My Louis Vuitton Obsession!
I know this site was ONLY intended for designer shoes but due to my LV obsession, I can’t control my urge for designer handbags.

The Louis Vuitton designer, Marc Jacobs is truly a genius that flows against the tide of fashion when it comes to designer handbags. He knows how to develop something unique and different from other designers from old classic styles into fresh and outrageously chic.
With the handbags, he gave birth and presented the classic Noe and Alma bags in incredibly fabulous designs. The Monogram Double Jeu means “Double Game,” consist of a Neo Noe and a Neo Alma.
In my own understanding with this bag, I am assuming the name “double” signifies to the bag-to-bag relationship. After I saw the bag in pictures, my mind put crazy notions at rest. It consist of an inner bag that has chain handles and can be detachable.
The fabric of the interior bag has an Epi -like weave and it features a brass “Inventeur” plaque for an optional use of bag. It can be carried separately.
The actual Noé and Alma was located and considered as the outer bag. It has leather straps for easy carrying. They are expected to be released sometime in September this year. Read more »

His version of the trench coats is very appealing to men ages 18 to 49. It was cut a little bit shorter and made some wider lapels which look very trendy and stylish ever. The trench coats are very different from your father’s old trench coats.
Since this is Salvatore Ferragamo, the label is not only popular to clothing lines but on the shoes as well. This stuff also plays a very important part in our fashion life.
