Achtung Achtung, The Color Purple!


I was checking in with my friend from Lausanne on what her first designer item purchase for the year 2008 was, and she emails me this photo:Louis Vuitton’s newest Vernis color, purple (violette).

I was FLOORED. New Color already out?! Finalllly!!! And in PURPLE!! Ok, purple- anything lovers, whip out your wallets and head over to our very own Louis Vuitton boutique in Greenbelt 4 tomorrow to get your hands on one of these lovelies.

Never have I been so crazy about vernis as I am about this violette one. However, I am holding back for 3 reasons: 1. My standing bet with AnnaS (I REFUSE to buy her coffee hahaha… I’m too cheap); 2. Violette Vernis didn’t come in the style I wanted. And thank Gawd for that! :); 3. I am still saving money for the LVRichard Prince Aquarelle Speedy (or papillon… choices choices… whichever’s cheaper?! hehe).

I’ll see if I can go to LV tomorrow. You know, check the violette vernis out in person. And no, I am not going to purchase anything, but thank you for suspecting 😀

  1. Hi Mrs. T-

    I recently got my first ever LV bag- a neverfull MM. 🙂

    Can you provide me tips on how to care the bag? How should I clean it? How do I keep it? How do I maintain the ‘patina’?

    Looking forward to your reply! Thanks.

  2. Hi Mrs. T! I found out through thepurseforum.com that LV will be coming out with 2 shades of purple for the Epi line. From the pictures that were posted, a bunch of girls concluded that the darker shade is for bags while the lighter shade is for accessories. It’s really nice! SAs in the US have told some of the shoppers that the purple Epi bags are scheduled for release in February. So I’m holding out until then 😛

  3. Hi! just wanted to share..Last night, a friend of mine showed me her Gucci bag (which she got from Ebay – US!!!). She asked me if i thought it was a fake, since she had a sinking feeling that got duped based on the chipped off silver hardware. Sadly, I had to tell her that she got duped (she wanted me to be honest!!) based on the simple fact that Gucci never came out with the design. I advised her the same thing you mentioned many times.. to constantly be updated with brands and their bag designs. Also, to check out the source of your purchase.

  4. hey Mrs T. about those Mono Aquarelles: there will be two versions – one with the frame closure with exotic handles and one with just vachetta trim and the normal zippers. the Speedy only comes in white and the Papillon in brown only and they both have the same price: exotic trims: US$3600 and the VVN versions are US$1185. the Speedy is a 35 by the way. just thought you’d like to know.

  5. After my pink, silver and beige vernis LVs turned yellowish, I swore never to get anything vernis. Worse, the glue of my silver vernis started coming out of the seams after 3 or 4 years. I just wonder how these new colors will hold up.
