What I Saw Today?

While I was doing my routine^^, I came across What I Saw Today blog. His blog is mainly about his love of illustration to record what he sees around him on the streets of New York. It sort of reminded me of Satorialist. I personally think Satorialist is better though but anyway it is quite interesting and you guys should check it out! ^^

Damier Graphite- Renzo and Jorn are Launched!

Louis Vuitton is now officially launched Damier Graphite Renzo and Jorn after the long wait!

Renzo, a city bag that has similar shape as other Louis Vuitton messenger bags i.e. Monogram Abbesses and Damier Bastille. However, it should be noted that Renzo is narrower than the other two, but still give you enough room to put files and it surely suits everyday use.

Size: 3.5" x 13.4" x 14.5".Jorn, one of the eye candy bag that is nearly identical (in term of its size and its look) to the "limited edition Damier Graphite Porte-document (briefcase) bag".However, Jorn comes with an adjustable shoulder strap and the bag is slightly shorter than the limited edition's. As it comes with a strap, this could give it more pratical to use.

Size: 4.7" x 11.4" x 16.9"

Gents, if you are interested in these elegance and classic looking bags, act quick as these bags are the "wanted" items. ^^

Sean Connery- The Next Face of Louis Vuitton?

WWD reports that Sean Connery may be tapped as the next face for Vuitton campaigns. "Louis Vuitton, which has featured Mikhail Gorbachev, Keith Richards and Francis Ford Coppola in its “core values” advertising campaign, has landed another surprising agent for its message. Rumor has it Sean Connery, the original James Bond, has posed for Annie Leibovitz’s camera, just in time for the “Quantum of Solace” frenzy."

I am so looking forward for the coming runway show, which is scheduled at 2:30pm local time. More info after the jump! ^^

LVoe to LVaddicted- LVoe for ICare

My inbox has a new email from one of the true Louis Vuitton collector, Chris from the United States! Here is what he wrote:

Message from Chris:

I am a Louis Vuitton collector from the United States. I am interested in the Icare since it'd house my MacBook Pro (I have the Keepall 50 w/ strap, a waller, the checkbook holder and Bosphore GM Messenger in Monogram) as I travel a lot as a performer, and am wondering about the correct pronounciation?

Keep up the great work!
Chris

Message from Louis Vuitton Addicted:

Hi Chris,

Thank you very much for your email. It is very nice to know my readers are from around the world^^

Icare is definately a great choice to store your MacBook Pro! The bag is roomy (has 2 big compartments inside with another zippered pocket outside) which is surely enough for laptops and files. It really suits for people who travel alot^^ You will definately love it. Regarding the correct pronounciation, it is I-care. I know it sounds funny and more simple than we thought. If you are worried that the SA at the botique has no idea of what we are talking about, you can give them the product ID. The Monogram Icare is M23252 and Damier Icare is N23252.

I hope you will continue enjoying my blog and we love to see your collection and your new Icare ;)

Have a great day!

Thank you!!
Vicky from germany

Answers:
Hi Vicky,
Thank you for your email. It is nice to hear from you! Regarding to your question about Odeon, they are expected to be released in October 2008(estimated to be at the begining of October).
They are surely a nice and LVoely bag and here is the tentative price:

Apparently, GM will be the only size that comes with handles. I hope this gives you some info about Odeon. Are you planing to get one? I would love to hear from you and it would be great if you can share us a pic of your Odeon when you purchased it :)

Thank you and have a great day!

LVoe to LVaddicted- LVoe from Tony

I just got a message from Tony, who is a big fan of my blog and have the same taste as me! ^^. Here is what he wrote:

Message from Tony:

Hi there,You and I have the exact same taste. I am having the same dilemma as you and want those two exact items. My problem, besides trying to figure out whether to save money for bags is that I don't know how often I would wear either item. I mean, obviously I would love to wear them both all the time but its one of those things where, I know that I will hardly wear either so maybe I should just save my money and buy a siwa briefcase or something. Let me know what you get and I am a big fan of your blog.

Thank you for visiting my blog! I am glad that you are a big fan of my blog ^^ I hope you and all of my LVoely readers will continue to enjoy this blog. Let's get addicted!..lol

Tony, I totally agree with you that it is not worth to buy something that is nice but after purchased, it will end up in the drawer. For me, I wear tie to my work and i LVoe wearing necklace. So I can see myself wearing them alot ;) (yepp..I have alot of excuses ^^)

I would definately support you to purchase Siwa briefcase. It is something that you LVoe and you can use them often. I have seen this during my last trip to the botique and I Lvoe it! I decided not to get it though coz my attention was to Damier Graphite. :P We will look forward to see your Siwa pics once you purchased^^

About what I am getting, I will reveal those soon..hehe..

Thank you Tony! Visit my blog often.
