Louis Vuitton hand

A Particularly inspiring piece of the Louis Vuitton monogram denim collection is the Néo Cabby. It is highlighted in the LV Fall 2007 ad campaign, where luscious Scarlett Johanson flaunts her mysterious allure without even trying.  These slightly understated ads perfectly complimented the monogram denim collection, leaving you with a feeling of airy vintage 1950’s. A self-described town bag, the Néo Cabby easily holds A4 format documents and has an inside cell phone pocket. It can be hand-held or carried on or across the shoulder with removable strap, and finished with cute press-locks on the outer pockets.  The LV Neo Cabby bag features natural cowhide trimmings in the blue denim version and grained black calf leather in the black, pink and grey versions.  The LV Monogram Denim is both supple and strong. The denim is bleached and stonewashed, giving it a distinctive and vintage look, while gold toned brass hardware make the bag pop.  The brass pieces on the light grey bag make it easily go with grayscale or earth toned outfits. L V in house fashion director, Marc Jacobs said, “What we strive for is to create a fresh mood and a new spirit each season – a different way for the Louis Vuitton woman to express her femininity, her confidence, and her love of luxury.” These LV Monogram Denim Néo Cabby MM bags make you want them all!

Originally launched in 2001, the Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse collection was a cross-collaborative effort between 1980’s fashion icon Stephen Sprouse and (then) young breakthrough designer Marc Jacobs.  Dressing pop icons such as Debbie Harris of Blondie fame, Duran Duran, Billy Idol, and Axl Rose, Marc Jacobs was named the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame fashion director in 1995. In 1997 he was donned fashion director of Louis Vuitton and Louis Vuitton handbags. Then you have Stephen Sprouse, who took most of his own inspiration from his own pop icon, Andy Warhol.  Bright colors, often day-glo, and inspired by the music scene at CBGB’s and other underground hangouts of the day, made Sprouse credited with bringing downtown street wear to uptown fashion couture. He is a fan of creating icon based designs such as Jim Morrison and Iggy Pop crucified.  He also worked with Keith Haring in 1995, no stranger to the bold and colorful.  So it was a perfectly natural progression that Jacobs would choose Sprouse to work with a few years later.

A long-time fan of Stephen Sprouse, the pair more than fulfilled the company’s expectations giving the traditional fabric a punk, retro ‘80’s feel, and in doing so completely changing the face of Louis Vuitton bags.   The Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse line was an instant hit.  Making a comeback in January of this year, the innovative Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse collection gives a fresh twist on the pre-released line by issuing it in new colors and with design tweaks, in order to pay homage to the passing of Stephen Sprouse in 2004, and the issue of his book and exhibition earlier this year.
