Astrakhan Messenger - Ultra Rare

This is an ultra rare Astrakhan messager released in 2005 men's fashion show exclusively for VIPs only. It is made from luxurious Astrakhan and Nutria Fur and is definitely a nice complement to my other Astrakhan Carryall here.

Mini Monogram Mary Kate 48H Bag

The mini monogram line was launched on 1999 giving the traditional monogram pattern a colorful, young and fresh look. This bag, named after American fashion designer / celebrity, Mary Kate, was released in 2005. This bag, at the time of its release, comes with a lot of different colors to choose from (dark green, black & white, light pink, light green...) and this navy blue version is my favourite.  Mini monogram line was discontinued in 2005 and replaced by / renamed to Mini Lin. Anyway, I like this bag 'cause it is very unique and practical to carry to work or school.

Monogram Speedy 40

Speedy is always a good introduction to the world of LV for any beginners. For me, this vintage Speedy 40 is a nice choice to carry my everyday stuff as the size is somewhat between Speedy 30 and Keepall 45. If you're a guy and you don't feel like carrying the bulky keepall 45, then I suggest you to try Speedy 40. It's just a nice addition to your LV family.

Celebrating the prestigious competitions in the sport of yachting, this LV Cup reporter (GM size) bag was one of the first batches of bags that were released under the Cup line in the mid 80s. 


I enjoy carrying this bag because it is sooo unique, very practical (with 2 compartments to hold lots of stuff) and sportive. It is now considered one of the rarest bags in the LV Cup line and a collector's favourite!

Monogram Batignolles Horizontal

I bought this bag as a gift to my aunt. I can see why this bag is so popular because it is simply very easy to carry, practical and yet stylish.

Stephen Sprouse Speedy 30

When Marc Jacobs first collaborated with Stephen Sprouse and released a series of Graffiti bags in 2001, they rocked the fashion world. No one has ever thought that the LV would be so "in" and "daring" to make bags like this.  This Green Graffiti bag, released at that time, was a bag to die for.

In 2008, Marc Jacob relaunched this Graffiti series with brand new colors as a tribute to Stephen Sprouse. This is definitely one of the "must-bag" every LV fan should own.

Vintage Steamer 45

I got this steamer 45 bag from second hand market. When I first saw it, I just knew that I had to take it home. The steamer bag is one of the most representative icons among LV's luggage sets. The dark leather and used condition just simply add favor to its vintage appeal. Love it!

Monogram Sac Flanerie 45 Shoulder Bag

This monogram Flanerie shoulder bag is an excellent choice to carry. First, it has a similar size of the ever-popular Neverfull GM or the recent Totally GM with a zipper that can secure your belongings. Second, it is very spacious and can hold many stuff with no worries. It is absolutely a beauty and unique to carry it around town.

Monogram Gibeciere GM Shoulder Bags - Vintage

I have two Monogram Gibeciere GM Shoulder bags. The left one was released from the early 80s with a shoulder leather strap. 


The right one is an updated Gibeciere GM Shoulder bags that was released in the late/early 90s. It is a bit larger than the older version and the leather shoulder strap was replaced by a nylon/cotton strap.

I carry them both regularly. Although they are now considered vintage, they are still quite fashionable to carry around. 

(A side note: LV has adopted this Giberciere GM style recently by adding "Fish net" pattern at the front pockets and named the bag to Congo)

Monogram Noe

Monogram Noe is a popular bag. Being a guy, I found it quite feminine to carry it with its original short strap (above pic). So I bought me a long strap as a replacement (below pic). The long strap allows me to carry this bag across shoulder, which, I think, is quite stylish.
