The new launch from Louis Vuitton – the W bag – is, simply put, a stunner. You’ll appreciate the name ‘W’, when you have a look at its basic structure:
I just love the blend of the monogram canvas with leather – it morphs into something so magical. The W comes in 2 sizes – PM and GM, the latter being larger. The left and right sides of the ‘W’ can be folded inside to give a more compact look:
Notice how the letters and symbols are raised over the surface of the bag, in the above version. This particular one has the right amount of yellow to brighten up a blue Monday morning. There are the following variations as well:
If you look close enough, the outline of the bag falls into the shape of a trapezium. There have been other bags of this shape (in decreasing order of side flap size):
Celine Trapeze (this seems to be the most popular of the lot):
Valentino Rockstud:
Botkier Legacy Satchel:
Reed Krakoff Atlantique:
Alexander Wang Pelican Satchel:
Can we see something similar in the Indian bag-scape as well – my pick of able designers would be Hidesign and Baggit.
My favourite remains the LV W. What about yours? Do you give a thumbs-up to the trapeze clan?
