Paris has recently witnessed the launch of the Coquille d’Oeuf clutch bag made its debut in Paris during the showing of the Louis Vuitton Spring Sumer 2012 collection. It is currently on display at the exhibition being held Musée Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris that marks the homecoming of Louis Vuitton who started his career in Paris and set up his first store there in 1854.
The bag is going to be a couture piece for sure with a story as remarkable as the price tag. According to The Guardian, designer Marc Jacobs proudly pointed out that it took 300 hours to make, with 12,500 pieces of egg shell “mosaicked” into the Vuitton monogram.
Louis Vuitton train at Paris Fashion Week
The very famous fashion Louis Vuitton brand has lately stirred up quite a fashion revolution at the Paris Fashion Week with the Louis Vuitton train, reviving the repertoire of the luggage business from where it had its humble beginnings. The Louis Vuitton Express was set in a life-size facsimile of a train station that featured ornately arching ironwork and a giant station clock. The one carriage train liveried in navy and gold elegantly emerged from the background and pulled into the station. A navy of poised all-female cast of travelers descended from the station one by one, each of them accompanied by a uniformed, white-gloved porter carrying her handbag and luggage.
The entire collection has a huge variety of luggage and fashion intertwined in every aspect of the collection taking into consideration what a lady traveler would carry for a bag, what she would wear and where she would go. The cloths in the collection used the chequerboard “damier” pattern which was previously used on LV suitcases. The entire collection elements such as the hats, silhouettes and high waist resonated with the 1960’s and 1970’s aura. Model Kel Markey claims that the train had beautiful interiors and cost a whopping $8 million, although LV declined to comment on it.

Monica Bellucci launching lipsticks for D&G
Monica Bellucci has teamed up with Dolce & Gabbana for a limited edition lipstick line designed to reflect a woman’s “state of mind”.
After the announcement of Kate Winslet’s charity makeup line for French beauty giant Lancôme last year, Italian star Bellucci is the latest actress to venture into the realm.
The idea for the collection was to create different shades, different colors depending on your mood of the day, your state of mind,” the actress told WWD February 17. He loves all shades in the collection and feel drawn to the different colors, depending on how he feels.
The advertising campaign for the Monica Lipstick Collection was captured by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, known for their work with the likes of Louis Vuitton, Missoni and Giorgio Armani. Evoking classic Italian cinema, it is set to run in publications across Italy, America, the UK, Russia and the Middle East this May.

Range Rover dressed up in Louis Vuitton
Range Rover has been gift wrapped with a red ribbon for Kim Kardashian’s sister Kendall some time back. The beast has been wrapped up completely in Louis Vuitton monogram in an attempt to bring the high-fashion to the streets. The logo print, a pink and white stripe runs through the vehicle’s length and the owner’s initials, N.J.H are loud and clear on the bonnet. This LV-themed Range Rover was spotted parked outside a budget store in Bournemouth, UK. There are no confirmed reports about the kind of wrap and the cost involved. But we are sure that such a customized makeover doesn’t come cheap. It isn’t the first time we came across a car slathered with LV logo. The Cadillac Escalade that featured Louis Vuitton seat and dashboard trims wooed all fashionistas while the 1962 Cadillac caught us dead as it dropped its Louis Vuitton top to reveal the LV-stylized interiors.
Louis Vuitton Polo Bike
Louis Vuitton is one name which goes hand in hand with luxury. Any new product under this brand name has to make news and especially when it is different in many respects than the regular range of purses and apparels.
The contrary being the fact that bike polo is not a very common sport in today’s time. The players at least know how to stay stylish while modernizing the age old game. It directly mimics the traditional game of polo except it is played on a hardcourt instead of grass and on bicycles instead of horses.
According to sources, this elegantly appointed polo bike was created by both Louis Vuitton and revered polo bike players Hengst and Barbier. It comes equipped with all the bells and whistles; so to speak, including etched bar plugs, fully wrapped shaft and embossed leather pedal straps.
And let it be known that this is not just a preexisting polo bike that Louis Vuitton decided to add its luxe touch to it is an actual product made by the French company. There is no word yet on how much one of these will cost you, but indeed it will be a higher price point than just any old polo bike on the market.
Louis Vuitton to divulge jewellery studio, perfume
Luxury brand Louis Vuitton is all set to use jewellery studio on Paris’ Place Vendome this spring and is preparing its first perfume. As per the label’s head Yves Carcelle, In April they will have their own jewellery workshop and in May will open their boutique in the same building
When we talk about luxury we have to take into account that one place that goes hand in hand with it is Paris. It will soon open doors for Louis Vuitton to rejoin the exclusive club of the few jewellers who have their own workshops on the Place.
As per Carcelle there was no timetable yet for the perfume launch and revelled in the fact that luxury meant not having to bow to pressure. They have recruited the famous ‘nose’, Jacques Cavallier, and they are in the final phase of buying a country house in Grasse on the French Riviera, where the perfume laboratory will be built.
The master perfumer, 49, is the “nose” behind L’Eau d’Issey, Dior Addict, Poeme by Lancôme and Stella by Stella McCartney. The deal will make Louis Vuitton one of the few labels in the world with its own exclusive “nose”, along with Chanel, Dior, Guerlain, Hermes and Cartier. Louis Vuitton, which began making bags in 1854, branched out into ready-to-wear, shoes, watches and sunglasses in the 1990s and 2000s.
