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.

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.

While her old rival Lindsay Lohan stews in rehab, squeaky-clean Hilary Duff is traveling in style. The Duffster showed off one stylin’ carry-on…the Louis Vuitton Damier Azur. This blue and white checkerboard print has a younger appeal than the Louis Vuitton monogram handbags, and its roomy shape makes it a great option when you need to lug lots of stuff (like on a plane). So what if it doesn’t really match Hilary’s outfit?

Although the Harajuku Lovers Handbag Line does not scream out high fashion and luxurious, I figure that it’s luxurious enough if eLuxury is featuring it. The Harajuku Lovers Line is about quirky, bold and colorful images that are playful, yet don’t make you feel as though you are wearing a bag for a fashion forward 10 year old. Featured here is their Expensive Taste Candy Tote. Drawing inspiration from Louis Vuitton’s Signature Monogram Print, the Candy Tote is tame compared to the other designs offered. Made of woven canvas, it features nylon handles, two exterior patch pockets and an interior zippered pocket for your smaller items. Bag dimensions: 14″ x 13″ x 6″. Shoulder drop: 8.75″. Price: $68.
