Guide To Louis Vuitton Handbags

The craftsmanship of an authentic Louis Vuitton handbag helps to justify its expense.  To this day, every Louis Vuitton purse is made by hand, start to finish.   Since the mid 19th century, this French leather master has created leather goods that consistently rank among the most desirable of luxury accessories.  

Vuitton handbags are available in a number of classic, practical styles.  Traditional pocketbooks--some small as a wallet--are available.  You can also choose from clutches, classic handbags, and even boho chic shoulder bags, each with its own unique Vuitton twist.  Two of the most popular bags this season are the "Eliza," inspired by Audrey Hepburn, and the modern yet ancient "bucket," seen everywhere from Harrods to Hong Kong.
 
In addition to the new designs just off the runways, fashionistas can choose from nearly a dozen patterns and materials.  The classic Monogram Canvas design is available in the classic brown and gold leather, in multicolored leather (referred to as Multicolore) and in denim, too.   The motif is available in miniature in bags from the appropriately named "Monogram Mini" line.  For a more edgy take on the classic, consider purses featuring the the "Monogram Perforation" pattern.

Of course, not all Louis Vuitton bags advertise themselves so boldly.  If you're interested in the quality of a Vuitton bag but don't feel like advertising for the company, you're in luck.  The Vuitton Suhali bags display gleaming brass hardware and shapes evocative of turn-of-the-century luggage and steamer trunks.  The Vuitton Epi bags appear understated and subtle, but with their distinctive leather, they are instantly recognizable as Vuitton classics.
