Louis Vuitton Denim Bag: Snob or Slob?

lvdenimpatchbag.jpg

I have no words for Louis Vuitton‘s python-interior embroidered denim bag with multi-beaded handle (and are those feathers I see dangling nonchalantly?!?!?).  I guess one could use it inside out and pretend it’s really a python bag lined in denim. I mean it would make more sense but then you’d lose out on the kaleidoscope of logos in rainbow colors and we all know LV fans love their logos!   This actually makes me sad; after touring Louis Vuitton’s home and atelier I’d developed a newfound respect for the brand, but this– this makes no sense whatsoever (though it could have been made purely for editorial purposes, or for Beyonce).  What do you think?  SNOB or SLOB?

  1. slob but not as hideous as the patchwork one from a couple of years ago. this one is great for a ten year old.

  2. this looks like something from Libby Lu’s the store that caters to little girls. A pink feather boa would complete the look

  3. In a very odd way, well, naturally I couldn´t imagine carrying something like this, but the bag looks delicious. It is a slob, but I would be interested to see the inside of it. It´s like it belonged to some other century .

  4. super slob, I don’t like LV at all. It is so over rated, and sadly people who don’t now how to dress think that they can simply wear an LV bag and they will look fashionable. I just hate monogrammed bags.uuugggghhhh!

  5. Definitely slob. What are LV thinking of??? Or more probably, they are not thinking at all.

  6. Hideous…beyond words!

    Luxury is over, esp. for these big “name” houses that continue to do this.

  7. Well I think that maybe it was designed for a child?

    Like one of those rich brats who won’t carry a little house shaped napsack? This bag could also be the result of a really bad acid trip.

    The handle would look cute as a necklace though.

  8. Agree, that is such an accurate phrase to describe it: “fascinatingly ugly”. But really, Tina, this is supposed to be a runway/limited bag, so of course it looks just outrageous and over the top.

    I believe we really have yet to understand the genius of Marc Jacobs. 100 years from now, in many generations, he will be hailed as today’s Picasso and Dali. Like all artistes that were considered loonies in their time, MJ will have the last laugh.

  9. I think it is a well balanced design. Everything is “over the top” at the same level,

    the jeweled handle denim fabric with colored LVs’ and feathers touch of gold,

    all in perfect balance.

    I actually like it…like a painting, but I doubt if I would pay the points,

    nor can I call a place I would wish to use it for.

    maybe church?

  10. i agree that this might not be wearable but it does look like a work of art. BTW, why is bagsnob supporting websites selling replica? Aren’t you suppose to be a snob?

  11. I actually kinda like it, minus the feather. the handle is nifty but the python lining is a waste.

    and google advertisements randomly put up whatever ads they want, so the bagsnobs are not supporting replicas, it’s who pays google to have their ad space so that their ads come up randomly…duh. You can’t control what google puts in their advertising.

  12. Tacky!

    Why does a replica bag website, www11bag11.com advertise in your blog? It’s found on the the left panel scroll bar.

  13. why does it have to be watered and stripped down to a normal pouchette which they already have as an option? I am so tired of everything looking the same or ordinary and have to start applauding art pieces. It’s evil insane genius. I love it’s vaudevillian look. I love anyone who has the guts-besides Beyonce-to carry this. I loved all the of ideas LV brought forth for Spring Summer. The stacking of mismatched bracelets, the insane $2000+ plus Sticky or whatever theyre called shoes, the grass skirts. It’s drama, it’s a dinner and show all in one collection or in this case, in one small hilariously overpriced pouchette!!!!!!

  14. I totally agree with Yuli. Carrying an LV bag, in and of itself, does not make you stylish, but there will inevitably be some people who buy this solely for the Louis Vuitton name. Personally, I would rather carry a fake leather bag from Target than this monstrosity.

  15. Sasha!!!

    This is how we met– you asked us to comment on the last denim patchwork bag for US weekly but we lost out to Tim Gunn’s quote… 🙂

    Evil Insane Genius. It only makes sense coming from you. LOL

  16. As much as I love louis there needs to be a line that dosent get crossed but too bad they already crossed it.Sorry its truly fugly breaks my heart to say it but SLOB!!!!! 🙁

  17. I must be totally off the reservation because I think it’s cute. Would much rather have this funky and individual piece than any of the regular monogram denim or monogram canvas LV bags. How much is it?

  18. Oh please! Lighten up, willya?! Paired with some little skinny jeans and a perfect white shirt, you would be the cutest Saturday lunch date EVER!

  19. That bag is so UGLY! way too much going on, logo, handle, is that a feather hanging down in the front? Ok to be short this style lacks CLASS….LV designers should remember a very wise phrase “LESS IS MORE” you never go wrong like that.

    I am not a LV fan because I truly HATE busy logos outside of ANY bag, I like a bag that when I see it I recognize the designer concept but not with a logo written all over.

  20. my 13 year old sister could make this bag. it looks a mess. Its a waste of a python!! a TOTAL slob

  21. Too much going on with this bag. The feathers… the beading. The python no one knows is there. So why do I want this so bad? Maybe it speaks to the excess in me. I want this desperately and I don’t even own any LV.

  22. i love it! i mean the material, and how they embroid the handle with beads.. and the dangling feathers really makes the bag looking whole.. perfect for some wild party, but i would use it all day though.. love to get one..

  23. it seems that the majority of the people posting have no clue about runway design.

    its supposed to be over the top ! I think the bag is great for runway. and all of you calling it hideous are probably in your 30s with horrible fashion sense who buy draft looking clothes and think crocs are cute.

  24. i love this bag,

    i think its very different and it might not be your average lovable object but i would definitely walk with this

    i loved it in Elle magazine

    and i am sure if it was in my hands i would love it a whole lot more….

    😀

  25. this kind of purses looks so beautiful ,

    if you attend an important party, you absolutely need a purse like that , so if you want to own this brand name Handbag, you will find it here

  26. Replica handbags is the intelligent choice for modern women who always go in for fashion and want to look classy without spending too much money on a single item.
