Leighton’s dress may look backwards to me… but sweet choice in bags! Our Gossip Girl showed up at a special screening of her costar Sebastian Stan’s new film Spread in East Hampton, New York carrying a piece from one of my favorite lines… the Slim Suede Coal clutch from Sofia Coppola’s Louis Vuitton collection. I totally love this piece with the dark suede and contrasting gold lambskin trim.
I don’t know about you, but I’m excited for the March release of the SC from Sofia Coppola’s collaboration with Louis Vuitton.
The SC bag is Sofia’s modified Speedy. She’s added a shoulder strap, and the handle has a longer drop but what I like is the extended zipper. We often get feedback that the Speedy is difficult to get in and out of- because of the short zipper. It also has a cell pocket, and a slot for a mirror and credit cards.
I love these new pics… and be sure to read the following for more detailed information and pics:

When Sofia Coppola went to design the bag she was doing for Louis Vuitton- she just went for what she loved in a bag- but couldn’t find. A simple bag- that wasn’t too slouchy or structured… in colors other than black. She went through a bunch of sketches before finally coming up with the “SC”… basically revisiting the traditional Louis Vuitton Keepall- but in a smaller day bag size.
She also came up with this cute little envelope style evening bag! Apparently, she had so much fun with the whole thing, she’s already thinking of doing a smaller version of the SC.
What do you think of Sofia’s creation?
Well, here’s the first glimpse of Sofia Coppola’s Louis Vuitton “SC” bag.
From a great article today from IHT:
“Coppola was inspired by a trip to Louis Vuitton’s original home in Asnières, on the outskirts of Paris. Working with the special order department, she took up the challenge of designing ‘the perfect bag that doesn’t exist.’”
“Coppola wanted a day bag that was “chic, discreet and lightweight and that isn’t enormous,” adding that “it is hard to find bag without a lot of hardware.” She opens the roomy bag (selling in the monogram version at €1,600, or about $2,190), showing how there is an open pocket enabling her to grab her telephone. The evening clutch (€800), with its pochette containing a mirror, is “a thing I wanted for myself.”
The article also says that they decided on calling the bag SC, partially because it was hard to find a name that wasn’t registered. There was already a “Sofia” Marc Jacobs bag.
Anyway, excited to see it IRL and in monogram. It looks big, and roomy- soft and versatile. I like a nice big simple bag.
