Bags. @ 7:59 PM


I'd probably try to find a way to have sex with this bag if I could get close enough to it.

But then again, I find myself "ooo"ing over most of Louis Vuitton's Damier collection.  They've got a new one called Berkeley that I think is pretty gorgeous, too.

One thing I definitely like about Louis Vuitton is that they seem to actually care about customer service, at least to some extent.  Now, granted, I've never actually bought directly from LV, but I've perused their website pretty extensively.  They seem to care that you get the item you want, that the product is free of defects, and that you're happy with it.  The same can't be said for most high end designers, or low-end designers for that matter, including (especially) Abercrombie.  Maybe caring that the customer is happy with their merchandise seems unfashionable to some.

Another seductive bag of note comes from our favorite Italian designer, Prada.  This bag, mysteriously called 
"BN1760 UWC F0002" is probably my favorite bag of theirs, and I can feel its lewd attempts to seduce me.  It's working.  It has a bigger twin version with the same "Prada" stamp on the front of the bag.  Oddly enough, I think that's my favorite part.  Prada, 
unfortunately, doesn't ship to the US via their online store.  You have to go to someplace like New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, or Houston to buy directly from one of their boutiques.  Or have a friend in Europe who will act as your middle-person...and then hope your delicious bag doesn't get seized by customs thugs once it reaches American soil.

My head spins just imagining what these could do for a fall or winter look.
