LV Monogram Tahitienne Cabas GM

I hope Zoe won’t mind me stealing this bag from her to do-list, since she’s been pretty busy these days and it’s about time to givr this bag the attention it deserves. Let me start by saying that I’ve had a hard time getting my mind around which one to go for - the PM or the GM one… So here’s the deal, when it comes to tote shaped bags (which are pretty big most of the time), if they come in various sizes I will usually go for the biggest without thinking twice. The price isn’t usually much higher, unlike the effect the bag has on people (me included ). Zoe has recently added to her collection a beautiful LV Neverfull in the GM size, and it couldn’t look better than it does.

There is room to discuss which size to go for if you are a lady of rather petite proportions, but nevertheless, even if you are and you go for a big bag, I think you’ll look great as long as the style of the bag you go for expresses your personality. But back to the bag… I decided to post about the biggest Tahitienne available because it’s made of woven cotton canvas which just looks better and makes a much better impression if the bag’s body is larger.

LV Monogram Tahitienne Cabas GM What I particulary like about this bag is that it defines a certain fashion period, and it will do so in ten years from now. Five years down the road, people will see you carrying it and think “look at her, she managed to snatch it in time it was released, and OMG it looks great!”. It’s the kind of bags which define you as a fashion insider, and there’s no escaping that fact. You can choose between three colors which all look equally great: violet, rose or sable. Besides the large LV logo paying respect to Paul Gauguin, there is a golden LV plaque on front. There is a d-ring on the side, perfect for attaching a detail such as one of those amazing LV charms, and a strap that can be unsnapped so you can adjust the bag’s capacity or shape. The interior is textile lined and also features the tahitienne print.
