A Definitive Guide to Men's Fashion and Grooming: June 2010

People been bashing it ever since its photo was released, saying its a stupid garbage bag with a ridiculous price tag. I understand that the price is steep but this is no stupid bag, I actually think its witty. Am I the only one who likes/wants this?

Meet the now infamous Raindrop Besace from Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2010 collection that was inspired by the lifestyle of the New Age Travelers. This utilitarian "rain bag" combines a luxurious feel with a delightfully practical shape. Though described by its detractors as a cheap plastic bag, the Raindrop Besace is actually made from soft and sumptuous patent lambskin leather which features delicate pleats and printed with vintage Louis Vuitton graphic signature.

Other details include natural cowhide leather trimmings, an adjustable strap with Louis Vuitton signature webbing for comfortable shoulder or cross-body carry, a soft nylon jacquard lining with woven Monogram pattern an interior zipped pocket and a bright orange textile drawstring to change the shape of the bag.

Raindrop Besace measures 18.9" x 13.4" x 2.8" and comes in two colors, Emeraud and Moka. Its available at Louis Vuitton stores for approx. US$2400.

Louis Vuitton's new collection has a real futuristic vibe, things like telephone cords and exotic materials. As with all Vuitton items they come with a hefty price tag but i think its worth it!
First cab off the rank is the top of the line New Age Traveler Backpack, This piece takes a humble rucksack to unprecedented levels of splendor as its a patchwork of everything luxurious. The bag combines various lurex jacquard woven Monogram fabrics along with exotic skins including crocodile and snakeskin. Also, this bag is abundant of suede leather tassels and headphone cables, and two swinging furry foxtail charms topping it all off. Think Monogram canvas on steroids.

The craftsmanship of this piece is extraordinary. This extremely complex and over the top bag is the result of many hours of painstaking handiwork. In close inspection, you'll definitely appreciate Louis Vuitton's savoir-faire, their expertise in handling exotic leathers and unique materials and fabrics.

As tradition every season, Louis Vuitton's ultimate piece is only available by request with a deposit upon order. New Age Traveler measurs 12.2" x 20.1" x 11", procurable at Louis Vuitton for US$54,500. Which is pricey for anything, so for now i think we should all just stand back and admire it.

Next is the Monogram Denim Sunshine, the smallest bag from the sun collection, it comes in two colours, blue and purple but i shall concentrat on the blue for us guys.On the runway, these go-anywhere bags are hung with brightly colored leather tassels and furry fox tail bag charms.Sunshine was created using an exclusive denim bleaching technique to achieve that lovely 'bleached by the sun' look. The bag features natural cowhide leather trimmings and luggage tag, an adjustable strap with Louis Vuitton signature webbing for a comfortable cross-body or shoulder carry, an interior pocket and golden and colored metallic hardware.Available at Louis Vuitton stores for US$2330

The Sunrise is the bigger version of the sunshine and comes in two colours with different coloured straps, and would be complimented by the foxxy charm.

The Sunburst PM (and larger GM version) are basically the travel versions of the Sunshine, they are soft and suple and perfect to stuff your clothes into for a lazy weekend flight.
