Of Motorcycles and Monogram Man Bags

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Ah, love this!  Cause I love a guy who totally commits to his murse loving ways!  This is Gábor Talmácsi, the Hungarian 2007 250cc Motorcycle World Champion… and he’s way in touch with his man bag love!  Check the quote:

“I adore bags. When I see one fits me, I have to buy it without any hesitation. Usually I wear a ’shoulder’ bag as I don’t like have anything in my pockets. My mania has been noticed by the biggest company in bags as I got a beautiful bag from Louis Vuitton.”

Interesting, as he’s kind of insinuating that Louis Vuitton gifted him a bag- and their gifting policy is pretty hush, hush!  Still… he’s loving his Louis Vuitton Monogram Beaubourg.

Apparently, the HeStyle blogger who posted this quote finds the Beaubourg to be too feminine for a man to pull off.  I don’t see that at all, and think the Louis Vuitton Beaubourg is like a lot of Hollywood- it goes both ways!  What do you think?

Did you know? The history behind the Louis Vuitton Striped Tanger Sac Plat?

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Louis Vuitton Tanger Sac Plat

As you well know- I love the history and meaning behind so much of what comes out of Louis Vuitton. This is what I find timeless about the brand in general.

I’d been wanting to write about the history about the striped Tanger- and in my search for images actually found another great blog entry on the same subject in the Excess Baggage blog by Deluxe Duck… be sure to check it out!

Louis Vuitton Vintage Steamer
(The personal bag of Gaston-Louis Vuitton, 1901 from Pasol’s, Louis Vuitton)

Louis Vuitton Vintage Keepall
(An early prototype of the Keepall- 1930, again with Gaston’s initial, from Pasol’s, Louis Vuitton)

The Louis Vutton striped Tanger Sac Plat borrows it’s central, geometric “V” initial from Gaston’s early monogram. It has the red center on the V on a white background. Mini Lin Tanger Sac Plat bags (Ebene and Camel) will borrow the blue center, with light blue- not white.

Louis Vuitton Vintage Trunk Striped liniing
(from eBay seller anythingluxury’s vintage Louis Vuitton approx 1885 trunk)

Louis Vuitton striped trunk tanger lining

The unique striped fabric that makes up the exterior of this particular Sac Plat is reminiscent of early trunk lining. (You’ll find similar striped linings in the Sac Trianon line- and including the Trianon Neverfull.

The striped Tanger Sac Plat is no longer available in stores. It was a S/S 2005 men’s bag- so they’re hard to get your hands on. Lucky for you, we happen to have one of these amazing limited edition pieces on eBay right now!

Check out our pre-owned authentic Louis Vuitton striped Tanger Sac Plat. Remember- if you win it and mention that you saw it on my blog- you get free shipping!

Hey, Men: Admit it, you need a MURSE!

Monday, January 28th, 2008

I’m not exaggerating here- my husband’s use of his pants pocket as a literal attached pocketbook (is this where the word came from?) can be blamed for numerous cracked palm pilot screens, lost cell phones and iPods, unbelievable amouts of change in the couch cushions, and fairly violent pen explosions (to name but a few issues).

I thought these videos address this probem quite well:

If you’re in the market- we have a few sweet pre-owned authentic Louis Vuitton Man Bags right now…

The Louis Vuitton Damier Geronimos… a really cool sling/waist style:

This is a really cool one. The Louis Vuitton Cabas Innsbruck. It’s got a great, retro style.

And finally, the Louis Vuitton Taiga leather Cassiar Backpack. It’s always nice to find a good, classy backpack style. Handy- but a good looking piece!

Gaga for Graphite…

Friday, January 18th, 2008

OK, loving the Graphite Damier unveiled at Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2008 men’s show Thursday.  This was long past do…

and what about the Damier PYTHON hardcases?  I mean- I know these were released at the men’s show- and really, LV has a way with manbags… but, I would have no problem traveling with the Graphite Cruiser- Reporter, or any of the hardcases, for sure.

But what I REALLY wanted to see was the Graphite Damier Yamaha Grand Piano that was playing for the show.  If anyone got a picture- please send it over!!!
