i love this wildly vibrant print which i believe is based on a blown-up and stylized bouclé tweed pattern, but feels more like an African 'Dutch wax' print to me.

Feature Bag #26: Cuir Soana Sac Plat
its been a little over two years since my last a feature bag post. not for lack of bags but for lack of time (and quite honestly, a waning interest – i can't be bothered).
but anyway, today i present to you my Soana Sac Plat in marron (dark brown):
from the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2007 Runway collection designed by Paul Helbers.
here's the bag as seen during the presentation in Paris:
constructed out of highly durable and rather unusual kangaroo skin, the Soana leather made its debut during this collection and has since made a reappearance in the S/S 2008 menswear show and the recently concluded F/W 2012 Women's RTW extravaganza patchworked into skirts and coats.
here are a couple of detail shots of the bag including the blind stamped branding, contrast stitched 'Geometric V' motif, polished golden hardware….
… micro monogrammed cotton lining and brass plaque label.
and here it is with brother, the transmogrifying Soana Sacoche:
my Soana Sac Plat has been my go-to bag when i need to just chuck everything in for a quick getaway
it's gotta be LoVe =]
save the date!

Etro F/W 2011 cowhide shoes
as for shoes, these are the ones that really stood out to me from the recent Milan menswear shows:
these fuzzy cowhide shoes are rather off-kilter but still retain the label’s own boho-dandy sensibility.
from Etro’s Fall/Winter 2011 presentation.

D&G Coca-Cola jumpers
im quite drawn to these Coca-Cola jumpers from D&G’s Fall/Winter 2011 presentation:
the none-too-subtle pop culture reference reminds me so much of the Superman t-shirts they did a few years ago. plus the pastel blocking – mint green, ice blue, puce & salmon – on these washed angora/lambswool (?) jumpers are just preppily neutral.

Gucci F/W 2011 Roll-up Briefcase?
im hoping someone would confirm that these:
actually unfurl to become this:
if so, it’s brilliant!!!
im not really keen about it pretty much resembling the Hermès Kelly Longue when folded. im more excited that someone finally made a truly packable leather briefcase. i want the one in tan.
