Ditt første blikk på Virgil Ablohs siste vesker for Louis Vuitton

Det er nesten to år siden Virgil Abloh ble utnevnt til kreativ direktør for Louis Vuitton herreklær. Ablohs retning pustet nytt liv inn i merkets menns samlinger, skinner et sterkt lys på dem og vakte oppmerksomhet fra både menn og kvinner.

Ablohs kreative visjon har alltid vært forankret i streetwear, og på et tidspunkt i mote når street style clear-samlinger hersker suverene, har Ablohs design blitt utrolig godt mottatt.

For høstvinter 2020 tok Abloh en titt på den stadig utviklende mennenes dress og hadde som mål å utfordre tradisjonelle kleskoder. Samtidig omdefinerte Abloh hva begrepet ‘streetwear’ faktisk betyr, og karakteriserte det som ‘klærne vi faktisk bruker og måten vi bruker dem på.’

Når det gjelder poser, og det var mange, var Monogram i spill i denne samlingen, selv om Abloh valgte å utfordre det tradisjonelle monogram -lerretet. Oppdaterte versjoner av Classic LV Monogram dukket opp på morsomme måter, for eksempel en konstruksjon av babyblå keepall samt gigantiske skjærmonogramposer. I tillegg utfordret denne samlingen tradisjonelle menns vesker, med lyse farger som blå og rosa som dukket opp sammen med mer dempede nøytrale. Se alle posene nedenfor.

Det handlet om quilting, topphåndtak så vel som store koblinger på høsten 2020 rullebaner

da Bottega Venetas ‘The Pouch’ tok moteverdenen med storm tidligere i fjor, selv vi ikke kunne ha spådd hypen som skulle komme! Posen har blitt sett på mange fremtredende moteikoner fra stjerner så vel som redaktører til Starlets Social Network. Det er ingen som avviser relevansen av 2019s største IT-element, så vel som noen få sesonger etter utgivelsen, det ser ut til å være et fremtredende stykke. Designere som Givenchy, Prada så vel som Alexander Mqqueen har satset enormt på den fortsatte trenden, og introduserer forbrukere for nye store koblinger for høsten 2020.

Andre veskeaspekter var også til stede på vår foretrukne designers rullebaneshow som quilting – både puffete så vel som klassiske – i tillegg til hånd brakte poser med topphåndtak. Noen designere viste frem flere mønstre i en silhuett, som på Valentino der design tucked vatterte, puffy skinnkoblinger under armene eller på Miu Miu, der innrammet topp administrerer poser ble vist i luksuriøse pute -lær.

Gorjana Hudson Quilted Crossbody Bag

Det er noen få ting som jeg er forberedt på å innrømme om Gorjana Hudson Quilted Crossbody -vesken før vi begynner. Først forstår jeg at det lukter vagt av Eau de Chanel Ripoff. Med quilting, et kjedehåndtak, så vel som skinnstrukturert til deres velkjente kaviar, av programmet det gjør. Plasseringen av Little Gold -piggene minner meg også om mye av Marc Jacobs enkeltpigget ta på vesken, som også er vattert.

Til tross for all den åpenbare ikke-originaliteten, liker jeg fremdeles vesken. Det er ganske priset, på trenden, samt har gode tilbud på innsiden for å holde alle tingene mine organisert. I riktig sammenheng er selv om jeg ikke er helt original.

Det er en ganske rimelig pose på under $ 200, i tillegg til at et stort godt kjøp kan redusere et mangfold av synder. I tillegg er marineblå enklere å ha på seg under varm værforhold enn kaldt siden mørk denim, så vel som gode tilbud med svart metode til lettere, flerfargede klær, noe som gjør en marinepung enklere å integrere i en daglig garderobe. Den skinnende gullmaskinvaren integrert med fargen til sekken gir den bare et notat av Sailor-Y-moro; Jeg vil foreslå at du bruker den med hvite bukse med hvite lin, så vel som en bedårende tank. Kjøp med Shopbop for $ 198.

En ode til Chanels Paris-Bombay Back to School Messenger

Vintage-inspirerte og arkivvekkelser har vært helt raseri i det siste. Fra Gucci Diana til Fendi Baguette, Prada Cleo og listen fortsetter, ser det ut til at det som er gammelt er mye helt nytt igjen.

Mens mange av de nevnte merkene har brukt denne trenden som gearing for å selge vesker, og ofte planlegger enorme markedsføringskampanjer rundt dråpene til disse vintage-inspirerte håndvesker, fungerer andre merker litt annerledes. Ta for eksempel Chanel, hvis hele merkevaren er basert på sanne klassikere, eller forhøyede versjoner av dem, som jobber gang på gang, noe som gjør behovet for å skyve arkivvekkelser foreldet.

En uhyggelig likhet

Likevel, hvis du undersøker Chanels nye vesker, kan du ofte plassere påvirkningene tilbake til en viss samling, tidsperiode eller visse vesker generelt, og det var akkurat det som skjedde da jeg så poser fra Chanels høst 2021 forhåndsinnsamling. Umiddelbart stormet hjernen min tilbake til en tid for nesten et tiår siden. Det var vinteren i 2012, og jeg hadde nettopp uteksaminert college. Jeg hadde mye (lest: for mye), tid på hendene og fordi jeg prøvde å bryte inn motebransjen brukte jeg timer på timer på datamaskinen min, følger med på dagens trender, samlinger, serviceforhold og hva var hva i bransjen.

Da jeg identifiserte denne messenger-vesken, som denne sesongen bare kaller en klaffpose, blant forhåndsinnsamlingen visste jeg at jeg hadde sett noe likt for en gang siden, og det gikk ikke lang tid før jeg oppdaget dens innflytelse. Enter, Chanels 2012 Métiers d’Art Paris-Bombay Collection. Samlingen som helhet var en av Chanels edgier, med robuste kjeder og nøytrale jordfarger med innslag av de mye mer feminine detaljene merkevaren er kjent for. Kjederne fortsetter å herske suverene i designerveskeverdenen, så det er ikke uvanlig å se nikkene til denne samlingen i dag.

Og spesielt en pose fanget blikket mitt da, så mye at jeg fremdeles levende husket detaljene, 9 år senere. Jeg husker at jeg tenkte at det var en pose jeg ville ha med meg, annerledes enn den stive visjonen og mye mer formell estetikk som jeg visualiserte da jeg tenkte på Chanel. Selv om jeg visste at vesken aldri ville være min på den tiden, bodde den i hodet mitt og forble der gjemt bort i et lite hjørne til jeg så den nåværende forhåndsinnsamlingen.

Chanel Paris-Bombay tilbake til skolens messengerveske

Denne appellen gjenstår å være usedvanlig sjelden, og et søk i videresalgsmarkedet gir ganske mye null resultater. Selv om versjoner (det er to størrelser) har vært tilgjengelige på Fashionphile, Realreal og Poshmark i fortiden. Karakterisert Byan over edgy stemning med en tykk kjede drømmer jeg fremdeles om denne vakre vesken. Posens sensasjonelle iriserende vatterte kropp er aksentert av antikk-tone maskinvare, som er noe jeg elsker på en pose i stedet for skinnende kjeder eller maskinvare. Like relevant nå som alltid, er denne sjeldne vesken en jeg ikke snart glemmer.

Review: Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette Accessoires

When Louis Vuitton’s Multi Pochette Accessoires burst on the purse scene a simple 5 months back it promptly discovered its method onto my want list. The bag shot to popularity, selling out nearly immediately, as well as in the meantime racking up waitlists of thousands around the globe.

The Multi Pochette is the very first Louis Vuitton monogram bag that I have lusted after in nearly 8 years, as well as my instant infatuation cemented the truth that I had to have it. I generally make my one huge bag get around the end of the year so the timing seemed to be just right, up until I realized that really getting my hands on one would be almost impossible.

I put my name on waitlists at a number of stores as I refused to pay a lot more than retail by means of a resale site. lastly in late November the bag fell into my hands. After a solid two months of utilize I’m able to do a deep dive into this hybrid bag. La oss gå!

Aesthetics

The originality of this bag struck a chord with me, which is why I provided it five stars. You either like the great vibe of a hybrid bag or dislike it—I, of course, like it. There’s something about the juxtaposition of traditional Louis Vuitton monogram canvas as well as the contemporary multi-bag shape. completed off with a stylish utility crossbody strap, this bag is effortlessly cool.

Usability + Functionality

In terms of usability there’s truly not all that much to say. While yes, the bag(s) are on the tinier side, there are sufficient nooks as well as crannies to bring whatever I requirement for the day. In the primary Pochette I keep my little wallet, as well as cosmetics situation plus gum/other miscellaneous products in the back slit pocket. Then, in the smaller Pochette I store my phone plus a pair of sun glasses in a little microfiber pouch. other evaluations of the bag (which I read/watched prior to buying) discussed the coin pouch as a a lot more useless item, though I’ve discovered this to be one of my preferred parts of the bag! I keep my headphones as well as my secrets in there for simple access. I’ve even begun hooking it onto/inside other bags as those are the two things I’m always ‘losing’ inside my bag.

Though the bag fits my needs well, I knocked off a half a star because of an problem that’s occurred to me a few times. When utilizing the bag as is (all parts connected), a lot more than when I’ve meant to put something in the back Pochette as well as it’s instead fell with the hole between each bag. A minor problem however an problem nevertheless as well as something to be mindful of. I nearly misplaced my budget at a bar one evening when it fell on the floor.

Quality + Construction

First produced for travel, Louis Vuitton monogram canvas has a rich history as well as has been around for over 150 years. As it was originally utilized in trunk-making, coated canvas is an exceptionally long lasting material, resulting in strong as well as strong bags. My Pochette was made in the USA, which I understand has been a topic of worry for many, however therefore far I haven’t come across any type of high quality issues.

Price + Value

It’s difficult to think about any type of designer bag a ‘value’ in this day as well as age, however being that this bag is essentially 4 pieces as well as retails for $1,640, I’d state this bag comes quite close. I absolutely like that this bag has so lots of uses. There’s many methods to wear it, as well as furthermore you can utilize the pieces other methods as well. I bought a monogram strap for my quick 25 in Paris ten years ago, as well as I like that I can utilize it right here also if I’m using something that the Kaki eco-friendly doesn’t fit together well with. You can see it in action here. Conversely, I’ve utilized the Kaki eco-friendly strap with my quick 25. I’ve absolutely been getting the most out of all of this bag’s pieces so far as well as for that I’d state the cost is absolutely right. I did provide this a 4, however, since as you’ll checked out below its staying power is uncertain.

Staying Power

While multi-bags seem to be right here to stay, with other premium designers releasing their own versions of this trend, durability beyond a few seasons is uncertain. That being stated I can’t provide this bag over 3.5 stars as in two years multi bags may extremely well be ‘out’.

Overall Rating

Overall, if you’re into the concept of a multi bag as well as if you’re able to get your hands on the Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette Accessoires, you should. It’s exceptionally elegant as well as simple to wear—it looks great with a lot of outifits, even a basic sneaker look. though the staying power of hybrid type bags is uncertain, this bag is still a excellent get as all of the pieces are traditional sufficient to be used on their own. general I’m exceptionally delighted with my purchase of this (somewhat controversial) bag, as well as at the end of the day that’s all that geNuinely betyr noe.

Freitag Bags

I know it’s been quite some time that I’ve actually contributed anything to the front page, I’ve been occupied with school and other side projects that kept me busy. savner meg? I betcha did.

Last sunday was absolute mayhem in the mid-size city of 150k souls, called Darmstadt. located about 30km south of Frankfurt, this nest was where I spent a lot of of my childhood and adolescent life trying to grow up… which I don’t think I still did. Anyhow, in the past few months, the mayor of Darmstadt made a decision that it would be good for the local economy to have open Sundays once in a while (note: in case you didn’t know, German Sundays are normally reserved for church, family time and recovering from nights out clubbing til 6 a.m. – not for shopping). This would give small stores the opportunities to draw in the curious crowd, offer specials and give the buyer the advantage of having another day of the week to dash out their hard-earned monies in exchange for terrific goods that our socialistic society has to offer. However, the actual result looks not quite as bright as the smartasses that govern that barn had initially anticipated. thousands of mindless shopaholics stream into town from 1pm til closing time at six, clogging the inbound streets to an extent that they had to let the traffic lights run at longer intervals, as they do on weekdays, in buy to cope with the traffic flow. I kid you not, I saw automobiles parked from no less than 50 miles into either direction, packed with whole families and their entire entourage of cousins, pals and so and so forth. absolute amuck. Fryktelig.

Yet, I happened to go back home that weekend and my mother convinced me to go to town to look for a new wintertime jacket, considering that my old ones, though still in good shape, were just too old and needed replacement. So we actually managed to find a vehicle parking spot a little outside of the city center and then hiked straight into the devil’s lair. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was, although my mommy ended up apologizing for dragging me into the chaos. Still, I was successful, dashing out 500 bucks on a Burton Ronin snowboarding jacket, so I considered the day to be a success. but the reason for my lengthy intro was not to rant about the stupidity of sheepish herds of idiots who can’t get their shopping done on the (already extended hours of the) day before, but to tell you about a swiss company called Freitag bags. I happened to see a few samples in the store I got my jacket from, and had to share it with the PurseBlog community.

What struck my eye in the line to the checkout, were these used-up looking wallets that were conveniently placed on the large desk at the registrar. I grabbed one and stared at it, and couldn’t believe my eyes. would someone seriously sell a used coin purse for twenty Euros a pop? There had to be something else behind it. before I could decipher the carton in which the wallets were folded in a row in, the valuable person behind the counter pointed out that all those wallets were made from the rubbered nylon curtains that were once used on trucks (German: “LKWs“) to covered their trailer.

See the grey cover on the truck above? Det er det jeg mener. All the wallets are hand sown in Switzerland, stitched together with all recycled spare parts, such as old bike tire tubes and the pointed out trailer covers, and airbags. Air-whaaa? Damn straight, the new Freitag Mancipation F-Bags use airbags that were once deployed and undoubtedly could not be re-folded into the device that sticks behind the steering wheel and saves lives:

No worries though, as odd as it may seem to be carrying a bag or budget with someone’s face imprints… it’s not. The materials are very carefully cleaned before hand crafted into the large variety of bags that they offer. Don’t like the nearly thousand different bag styles in dozens of shapes? You can build your own. and considering that the materials that are used in production are one of a kind, and considering that the cut patterns on the materials are never in the same place, each and every bag that leaves their production company will be unique. I’ve seen some odd sh*t before, but this absolutely tops it.

Another quick note before wrapping this up. I observed a rather strong smell from the bags and wallets that I saw in the store, a smell that can be characterized by… uhm… new rubber blowup boats. C’mon, everyone of you folks knows what that smells like. The sales person though insured me that the smell does go away in about 2 weeks – it was just residue from the cleansing process they use to recycle the covers before cutting them into the shapes used for the bags.

Did I spark your interest? check out Freitag Bags and let me know in our forum if you decide to get one for yourself. Heck, let me know what you think even if you don’t get one. Verdict: terrific idea, very strong and enduring bags, and an excellent use of recycled materials that wouLD bare forgifter jordsmonnene på en dump – hvis de ikke endte opp med å se bra ut på skulderen.
