new LV trinket

lately i've been wearing this charm necklace almost everyday:



it is from the current men's Spring/Summer '06 runway collection.




that odd-looking charm is a silvered coral branch and the other is an LV-inscribed rare ebony pendant. i first saw pictures of this from the "look book" way back in January. i immediately asked to be put on the waitlist. disappointingly, i missed-out. fast forward a few months later while the parentals were in Vienna attending a conference. i asked mum to keep her eyes peeled for this necklace just in case they still have them over there. and just my luck they did!


YAY for J!!!!



PS: it goes very well with my tiger's eye ring no?


(from the men's F/W'05 collection)



i can't wait for summer!

Feature Bag #3: Ouvea Carryall

its been a while since i did one so today i present to you....

my new Ouvea Carryall

isn't it a beauty? my newest and least conservative piece to date. sorry kids, daddy's got a new no.1 fave. i instantly fell in love with LV's new chain pattern since i first saw photos from the Spring '06 Men's show.

the Carryall is the latest soft-sided luggage they released this Spring. it is also available in luxurious Tobago leather and classic Monogram canvas. but this new model combined with the rather obscure Ouvea canvas = INSTANT HIT (in my books anyway). this strictly limited Ouvea line is constructed from a whipcord-like canvas with a Monogram chain jacquard pattern and tanned leather handles and trim. and like my Keepall50, i also had my first inital heat-stamped on the luggage tag:

it's just the perfect everyday bag when i need to lugg around a pile of texts and my tiny Powerbook. i still can't get over how beautiful the chain pattern is. it is very different from the usual LV monogram and i really like the retro feel of it too. a guaranteed head-turner.

I LOVE IT!

Wow.. Very impressive collection!
I found your blog through your livejournal (which I found through the louis_vuitton community). I've gotta say you are one lucky man. I wish my husband approved of LV. But then, we'd have to have a massive bank loan approved ;P
Ah well, I can live vicariously through your blog. :)
