hmmm... looks like a customized Keepall Bandoulière to me. i've always imagined she would design a collection that would be practical, simple and chic just like her. and by the looks of it, it can even be unisex.
here's an excerpt of the article by the venerable Suzy Menkes:
"Coppola was inspired by a trip to Louis Vuitton's original home in Asnières, on the outskirts of Paris. Working with the special order department, she took up the challenge of designing "the perfect bag that doesn't exist." Coppola wanted a day bag that was "chic, discreet and lightweight and that isn't enormous," adding that "it is hard to find bag without a lot of hardware." She opens the roomy bag (selling in the monogram version* at €1,600, or about $2,190), showing how there is an open pocket enabling her to grab her telephone. The evening clutch (€800), with its pochette containing a mirror, is "a thing I wanted for myself."
*seems like the calfskin version pictured is Sofia's personal one-off special order. for everybody else it will be in Monogram canvas. i could be wrong though. but its still not bad methinks.

the collection will be launched on 5 December in Tokyo, then the rest of the world in March 2009. im really looking forward to seeing this IRL.
