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!
