Louis Vuitton

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...

Me neither! Or maybe you missed them from last weeks Louis Vuitton fashion show in Paris? If so… don’t fret! Check out this vid from NY Mag’s The Cut. Jeremy Kost makes you feel like you were there! Me neither! Or maybe you missed them from last weeks Louis Vuitton fashion show in Paris? If so… d...

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 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...

Don’t miss this!  We’ve gotten together with the bag lovers of all bag lovers over at Bag Snob for this fabulous giveaway in honor of their anniversary! This is an amazing Louis Vuitton Pomme D’Amour Vernis Alma GM ($2,520 retail)!  It’s such a show stopper and a perfect bag for this fall.  T...

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...

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.

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...

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!

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...

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...

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...

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.

I knew that I’d love it… but what’s brilliant is that even my friends and family who aren’t into fashion loved it! Could watch this clip of André Leon Talley all day long! Only ALT could get away with using a Louis Vuitton Boite Flacons case (like a mini trunk!) as a water bottle holder!

I know that Bobbi Brown is a big Louis Vuitton fan… but I love that she’s using her new Louis Vuitton Bosphore Pochette as a brush holder.  One of our favorite spots for all your handbag related 411 is Bagsnob, and the Bagsnob ladies have been covering New York Fashion Week and just snapped the...

The whole thing reminded me of this old 1960’s picture of a monogram Louis Vuitton bike trunk (above) that I saw a while ago.  Isn’t this just the kind of thing you’d need if you were going to transport any one of these glamorous new bikes!

I mean… I’m no skater but how sweet is this!  Jasper wore his namesake Louis Vuitton Jaspers and did what any other self respecting Louis loving sk8Rboi would just die to do… he broke ‘em in on the amazing Stephen Sprouse X Louis Vuitton Graffiiti $8,250 Limited Edition skate deck.

I thought for those of you bag loving fashionphiles out there- I’d give you a list of my favorite Top Twenty handbag/ fashion focused twitterers!  I tried to include those who are the most interesting, active- and relevant.  Let me know if I left anyone out!!!

By FASHIONPHILE And I love seeing the Louis Vuitton Kalahari on someone other than Madonna (although I still totally enjoy her ads!) That’s Ashley Simpson above left- looking like a happy hippie as she gets a little pampering done yesterday at Senna Cosmetics and Make-up studio in Beverly Hills.  I actua...

By FASHIONPHILE OK, this one’s got Louis & Gaston Vuitton rolling in their graves. This may be worse than the LV monogram Cutlass, wedding cake AND the toilet seat.  (Although, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that this house actually has a LV Mono toilet seat!) Have you seen worse? Photo Credit:  Iva...

By FASHIONPHILE 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?

By FASHIONPHILE 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 [......

By FASHIONPHILE Honestly, decorating with Louis Vuitton trunks and other luggage just makes any living space look more amazing.  Be sure to send an email to jesse@fashionphile.com if you’re looking for a antique Louis Vuitton trunk, or stop by our Showroom.  We have tons to choose from!

By FASHIONPHILE Love her website!  Christina Aguilera has a thing for vintage Louis Vuitton trunks & hard cases.  We’re just upset that she doesn’t have the Damier Alzer 70 that she (well, actually- her assistant) bought from us here at FASHIONPHILE as an organizing tool for her closet!

By FASHIONPHILE 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.

By FASHIONPHILE Basically, today the Court of Appeals upheld a June 30 ruling that has ordered eBay to stop allowing the listing of any Christian Dior, Kenzo Parfums, Guerlain and Parfums Givenchy fragrances and cosmetics on eBay France. Again… I’m on the egde of my seat to find out what a US Court will say i...

By FASHIONPHILE ShareThis Ouch… a Paris Court ordered eBay to pay $63 million in damages to Louis Vuitton for negligence in allowing the sales of counterfeit Louis Vuitton on the website.  (Read more about it here…) You have to hand it to Louis Vuitton.  They got the job done.  They single handedly lit a fire u...

By FASHIONPHILE most valuable and newest” handbags stolen out of her closet in her home- while she was out during the day. Apparently the thieves climbed in a bathroom window. She lost Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Coach etc. ...

By FASHIONPHILE I mean, that’s what I really love about Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermes, Gucci, etc. It’s not always the hot new “it” bag that does it for me. Often it’s the tried and true standard- the classic staple that is versatile enough to stand ...

By FASHIONPHILE Pick up the Mag or check the website for a nice little write-up that Marc Jacobs did in honor of his Louis Vuitton collaborator- the Love fest continues! The list is an interesting one… everyone from the Dalai Lama to Miley Cyrus. ...

By FASHIONPHILE Apparently, Bernard Arnault isn’t worried about the recent boycott of LVMH that’s spread across cyber space through Chinese blogs, chat rooms and discussion forums. The Cyber Boycott includes not only Louis Vuitton handbags and accessories, but all 60 companies owned and operated by...

By FASHIONPHILE 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.
