I know, you have already seen these Fall 2009 LV bags, but you haven't seen a closer look at the new straps. I'm SO excited about these straps. One of the few things that irritates me about Louis Vuitton handbags are the tan leather straps. They slowly age from a light tan color to a rich caramel color - fine. It's after the caramel turns to brown when things get ugly. At that point it's time for a new bag, right? Well I take my bag to the gym and often carry it when I'm sweaty, so the color turns brown way faster than would happen naturally, so my LV handbag turnover is pretty constant. The straps on this Speedy Gold ($2,160) and the Alma Eclipse ($2,470) in black sequins, solves my problem. And I love these bags, as well. Can you image how labor intensive it is to sew sequins over every logo? Hence the price.
