Louis Vuitton Galliera Riviera - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

VivaLaJuicy · November 8th, 2008, 12:00 AM

Attention Louis Vuitton fanatics, there’s a new limited edition piece out in the market (cruise 2009) and wow is she pretty! I remember when I first laid eyes on the gorgeous French Riviera scene projected in the eyes of Louis Vuitton. They (three different color schemes) were colorful, pleasant, and detailed on Vuitton’s beautiful silk scarves. These scarves were released during the Summer of this year, and of course they sold out quick. So we can finally say that the handbag caught up! The Riviera scene in purples, reds, and ivory is printed among Vuitton’s popular Galliera shoulder bag this time around. Cotton canvas instead of coated canvas lines the exterior of this Galliera and a surprising fifteen layers of dyed cotton overlap and form the image projected on the body of the bag. Gold hardware including the stunning Louis Vuitton Inventeur plague can be found decoring this piece, and 19.3” x 13.4” x 8” happens to be the dimensions of this large bag. It’s no surprise that limited edition Vuitton’s don’t come cheap, as this piece carries a price tag reading $1,940. If you’ve got the cash, you can purchase this work of art over at eLUXURY!

Gorgeous colors! But I think I would like this more on a scarf than a handbag.

VivaLaJuicy · November 12th, 2008, 10:20 PM

^^^ Yeah, I agree...

vuittongirlxoxo · November 13th, 2008, 11:54 AM

I agree with you guys, it would look better printed on a scarf.

tacuddy · November 13th, 2008, 12:52 PM

I agree, that is not a print that should be on a bag.

juicyholicmum · November 13th, 2008, 02:48 PM

i still like the classic LV's...

IntheBlack · November 13th, 2008, 03:27 PM

I think its Gorgeous!..

I can just see all the summer dresses it can go with, typically I have to wear a really colorful dress with a plain bag..

But now That purse is fire.

Omg can you imagine how many different color dresses and shoes would make that purse pop!

Thanks for the pics

Nice bag, but I think I like it as a scarf better.

navymom · November 13th, 2008, 06:39 PM

I'll pass on this. (Find something positive to say) Ummmm, I like the shape of the bag.

Jiezell · November 13th, 2008, 07:11 PM

I saw this on the LV site and didn't think it was cute. ITA with you girls though, it would look better as a scarf.

Jess · November 13th, 2008, 07:23 PM

I hate the print on a BAG.

lrc123 · November 13th, 2008, 07:44 PM

I agree with everyone else, it would look better as a scarf. I can just see this wrapped around an elegant older ladies neck adding a nice pop of color to an otherwise subdued ensemble.

Arianne12 · November 13th, 2008, 07:57 PM

I like the colours.

*LA* · November 26th, 2008, 01:12 PM

I have this bag the colours are beautiful in real life, before I saw it I was really worried the pattern might be a little too much with all the colours but it works really well, it is a really big bag but that's good for me I always carry a load of stuff

linvline · November 26th, 2008, 01:21 PM
