The new bags of the Louis Vuitton Fall Winter 2010-2011 collection has been presented and, in this occasion, Marc Jacobs has applied a glamorous Viennese style with military but sophisticated touches. We can say they are bags with a little eclectic design but also with Louis Vuitton’s “savoir faire”.
At the moment, we have information on three lines, the first one corresponds to the so-called Shako line. This line is comprised by three models: Shako Sac Voyaje is the model that is more similar to a travel bag; regarding its shape, it’s notable the influence of the Keepall (a classic of the Louis Vuitton travel bag collection). Besides, we have the Shako Cabas XXL bag which is a maxi-large and elegant masculine item with shoulder strip and two comfortable handles. And thirdly, the more comfortable option: Shako Cabas Bandoliere, which is a shoulder bag (we can use it as a tote, too).
Prices for the Shako line are: 4,000 Euros for the Shako Sac Voyaje (approx. US$ 5,200); 2,200 Euros for the Shako Cabas XXL (approx. US$ 2,859); and 3,100 Euros for the Shako Cabas Bandoliere bag (approx. US$ 4,030). Obviously, they are high-quality products but with some common characteristics such as their color (by the way, that color has been denominated as “Reglisse”).
Briska is the name of the second bags line. Maybe, it is the most elegant line of this collection: The formality of the models of this line is a remarkable feature. Briska Cabas is, strictly speaking, a tote which is perfect for carrying documents and laptops; the price is close to 3,150 Euros (approx. US$ 4,100). On the other hand, we have a travel bag called Briska Messenger GM; we can say it is a sort of very comfortable shoulder bag to travel; other remarkable features are its huge leather flap and its cross strap to carry it on a shoulder. At the moment, we don’t know the price.
Lastly, the most classic Louis Vuitton line is the Monogram (with the famous material). In this case, a well-made knapsack has been designed by using the traditional Louis Vuitton monogram fabric, which is a symbol of quality and distinction with the logo of the French fashion house; the name of the knapsack is Monogram Macassar Sac-a-Dos, the price is close to 2,000 Euros (approx. US$ 2,600) and the bag comes with two straps (so you can carry it on your back) and a double zipper configuration. Another option is a product similar to other bags we have seen in the past: The Monogram Macassar Messenger G; the price is close to 2,500 Euros (approx. US$ 3,250).
