If you’re a fan of Louis Vuitton (who isn’t these days, especially with what Kim Jones has done for the mens collection in recent years) and design wunderkind Marc Newson, here’s a new collection from the French luxury house that will get you excited for sure.
In collaboration with Marc Newson, Louis Vuitton has launched a new collection ofRolling Luggages that aims to meet the needs of today’s 21st century traveller. Featuring 3 important innovations that every frequent flyer will appreciate, it a) is made up of an ultra-thin titanium layer bonded to the polypropylene composite shell that makes it super lightweight, b) comes with an external full-width extendable cane (handle) with a simple zip puller closing system and c) is the very first of all Louis Vuitton luggages today to have four wheels, In other words, it’s light, it’s easy to use and most importantly, it will be easier to manoeuver as well, which should cut time spent from the time you disembark the plane to getting into your car by at least a third.
Available in 2 sizes, a Mini50 and a Cabin55 (because God forbid you check in something as gorgeous and as precious as this), this would be the luggage you use for a short two-day trip (use the Mini 50) or go for the maximum allowed onto any airline (the Cabin 55).

Now for the best part. The Rolling Luggages will come in at least 6 different finishes, which means after you’ve decided on the size, you’ll have to choose from between the following: Monogram Canvas, Monogram Eclipse, Damier Graphite, Epi (a virtual rainbow of choices here), Taiga and something called VVN, which is basically Vuitton’s vachetta leather wrapped around the entire luggage and one that will patina beautifully over time.

Priced from SGD3650 all the way to SGD8100 depending on finish and size, here’s another bit of information that will please all of you in Singapore. Whilst the rest of South Asia will only get this new collection sometime in end-September, we can all buy it now at Louis Vuitton boutiques across the island, from Marina Bay Sands to Ngee Ann City and ION Orchard.
So what do I have my eye on? Right now it’s the Cabin55 in either Monogram Canvas orMonogram Eclipse, which are also the only ones (along with Damier Graphite) that can be personalised with your initials with LV’s Mon Monogram service. How not to #LVOE?

If Maleficent and Snow White’s evil stepmother bear a heart, they would be as black and as dark as charcoal. With this picture in mind, are you willing to rock a fashionable black heart shoulder bag without looking all too evil and vile?
Well, well, Marc Jacobs just recently released this lovable Black Leather Heartbag Shoulder Bag and we completely fell in love with it at first glance. This structured heart-shaped bag has a handle at the top for easy carrying if you don’t feel like wearing it cross-body with its detachable shoulder strap with lanyard clasp fastening.
It is glamorous, fashionable and feminine all at the same time, perfect for late night dinners.
The two-way zip closure with oversized leather pull-tab also allows easy access especially if you’re in a hurry to get your essentials.
It measures 6.75’ x 5.5’ x 2.75’ (L x H x W) inches and is reasonably priced around $186 USD via SSENSE.

A new style from Marc Jacobs Special Bag Collection, the Trouble Bag is the brand’s version of a classic shoulder bag – with a sleek angular box bag shape, contrasted by a perfectly round closure and finally accented with sixty diamond cut palladium chain. Practical yet beautiful.
The Marc Jacobs Trouble Bag is inspired by the sophisticated lady bags of the 1960’s, though small, it’s made with luxurious leather lines that comes with four compartments. There is also exclusively, an engraved silver mirror inside, a traditional staple from the early MJ collections. Each mirror comes with a matching leather pull and the fashion brand’s logo – it’s charming, playful and useful, the Trouble bag is truly a girl’s best friend.
The leather is carefully picked, an exceptional butterly soft calfskin leather, it’s also made from suede, which is famous because of its silky and velvety touch. The bag can be carried in numerous ways as it comes with a convertible chain.
The Marc Jacobs Trouble Bag has already been released, but the mini version is new. I love how it can be used as an everyday accessory, a modernized vintage item. Measuring 5.5’ x 6.5’ x 2’ (H x W x D) in inches, priced at $1,410 USD.

Now read carefully about what we’re going to share, it’s as important as eating your breakfast before work. And after you read it, it’s like finding a $100 dollar bill or discovering an-only-today 75% off on-everything at your favorite shopping mall.
You know how much ‘we’ (yes, you and I) love quilted handbags. At our PS Quilted Mini PS11 handbag, we explained that there is magic in ‘quilted’, it just looks so luxurious, feminine and worth our investment. Though the PS11 was not entirely quilted, to be honest only its front flap, but we have found a handbag that is. It’s the Marc Jacobs All In One Quilted Shoulder Bag, but there is more…
First, it’s in black. Black and quilted are the perfect partners to spurt words out like classic and timeless. It got diamond patterns from the front to the back. Then it’s refined with golden hardware, what glamorous! But the gold is not like exaggerated glittering, but it got a touch of vintage, as well as the bag. It looks a bit like used, but that’s the style right?
Here’s why it’s called the ‘All In One’ Bag, listen carefully. It got:
– Two internal compartments
– Zippered center pocket
– Slot pocket
– 8 credit card slots on the front and even on the back wall
It’s an everyday handbag that’s made with structured interior and a lot of space.
Crafted from goat leather, a material that’s smooth and durable. The shoulder strap is detachable, measuring 7.25’ x 9’ x 1.25’ (H x W x D).

CELEBRITY STYLE CHANEL
The Met Gala always swings back and forth between being the best red carpet of the year or, at least, the most interesting red carpet of the year. Every celeb you know and love is there (as well as a few you'd totally forgotten about), and as an added bonus, there's no four-hour award show attached that you feel like have you have to sit through afterward. Win-win. We covered the evening's best bags yesterday, but here we have all the bags celebs carried during the frenzied hours before the big event. Much like Met Gala ensembles, they only occasionally disappoint.
1 / 8
AMBER HEARD
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN LEGEND BAG
First up, here's actress Amber Heard leaving the Ralph Lauren offices after a Met Gala fitting. (Her step-daughter Lily-Rose Depp also attended the Met Gala this year, but Johnny Depp stayed home.) She's carrying a luscious black leather Alexander McQueen Legend Bag.
2 / 8
ELLE FANNING
GUCCI PADLOCK BAG
Elle Fanning and her sister Dakota both attended the Met Gala this year, and paps snapped Elle running Met Gala-related errands around NYC in the hours before. Her pre-gala bag of choice is this tiny, embroidered purple Gucci Padlock Bag. I don't know who makes her jacket, but if you do, please enlighten me in the comments. Also, on a completely unrelated note, my birthday is next Tuesday.
3 / 8
GISELE BUNDCHEN
RAG + BONE PILOT BACKPACK
I fully expected Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady to attend Monday night's Met Gala, but they mysteriously wound up in Cuba instead. (Or, not so mysteriously: that's where the Chanel Cruise 2017 show was taking place.) Here she is just living her life in NYC, I guess, carrying a light brown backpack from Rag & Bone.
4 / 8
HAILEE STEINFELD
CHANEL TOP HANDLE BAG
Hailee Steinfeld definitely attended the Met Gala Monday night. She was spotted carrying a lovely quilted black leather Chanel Top Handle Bag on her way to a fitting. Hailee was one of five (yes, five) different celebs to wear a custom dress from H&M to the Met Gala. I'm not exactly sure what H&M's angle is with this, but they certainly have my attention. [Ed. Note: I think we found their angle.]
5 / 8
KATE BOSWORTH
PRADA CAHIER SHOULDER BAG
Kate Bosworth basically exists for the Met Gala and Prada bags, so you know she was there. Here she is on her way to get fitted for her Dolce & Gabbana dress, carrying a new black leather Prada Cahier Shoulder Bag. For those of you who did not take a bonus semester of high school French, cahier means "notebook," or, alternatively, "signature."
6 / 8
KATE MARA
STELLA MCCARTNEY FALABELLA HEART BAG
Ninety-eight percent of the photos of Kate Mara that we get from our photo service are taken in LA, so the fact that this one of her carrying a heart-shaped Stella McCartney bag was taken in Soho tells me that yes, Kate Mara also went to the Met Gala this year. Here she is wandering around town in the hours before with actor Jamie Bell, who she is apparently dating.
7 / 8
KERRY WASHINGTON
DOLCE & GABBANA SICILY BAG
Kerry Washington makes ABC a lot of money. You'd think that would be enough for some networks, but no, Kerry is still expected to make multiple appearances on Good Morning America every season. Here she is carrying a gorgeous, red woven Dolce & Gabbana Sicily Bag on her way to making her umpteenth GMApop-in. As you might suspect, Kerry did attend the Met Gala, and she also did a special red-carpet pregnancy reveal.
8 / 8
LUPITA NYONG'O
MARC JACOBS COLLAGE SATCHEL
Lupita Nyong'o also attended the Met Ball this year, because of course she did. Paps caught up with her as she was presumably on her way to get fitted for her stunning sequined Calvin Klein Collection dress. She's carrying a Marc Jacobs satchel that is gaining steam with celebs pretty quickly; we just saw it on the arm ofGabrielle Union a couple weeks ago.

Are fake Marc Jacobs bags worth it? Well, the answer is not as simple as it is with Tory Burch replica handbags or knockoff Coach handbags. I love this brand and the man behind it but I need to explain why I asked this is the first place.
It’s not always about the design of the bags but also about the costs. And things are very different with old and new Marc Jacobs styles.
Are All Fake Marc Jacobs Worth It?
First of all, if you have some experience with replica sites and have ever been interested in buying fake Marc Jacobs bags, you probably noticed that they are not easy to find. Very few sites carry Marc Jacobs bags and not more than just a few styles. But have you ever wondered why? It’s actually very simple!
The thing with authentic Marc Jacobs bags is that they are pretty cheap already. For example, you can find some of them on Ebay for 250 USD or less and a good replica would cost just about that as well. If you want cheap replica, they won’t last because they are not made of real leather. But if you want a good Marc Jacobs Petal To The Metal bag for example, then you won’t be able to find it for much less than $200!
The same reason applies to other brands such as Michael Kors or Coach. The prices of the authentic bags are already low and to make quality replica bags would imply high costs, so the profits would actually be very low for replica sellers. Of course, you can always buy fake Marc Jacobs bags off sites like iOffer.com but is that a risk you are ready to take? If you think that a $50 replica will look great, I can’t do anything to stop you from buying, but I totally wouldn’t recommend you to do that unless you really like the style of the bag and don’t care about its similarity to the authentic when it comes to details. Because if you want it to be really cheap and really similar to the authentic at the same time…then you’re in for a big disappointment.
Marc By Marc Jacobs Bags
Old vs New Marc Jacobs Bags
There is a good reason why old bag models such as the Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal were so affordable. The Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal bag was part of the Marc By Marc Jacobs line, his ready-to-wear line. Marc by Marc Jacobs started in 2001 and its main target were younger buyers, which is why the bags were so affordable compared to other designer bags.
Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal Bag from the Marc by Marc Jacobs Line
Newer Marc Jacobs bags like the Incognito bag or the Trouble bag on the other hand are part of the luxury line and are priced accordingly. These are the fake Marc Jacobs bags that are worth it in my opinion. The popular Incognito is more than $2000, so buying a replica instead would make much more sense than in the case of the also very popular Marc Jacobs Petal To The Metal Natasha bag.
Marc Jacobs Incognito Bag Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2014 Collection
I don’t know if you girls know the Marc Jacobs Spring 2015 collection but it included some really expensive bags made of alligator leather that were priced at $40.000. So I wouldn’t advise you to start looking for a replica of these bags anytime soon. Not only that fake Marc Jacobs bags are not popular enough for you to have enough choices but exotics in general are really difficult to replicate. So better stick to regular leather instead.
Marc Jacobs Exotic Leather Bags
So are fake Marc Jacobs bags worth it? It depends. If you are looking for older styles that were part of the Marc by Marc Jacobs line, then the answer is probably no. Unless you can’t find the original anymore and you really like the design of the bag. If you are looking for newer styles, then sure, it makes all the sense in the world!
Marc Jacobs is an amazing designer and artist and his era at Louis Vuitton was the best in my opinion. I sometimes joke around and call him my fashion husband but he really is a fashion genius! So I say that fake Marc Jacobs are definitely worth our attention. Just hope replica manufacturers and sellers will also agree and make more replicas for this brand in the future!
How do you girls feel about this brand and what are your favorite fake Marc Jacobs bags ever?
