louis Vuitton does not like any disruptio...
LV slaps eBay for Keyword Vioations
So basically, Louis Vuitton did not like the fact that eBay was paying for the use of keywords that Louis Vuitton has trademarked. These included words like Christian Dior, Givenchy, Kenzo, and Guerlain, and other LVMH owned perfume related & trademarked terms. The entire case hu...

Attn: Fashionphiles in Indianapolis- don’t miss this!
It’s tomorrow at Earl’s Auction Co in Indianapolis. I’ve only included pictures of some bags here… and Louis Vuitton bags at that. But there are literally probably 100 or so- bags (Chanel, Gucci, Fendi, Ferragamo, etc!), and more wallets and small pieces.

Beyonce’s Louis Vuitton Patchwork Tribute gifted?
I know, I know… supposedly, Louis Vuitton doesn’t do that. But, Beyonce was one of the 5 US and 24 worldwide lucky ladies (or gents, I suppose) who got one of the infamous Louis Vuitton Patchwork Tribute bags… remember? The ones that cost $52,000?

Kanye in his Louis Vuitton Leggings
So, GQ gives Kanye an award for being one of the top 10 most stylish men in America. And Kanye shows up for the shoot with Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse pink graffiti leggings around his neck- as a scarf. Something tells me if I showed up at a shoot with leggings around my neck, they’d be calling [......

How to buy authentic luxury bags on eBay.
With eBay facing lawsuits from Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Tiffany & Company etc. and having them come up on both sides of the win-lose column, I thought I should write a little mini guide to help my blog readers who are looking to buy authentic luxury goods on eBay.

Opinion: Paris Court of Appeals Upholds Decision to Keep LV, Dior off eBay
Wow. I mean, what would it do to the value of any luxury good- if it no longer had resale value? A lot of people buy cars, art, jewelry (and handbags) with their inherent resale value- and even, investment value in mind. Unreal. Again… I’m on the egde of my seat to find out what a US Court will...

If it bugs you so much… why buy a fake?
She speaks of the Murakami/ Marc Jacobs collaboration as resulting in “cutesy-poo Louis Vuitton handbags”. From there, it’s just down hill… trolling Canal Street & eBay for current fakes and ripping on Louis Vuitton’s anti-counterfeit educational measures.
