Louis Vuitton Love

Over the years I've dabbled in handbags from other designers, but none has captured my heart and held my attention like Louis Vuitton. I received this new piece of literature from them, entitled Histoire(s), a couple of weeks ago and have been captivated all over again by the creative and gorgeous photography it contains. That's part of my LV love, the fact that it symbolizes something BIGGER to me. I might just be carrying my bag to Kroger and to the sweaty cheerleading gym, but I COULD be carrying it ANYWHERE. It's fab enough to circle the globe and special enough to deserve to! ;)

Here are a few of the pages in Histoires that I love. There is a whole series of photographs where they show what would be hypothetically contained in a piece of LV luggage based on a specific time in history. There's another section that shows unique custom pieces like the trunk-into-cot/shower/desk. SO practical and handy, am I right?? Haha!

I've always had a weakness for the specialty collections that LV has done with guest designers or just the oddball pieces that have caught my attention. I unpacked some dinosaurs to show you a few of my favorites in my collection, or my "archives," as I refer to it when describing these purchases as investments that my girls will be thrilled to inherit someday! Haha!
