LV Damier

I just realized in all my blabbing on and on about bags that I have never featured a Damier product.  Huh?  I know.  LV bias, right?  But I actually love Damier leather.  To me it look so much more sophisticated than Monogram and it's not as played out.  It's a sad thing but we see so many LV Monogram handbags in a given day, that we automatically assume that they are fake.  Every one I know does this.  So over the past 3 days, I have sold this bag like it's the golden ticket to heaven.  The LV Trevi PM

I love this bag.  A few years ago I had the original of this bag in the GM. It's a sharp bag.  I love the shoulder strap.  I love the size.  I found the GM was better for my needs but very overstated, meaning this bag has a lot of presence. Here is the GM:

Because it's a "different" looking bag (reminds me of a big change purse), I found it difficult to match to certain outfits.

The only downside that I found with Damier leather is that it is difficult to match to your shoes.   So just when you get the outfit perfect, the the shoes come into play and this bag, with it's large presence, makes it tricky when trying to match two toned anything, never mind shoes. 

Damier leather goes really well with anything that is one solid colour.  Red and tan look especially good!

All Damier leather products will be on the site over this coming weekend!

Happy Shopping!!
