Designers Handbags

The long anticipated arrival of the latest Louis Vuitton Mahina has come to an end! This beauty can now be discovered on the virtual shelf of eluxury where it retails for (*drumroll*) a whopping $3,750.

“Name is inspired by the crescents and phases of the moon; in Polynesian culture, Mahina is a lunar deity.”

The bag comes dressed in a meticulous and precise perforated flower and LV monogram pattern fabric with contrast topstitching and double rolled leather handle straps that are long enough to carry over the shoulder or on your forearm. This bag also features a hook closure secured by a flap and clasp with the Louis Vuitton signature, an internal zippered pocket and a D-ring for attaching a pouch or key holder (which you will need if you go with the xxl), and side buckles for adjusting the size and bottom studs for protection. Measurements of the xxl Mahina Handbag are 32.3″ x 16.5″ x 11.4″

Named after a candy from Carpentras, Louis Vuitton’s Berlingot is a fun and original key holder that can also be used as a change purse or bag charm. So for those days when you feel like going purse-less, just stuff this little guy up with your cards, a couple dollars, and lipgloss and you will be set. Or, if you are toting along a big bag then just clip it on the D-ring and tada, your necessities will be within reach.

This little designer mini purse comes dressed in the signature vibrant Monogram Multicolore (creation of Takashi Murakami for Louis Vuitton) body, with shiny golden brass hardware, natural cowhide, and signature yellow topstitching.

Putting a great spin on their traditional look, Burberry offers up a foolproof bag that’s equal parts glamorous and practical. The Burberry Heather Tote is subtly eyecatching, boasting a sophisticated gold and brown color scheme and soft, mesh leather. This is a smart choice if you love check prints but aren’t into the classic Burberry design; this style is confident and sharp, yet still toned down enough (surprising, given its metallic color) to be appropriate for day wear. Love it! Available for $3295 at Nordstrom.

Churning out excess like only Louis Vuitton can, the line’s new Shearling Storm bag is a winter-perfect carryall that has me swooning. It’s not my usual type of purse at all, but somehow the allure of patent leather, shearling trim and the black, brown and cream color combination is too irresistible for words. It’s not going win any beauty pageants anytime soon – that’s obvious because this is definitely an acquired taste – but for anyone who loves all-out glamorous handbags with a penchant for standing up to the season’s harshest elements, this is for you. Grab it for $3850 by calling 1-888-VUITTON.

What does this bag remind you of? It may look like shiny green bubble wrap, but it is actually quilted black patent leather. I like the size and shape, but I just can’t get past the bubbly pattern. Maybe it’s just a bad photo. The front zipper detail looks good, but is it just for looks are can you actually store things in there? It has a zip top closure and rather chunky gold-tone hardware, including over-sized protective feet. Lined in black twill, the bag measures 12½ high by 16″ wide by 5″ deep and has 7½” strap drop. $395.
