Backpacks deluxe

I must admit that this is the most reinvented bag of the season.
Chanel took it to the limit and made it so stylish and to die for!
Tommy Hilfiger made it so wearable and sporty.

No doubt that the backpacks are one of the major trends of the moment.
You no longer have to wear it only with sporty looks but you can accessorize it with all your dressing styles!

LV Luggage

All the fashionistas know what we are talking about when it comes to travel in style.
Who doesn’t want a piece of LV luggage to carry on in their travels?

The short story:

In the 1830s, a provincial young Frenchman named Louis Vuitton traveled — on foot — from his hometown to Paris, more than 400 km away.
One of the odd jobs he struck up in Paris was as an apprentice layetier, a kind of manservant who would pack trunks for well-to-do travelers.
Vuitton must have really known how to pack a trunk, because he soon caught the attention of Napoleon III, who hired him to be layetier to his wife, Empress Eugénie.
His tenure and skill in this field gave Vuitton considerable expertise in travelers’ needs. In 1854 he opened his own trunk-making firm in Paris. His first trunks were lightweight and airtight, with flat tops to facilitate stacking. They were wooden frames covered in gray “Trianon” canvas.
Louis Vuitton trunks were soon very popular and, like today, oft-copied. The company had to keep changing its signature pattern due to copycats. The trademark brown and beige stripes debuted in 1876; twenty years later, the “Monogram” pattern was unveiled, with that familiar “LV” monogram plus four-lobed flowers ‘borrowed’ from the Japanese visual culture that was so fashionable in the late-19th century.
By 1913, the Louis Vuitton store on the Champs-Elysées in Paris was the largest travel-goods store in the world.

The Celine luggage tote

20250

The bag was launched din 2010 and since then it became the IT bag of the following years together with the other iconic bag of the house, the Paddington bag.

The designer, Phoebe Philo, has the knack of reviving dying labels and making it cool and hip and for sure she did a great job with Celine bags.

The Luggage Totes come in an ever-expanding variety of color and finish combinations, but the default Luggage Tote for most celebs seems to be a solid black bag, or a solid navy blue or beige bag.

Featuring one zipper closure as a decoration in the front, this quintessential and classic bag was shaped as a shopping tote for day to night use, large bag capacity and sturdy leather further increases its versatility.

This stylish Luggage Tote comes in five sizes and a range of combinations and colors: suede and calf, crocodile and calf, or just good old calf skin.

3.1 Philip Lim Pashli bag

Continuing with my search for great bags, I remembered one of my last years wishes- Philip Lim  Pashli Satchel- this bag was launched in 2011 f/w collection and is still under the fashion radars.

125524-scale-409

It is a gorgeous all leather bag that comes with short handles, expandable sides,
a front flap that ends in a gold-tone clasp and a perfect palette of leathers.

The Pashli was initially inspired by the pragmatic design of motorcycle bags, where every detail served a function.

“She is a working girl, she is real she wears
things from day to night from day to day. For me it is really important for the
bag to work for the wearer and not the other way round.” Philip Lim

Price: $895 for the medium (original size) satchel in leather, $950-750 when color-blocked; $695 for the mini satchel in leather, $625 in canvas; $750 for messenger style
