mini lins

i have very conflicting feelings about lv. part of me thinks lv is way overexposed and the fact that most people IN THIS WORLD owns a piece of it unfortunately takes away from the uniqueness of this design house. it’s not just a matter of “exclusivity,” but the idea that you can walk around anywhere and everywhere and see people toting around the same bag really makes me cringe. but then again, every once in a while, lv throws something hot out which makes me look twice.

anyways, this is the louis vuitton monogram mini lin saumur. i saw this young asian girl rocking it at a forever 30 store (hahhaha). when i saw it, i thought wow, that’s really cute. i really liked the chocolate background because it reminded me of a smooth chocolate bar. the color is oh so rich! it looked different from their other designs so i liked it. i purse stalked her for a bit and thought it was hot. i also thought the monogram lv graphics were small enough so it added to the design of the bag rather than overwhelmed it. i really dig chocolate backgrounds, hence the harajuku lovers tote. must be my sweet tooth influencing my bag taste.

this bag is a small messenger bag which brings it to the casual side of a bag life. i think it would make a good replacement for my black lesportsac nylon canvas bag if i ever have any intentions of upgrading. unfortunately, the price for this saumur is outrageous! it’s not even leather for gosh sakes! it is made of cotton and canvas with bits of leather trimming. it’s like their denim line…i CANNOT justify paying outrageous prices for cotton. i don’t care WHO designs it.

i can’t quite make up my mind whether i love lv or i’m annoyed by it. maybe it depends on the bag and who rocks it…but the mini lin design i like. this bag would make a GREAT casual bag if the price wasn't so out of control!
