Louis Vuitton Spring 2009 part one: Bags

The first images of the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 09 show are just coming in now. Most of the photos are of the bags, which is what most of us really care about, right?

I can't wait to see which ones I'm going to be aching for come Spring. It's also fun to pick out which ones I think will be manufactured for the stores, which ones will become limited editions and which ones won't make it off the runway.

This collection reminds me a bit of Marc Jacobs's eponymous line this season; lots of colours from different spectres of the rainbow, a mix of unlikely fabrics and patterns, a multitude of shapes and plenty of influences from other countries and eras.

The bags are a mish-mash of classic monogram with feathers, beads, embossed leather, leopard (again), chain-linked handles, tassles and other embellishments.

But check them out for yourself. See any you like?








I think this one is going to be a best seller. It has lots of monogram, an easy-to-wear handle and a cute round shape. Very marketable.




Glad to see clutches are still huge this season. Love the soft material.

Everyone will want a piece of this leopard beauty.
