Louis Vuitton Bequia Trotter GM and MM Bag

The Bequia line first came to media attention in the 2007/08 men's fashion show. I immediately fell in love with this line because it is a full leather bag first of all. Second, the design is so delicate and details are so fine, let alone to the fact that the leather is soooooo silky smooth. Third, it has a very discreet feel and unique appeal.

I have to confess that I was very indecisive which sizes I should buy 'cause I like them both. So eventually, I got them both. The large one has three compartments that can holds almost everything from your laptop, documents, wallets.. while the smaller one is handy that you just take those essentials and go out for a nice dinner with friends.  What do you think?

Monogram Danube (GM Size)

I carry this iconic bag very often to work because it has a large compartment to hold my 17" notebook and meeting documents. Too bad this GM size has been discontinued in the LV production. Currently only the PM size is still available.

LV Cup 1995 Red Messenger

I had a nice holiday trip to Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City, last week with my family. I carried this beautiful rare LV Cup messenger with me. I took the above photos in my hotel room in the Cap Saint Jacques Hotel in Vung Tau, a nice peaceful resort area about 130km from Ho Chi Minh City. OK, talk a bit history of this bag :  It was released in 1995 to celebrate the annual cup event. This bag has two large compartments that is very suitable for holiday and short trips.

Amazone Shoulder Bag (PM)

I took this bag with me during my travel to Kota Kinabalu. It is a very handy and compact little bag that I can put some essentials and go out for a nice sightseeing walk. Pic 3 is an retired Elise matching wallet that I use to put some foreign notes and coins. Aren't they nice?

Today I'd like to introduce you three vintage LV bags I bought over the years for my aunt. They are (from left to right): Saint-Germain shoulder bag, Vavin GM and Cartouchiere shoulder bag. Although they all have been discontinued from production ages ago, they are still very chic and modern to carry. Love'em!

Monogram Amazone GM - Vintage

Happy Chinese New Year to all my blog fans! It's been a while since I last updated my blog as I've been busy working, traveling and spending time with my family. Today I present to you my vintage Amazone GM bag. I took this bag with me during my holiday travel last Christmas. The above photos were taken in my hotel room then.

This bag has been discontinued since late 80s and it is now considered quite a rare find. There are two compartments and you can store a 15" notebook in the larger compartment while still have enough space to put your everyday belongings.

It is a shame that LV does not produce this size anymore (only the smallest size still available) because it is indeed a very practical shoulder bag for everyday use.

Vail Blanket Fashion Show Tote (Super RARE)

First seen in the Men's F/W fashion show in 2006, this bag was named "Vail Blanket" cabas. Sometimes you have to wonder why LV never put this pattern / color to actual production. Instead only the gray/blue and red/black pattern were produced and released. You can check out deluxeduck's journal for more info.

Anyway, I am fortunate enough to own one of these rare founds and it is certainly my top 5 favorite LV bags of all time.
