Tuesdays with Twiggers: just when I think I’m done they lure me back in! this time it is the beautiful Louis Vuitton XL handbag that has done it. I am a huge fan of the trendy oversized, super-slouchy handbags that we always see the Olsen twins carrying around, and this new handbag fits this description perfectly. If you are a fan of oversized bags then feast your eyes on this charm that is available in the XL size (29.5″ x 12.8″ x 5.9″) and the XXL size (32.2″ x 16.5″ x 11.4″). Or, as I like to call them, huge and ginormous! The Louis Vuitton XL and XXL are made from soft, luxurious Mahina leather with microfiber lining. In addition a top clasp keeps things secure, and side buckles can adjust the size of the bag. I’m absolutely loving this bag, but alas the price has me contemplating purchasing the Chanel baby Cabas first! What do you think? Thumbs up or thumbs down?

XL $3000, XXL $3700

I’m feeling an accessories day today. many purse enthusiasts are accessory lovers, I think. layered as well as huge pendants are ‘in’ best now- for the moment at least. The Juicy Couture Multi strand pendant fits all the checklists of being a completely hot accessory at the moment. utilizing raffia, crystal as well as gold brass beads, the pendant is much more than you might desire for with all of it’s multi-strands. The chunkiest part of the pendant is the one strand of big raffia beads. together with the raffia beads are two strands of gold beads as well as three of glass in gold settings. The pendant fastens at your neck with stone colored ties. This is a fantastic bit number on Net-A-Porter for $260.

When Alessandro Michele took the helm at Gucci, the house’s direction altered drastically. At first, nobody was sure what to expect, however before we understood it, Gucci was at the top of everyone’s list, as well as now the brand is the one to enjoy as well as emulate for an market trying to keep up. Gucci has broadened utilize of its famous logo material across its offerings, as well as in doing so, assisted produce the logo-mania we’ve seen return across the entire accessories market. For years, everybody stated logo bags were overplayed, however as it turned out, the genuine issue was that brands weren’t doing a excellent task making their logos feel contemporary or fresh. Gucci altered that.

But that’s not where this ends, since Gucci has a new effort that I’m exceptionally ecstatic to share: preliminary customization. Gucci.com just introduced its #GucciDIY service online, as well as you can produce a custom-made bag made just for you. This bag shape has been utilized by the home before, however not in this larger size, as well as now you can personalize both the front as well as back of the bag with your initials.

First utilized in the 1970s, the GG logo progressed from the original Gucci rhombi style from the 1930s. There are two sizes of the Ophidia carry offered for customization: big as well as maxi. Both totes function the traditional beige as well as ebony soft GG ultimate pattern on coated microfiber fabric, which is accented with brown leather trim as well as the traditional web stripe. While the bags are large, the materials leave them lightweight as well as simple to bring on your shoulder. The interior has a detachable pouch with a zipper closure, as well as there’s microfiber lining, which has a suede-like finish.

There are over 15 possible personalization choices when it pertains to colors as well as materials, including leather (7 colors), python (3 colors), croc (5 colors), as well as felt with crystals (1 color). Each bag can have as much as two initials, one on the front as well as one on the back (as pictured), to make it stick out as your own. shipment timing is from 5 to 8 weeks in North America.

Gucci just opened its Wooster area in NYC, as well as there you can have your bag personalized by utilizing a digital interactive tool, enabling you to view the product in genuine time with AR technology. The Wooster area is a new, 10,000 square foot idea for the brand as well as homes women’s as well as men’s ready-to-wear, jewelry, accessories, as well as décor, while likewise being the very first location in the world to function the new #GucciDIY collection. If you are going to be in NYC, I would extremely suggest popping into this new area as well as and taking in all of the imagination as well as advancement it has to offer, as well as you can inspect out these totes in person as well as location your buy there. The place is 63 Wooster street in the Soho community of Manhattan.

But if you can’t go in person, Gucci.com introduced its #GucciDIY service on the internet so you don’t miss out. The bag embodies whatever that makes Gucci so special ideal now; great deals of brands have methods for you to get a couple little letters hot-pressed onto a hangtag or little accessory, however in quintessential Gucci fashion, the brand has taken the concept to its a lot of fabulous, in-your-face extreme. The Maxi carry is truly large, as well as for me, I like the big tote—it feels just right. This is a bag I would like to have in my collection to pass down to Millie, as well as even if our initials weren’t the same, this is a piece that will stand the test of time.

Also, if you are a Gucci sneaker fan, the exact same initialing style detail is offered for a pair of Ace sneakers (one letter per shoe). The letters are fixed with two button-on patches, in a range of material as well as color combinations—including leather in bright red, green, yellow, pink, or black, python in red, eco-friendly or dark natural yellow, shiny fuchsia or gold silk nappa, or black felt profiled with crystals. Both the shoes as well as bags function a diy signature mark (on the insoles of the shoes, as well as on the insides of the bags).
