Louis Vuitton Raindrop Besace 'Trash' Bag


I've been tearing through about four years of Elle magazine's this week in an attempt to consolidate them into image books. I came across a spread from about a year ago that featured this Louis Vuitton handbag [from the SS10 Collection] and took a trip down memory lane to learn more.

It seems the fashion world wasn't such a big fan of the Vuitton "Raindrop Besace" bag. A lot of opinions on the world wide web found this nearly two-thousand dollar [patent leather lambskin] bag ridiculous. Marc Jacobs and the Vuitton creative team called it a utilitarian rain bag. It features leather handles, pull ties, a vintage Vuitton logo printed on the side, and was available in two colors.

If you ask me the bag was genius. Not only did it get people talking, but what's more "boss" than considering a two-thousand dollar bag trash? I suppose not much would have been able to compete with the "Monogram Chece Bohemian" bag anyways [that was the amazing dip-dye bag always featured with that incredible fox tail].
