Holiday Gift Guide 2012: Classic Louis Vuitton Handbags

Picking out a designer handbag for someone else is hard. Unless you know that person’s style in and out or she’s given you a specific bag to look for, choosing an expensive gift out of thin air can be a daunting task. We’re here to make it just a little bit easier for you with our Holiday Gift Guide 2012, and today’s installment will focus on the safest kind of accessory gift: The Classic Louis Vuitton Bag.

After the jump, we have our picks for seven modern-but-timeless LOUIS VUITTON bags that will dazzle the lucky ladies on your giving list. Or, you know, your favorite blogger. My birthday is Christmas Eve. Just saying.

Father's Day Gift Guide 2012: For the man in your life

So, buying presents for dudes. To be honest, I’m not an expert. I have a brother and a dad, and I’ve bought presents for boyfriends in the past, but normally I’ve gotten them something technology-related and gadget-y, which suited both them and me just fine. I’m guessing that many of you have gone the same route, and that’s a perfectly acceptable choice.

But what if you have a man who’s interested in style, or alternately, you have a man who you’d like to nudge in the direction of stylishness? That’s a little bit more difficult, but to give you a helping hand, I’ve scoured the men’s sections of some of our favorite e-tailers to give you some last-minute gift ideas as part of our Father’s Day Gift Guide 2012. It won’t be ties and socks for Christmas this year, fellas – today is a very special Father’s Day.

dents-suede-lined-leather-driving-gloves

Every man who needs a pair of gloves probably already has a super-functional pair, but what about a pair that’s both incredibly stylish and just about as masculine-cool as it gets? That’s where the Dents Suede-Lined Leather Driving Gloves come in. Don’t we all want to be Steve McQueen?

Sunglasses are hard to choose for others, but this rounded pair of Ray-Ban Aviators is as close to universally flattering as it gets.

Logos are a tough sell for a lot of men, but the dark plaid of this Burberry Crinkled Check Scarf is low-profile enough to pass muster.

Almost all of the young, urban men I know are at least a little bit interested in high-end liquor, and a set of fine barware (and maybe a bottle of Johnnie Walker to go with it) like these Ralph Lauren Equestrian Braid Bar Tools would make a classy addition to either a bachelor pad or a family home.

A lot of men’s wallets are either plain and boring or covered in a logo, and this Gucci Signature Check Wallet strikes a nice balance between the two options.

To me, nothing says “grown man” more effectively than a dude who knows enough about style to own cufflinks and the shirts that require them. The Lanvin Crystal Cuff Links are gorgeous, and they might even be nice enough to make a few French-cuff converts.

Naturally, we can’t make it all the way through this gift guide without a bag. The Dunhill Bladon Travel Bag is classic and masculine without sacrificing aesthetics and luxury; in short, it’s the kind of thing every successful man should carry for a weekend trip.

Choosing a watch for a man can be as difficult and expensive as choosing a handbag for a woman. If you don’t have that kind of money to spend on a man with an interest in fine timepieces, then Watches: The Ultimate Guide by Fabienne Reybaud is a beautiful tome that he can proudly display in his office or home.

Fine. Fine! A tech gift. We understand that these are an easy thing to fall back on. At the very least, the Bill Amberg iPad Case is an extremely sleek, stylish take on the category.

Five reasons everyone should own a Louis Vuitton Speedy

We've already covered why you need to own a Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag, a Louis Vuitton Alma bag and even a Louis Vuitton Artsy bag, but those obviously aren't the only iconic bags that a woman needs in her wardrobe. Your bag collection shouldn’t be missing a Louis Vuitton Speedy, but if it is, we’ve got a few things you might want to consider.

1. In the world of designer handbags, they’re relatively affordable: Despite the fact that the price of a Speedy has gone up by over $100 since I bought mine a few years ago, they’re still something of a steal in the great scheme of designer bags. Speedies start at $665 for the 25 cm monogram version, and for an iconic bag from one of the biggest luxury companies on the planet, you’re not going to find a better deal. Bags with similar storied histories and famous followings will set you back thousands of dollars.

2. Don’t like monogram? There are dozens of other options: Monogram canvas may be the most popular material for this particular bag, but don’t let that fool you in to thinking that it’s the only one. A lot of people aren’t fond of logo prints (I happen to be one of them), and for those people, there are Damier and Epi leather options always available, as well as whatever graced the runways that season. Fall/Winter 2010 will be of particular interest to Speedy lovers – Vuitton showed nothing but dozens of different Speedies in a variety of leathers and exotics. If you want logos, however, Vuitton comes up with a new version practically every season – watercolor, roses, cherries, pop-art pandas, graffiti. I could go on, but you get the idea.

3. Louis Vuitton bags are practically indestructible: This one requires little explanation for a true bag lover – even people that aren’t Vuitton fans know that their bags are historically very well-made, particularly the traditional styles. Also, if your Speedy were to require repair, Vuitton has better service for those kinds of things that almost any other brand I can think of, save for Hermes. As I mentioned previously, however, good luck finding an Hermes bag for less than a grand.

4. The shape can fit in any woman’s wardrobe: Speedies range in size from petite to quite large, and if you’d rather not wear a bag on your arm, Vuitton offers a crossbody strap to keep you hands-free. The brand’s purists will caution against using it, but crossbodies have become so very modern in the past year that wearing a Speedy as a messenger might actually be a good way to update it. Once you’ve decided how to carry it, even the 25cm version has plenty of room for all of your daily essentials.

5. If it was good enough for Audrey Hepburn, it should be good enough for most of us: Grace Kelly may have been a fan of Hermes, but Audrey Hepburn was continually photographed wearing her favorite Louis Vuitton Speedy. Some people may say that the bag is played out, but don’t let people who chase labels dissuade you from enjoying a bag that has an important historical place in the lineage of the luxury handbag. With all of the different size and design permutations, there’s a Speedy out there to suit every style.

Reviews on Louis Vuitton Speedy at www.lvbagsclassic.com

To start off our new category, Purseonals, I decided to review my Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Speedy 30cm. I bought this bag a couple years ago to complete my small Speedy collection of a 35cm, 30cm, and 25cm. The Louis Vuitton Speedy is one of the most iconic handbags in the world and so popular that many of you probably own at least one as well.

Here is how my Speedy scores in our www.lvbagsclassic.com ratings:

Aesthetics

The rounded shape of the Louis Vuitton Speedy is one of the most recognizable shapes in the handbag market. Some people love the shape, some people hate it. I happen to love it. There are two short leather handles on top of the body of the bag.

The Damier Ebene gives a checker board appearance with dark brown and a lighter brown pattern. I loved this pattern when it first came out in the Speedy shape and I still like it now, but I find it a tad masculine. Of course the classic monogram canvas has been used and abused, but I prefer it on the Speedy more than the Damier Ebene.

Usability + Functionality

While the Louis Vuitton Speedy is very spacious because of the shape, that is about as far as we can go with its usability and functionality. I prefer a bag that has an option shoulder strap or can be put over the shoulder, and this Speedy has neither option. The bag must be carried by hand or in the crook of your arm. That leaves me with one less usable hand to get things accomplished and in this day and age, having both hands accessible at all times is important.

The bag loses shape very easily when you hold it, which means it doesn’t have a flat bottom with rounded sides when carried. Anything you put in the bag rolls around at the bottom, which further ruins the shape the more you put in and really makes locating specific items hard. I was carrying this bag last week and for the life of me could never find anything I needed when I needed it. My phone would hide under my wallet, my keys never seemed to jingle in the right place, and my lip gloss was buried underneath all the items I carry.

There is an inside pocket, but let me be honest: it is hard to get to. The flat pocket never gets use unless I am sitting down and open the bag to access it. This bag looks great when it is empty and forced into the ideal shape, but it looses that immediately upon adding any items or carrying it.

Quality + Construction

Many new to the handbag world have a misconception about the classic Monogram or Damier canvas bags from Louis Vuttion. These are not leather, they are coated canvas. The handles and piping are tan vachetta leather, which has held up extremely well for me over time.

While the body of the bag is not leather, there are major pluses about coated canvas. For one, I use this bag in the rain very regularly. In fact, this Speedy is one of my go-to bags in inclement weather because it does not get ruined. I simply wipe the water off the bag and it is just fine. True story: Over the weekend I was at a college football game and took this bag with me. I was sitting down enjoying some chicken fingers and fries when the team mascot began shooting shirts into the crowd. Somehow a shirt was headed my way and I was certain the men around me would jump up and get it. Unfortunately, no one did, and the shirt landed directly in my lap, splashing ketchup and BBQ sauce all over me and my bag. I grabbed a napkin and wiped it right off my Speedy, which left absolutely no stain and was the easiest clean up ever.

Every part that makes this bag is high quality. I have not had a problem with the coated canvas, with the leather, with the hardware/zipper, ever. In fact, as you can tell from these photos, this bag is in amazing shape and I have owned it over 3 years.

Another plus is the weight of the bag. This bag is EXTREMELY lightweight, which makes it much more pleasant to carry.

Value

The price of Louis Vuitton bags, like all other luxury designers, has increased with time. Louis Vuitton has price hikes yearly and this bag is now being sold for $775. For this price you can buy two genuine leather bags from a contemporary designer, but in the premiere handbag market, $775 seems par for the course.(Tips: If you cannot afford the pricy tags at Louis Vuitton shop, www.lvbagsclassic.com would be your perfect choice.)

Taking materials used and brand name into account, I still find this bag overpriced for what you get.

Staying Power

The Louis Vuitton Speedy will always be iconic, ALWAYS. It depends on personal preference for the version of the Speedy you like. I find the Damier Ebene canvas to not be as iconic as the classic Monogram canvas.

Buy Authentic Louis Vuitton Damier Canvas Speedy at www.lvbagsclassic.com

Ok so I realize that I have been MIA for a while. My apologies. Work was taking over my life but now I won’t let it. To start off on the right foot with my paying more attention to the site www.lvbagsclassic.com, comes a purchase of a new bag. Yes, I had to do it. Most and many are in the Louis Vuitton Speedy.

Remember back in grade school when everyone got a Trapper-Keeper and you didn’t have a new hip one… well that is how left out I felt from the coveted LV Speedy. The Speedy boasts tons of exposure and is one of the most recognizable styles from LV. Right now, the Damier canvas Speedy’s(including Damier Ebene Canvas and Damier Azur Canvas) are in stock and I just clicked on submit for my 30!!!

The Louis Vuitton Damier Canvas Speedy is trimmed in chocolate leather which flows perfectly with the Damier canvas. There is something about the Damier canvas that I love- very simple, but different in a way. The bag closes with a zip top and has a gold padlock. On the inside you will find red textile lining with a patch pocket to store some goodies. Available through Louis Vuitton Speedy 30.
