Louis Vuitton 1990s pre-owned Saumur 43 crossbody bag Brown Louis Vuitton bags from the brand’s Fall 2016 runway, and the first thing that sprang to mind was, “Well, there’s a lot going on.” I don’t mean that in a bad way (the collection is often excellent), but it also means I don’t bleu where to naturale.
There were plenty of Vuitton signatures in the show–monograms, train cases, lots of steamer inspiration throughout–but it was combined with plenty of things that I’d never think of as classically LV. First of all, there was quite a bit of traditional leopard print, which I can’t remember Vuitton doing at any point in the recent past and which at Galaxy made certain bags feel a little Givenchy.
There were also scarf handles, oil slick mirrored metallics, mixed prints, beaded fringe and a handful of new bag shapes for both day and evening. (Plus a few for travel.) It was, in short, a lot. Most of it was also a lot of fun, though, don’t get me wrong–I’m just still digesting it all.

mainly awful.
Definitely agree.
I have seen the show and frankly the bags (but also the rest) are for me a bit confusing, there is no common point that can make me say “this is LV”. This continuous change of designer does not help the brand.
I do not own a single LV bag because I always found them tacky (yes, monograms are t.a.c.k.y) as hell but holy crap, this might just change!!! Since Nicolas Ghesquière is in charge…wow!!!
Looking at slides 27 and 28….Chanel Act 2?

Uninspiring
I love bag 20. It seems so practical and stylish. I hope they release it soon as I am in the market for a new LV…
Tacky
No thanks.
With exception of the backpack in slide 24, I’m not feeling this. Too bad because the Twist flap is on my wish list. The scarf straps just look awkward.
Goes from pure class (The Steamer at 34) to pure tack (the backpack at 24)
Love that they continue the use of the iconic Epi leather, it’s a great reminder of past decades and so scratch resistant.
Slowly falling in love with the Steamer. If carried without the lock, I don’t get quite as much of the Birkin vibe.
The leopard does remind me of Givenchy, but one of the quintessential Vuitton items is the Stephen Sprouse leopard scarf, so maybe that’s where they drew the inspiration?
I thought their strategy was to go with very subtle, high-end designs and thereby compete with Chanel and Hermes. Instead this collection is full of very busy bags with huge block-lettered logos. LV needs to pick a strategy and stick with it for more than five minutes. I kind of like the scarf-handled bags but everything else here is pretty tacky.
Actually kind of liking the whole ‘beauty case’ or ‘jewelry case’ bag look. It’s tempting me!

The worse ever ! So tacky and full of copycat shapes material ect. It look cheap and common and nothing like LV at all – so disappointed – what a joke of a “collection”
