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 =]
