Louis Vuitton's value dips 12% from last year, Prada gains 63% - PurseBlog

The last time we mentioned , you guys had a lot to say, and much of it was demonstrative of the challenges that Vuitton faces going forward – how does a company whose incredibly recognizable logo bags have become ubiquitous maintain its air of exclusivity for top-tier customers?

Is this a problem that Louis Vuitton has waited too long to fix?

Meanwhile, competitors Prada and Gucci surged 63% and 48%, respectively. According to , the stark difference in the performance of the three brands can be pinned on the fact that Gucci and Prada “are better managing the trade-off between exclusivity and affordability.”

The performance of Gucci in particular might show a way Paul Smith Bags forward for Louis Vuitton – the company has put increased emphasis on its fine leather and exotic offerings in recent years, including on the mass market today, while still offering plenty of recognizable, logo-covered canvas handbags and accessories for entry-level customers.

Today, we’re excited to bring you the first leather version of the ever-popular tote – the Louis Vuitton Epi Leather Neverfull Bag MM.

Fashion Week Handbags Louis Vuitton Spring 2013 - PurseBlog

If you’re a Damier fangirl, you’re in luck. Prefer ‘s monogram canvas or regular leather? It might be a tough six months for you, if you’re a Louis Vuitton celine bags UK customer. Louis Vuitton Spring 2013 was largely a riff on the company’s classic check print, with the square motif repeated over and over again in sequins, fur, piece leather and suede. There were a few solid-colored bags with contrasting trim, but they weren’t the story of the day.

The outlet cheap Mulberry Bags sale other important element of this Vuitton collection is color, and specifically how few colors were used. The tone of the yellows, creams, browns, greens and greys in the show reminded me of a 1970s middle-American kitchen, all Harvest Gold appliances and off-white vinyl chair cushions. It’s certainly a palette worth exploring (and one that can be used beautifully in skilled hands), but the finish of the bags leaves something to be desired. The solid options look luxurious, as do some of Paul Smith Bags the Damier Speedy-shaped bags, but many simply celine mini luggage bags look a bit too simple and celine phantom luggage awkwardly shaped for my personal taste.

SIR PAUL SMITH I AM HAPPY TO TALK TO ANYBODY

Mr. Smith, I’ve heard that you play music in your office every morning from 6 until 8 before everyone else shows up. What did you listen Paul Smith bags 2013 to today?


This morning I was listening to a little English singer called Jake Bugg, who sounds a bit like a young Bob Dylan. He’s actually from my hometown Nottingham, so I know him and he’s a very nice lad. I love my two hours of peace in the morning. It’s heaven.

How do you pick what music to listen to?


It completely depends on my mood and how late I got to bed or what type of day I’ve got ahead of me.

What would you listen to if you have a hangover?


Something very gentle, like Dave Brubeck. Recently I’ve been listening to a lot of jazz, which I haven’t done for years. I still quite like Van Morrison as well. The album Astral Weeks has helped me get around the world so many times. It’s very easy to listen to. In general it’s really varied. It’s music from 30 years ago to a brand new band. Luckily I get sent a lot of music from a lot of the record companies because they know I like music and also because we dress a lot of the bands.

When you listen to music do you listen to CDs or to vinyl?


I’ve got both at my office.

You have practically everything at your office… I’ve seen pictures of how packed it is. It looks amazing and a little bit insane at the same time.


Yeah, the insane part paul smith mini cooper bag is definitely true. If my wife comes here, she almost immediately has a nervous breakdown. “Oh my god, Paul, how can you let it get like this?” And then she goes to the girls in the office and says, “You have to do something about it! Because it’s a disease!” (Laughs)


A true collector just can’t help it.


Yeah, I definitely can’t help it. (Laughs) But so many people know that paul smith bags I enjoy interesting things, quirky things, beautiful things so I get sent a lot of things too. That doesn’t make it easier either. Some of the girls in the office were saying to me, “Paul, you have to try and control the office more because we have so many meetings and the table is Paul Smith iPhone 5 Case always so full of things.” And I said, “What can I do? People send Paul Smith school bags me things!” And at that moment, the door opened and five huge boxes arrived from Italy with about 30 spinning tops inside. And I said to the girls, “Look! I never did anything, they just arrived!”

Key shoe styles include 'Pepper' court shoes with an elegant pointed toe, 'Eta' low-cut booties with ankle straps, 'Waters' elongated loafers and 'Miles' loafer ankle boots.
 
Peter Smith and Andrew Hale, responsible for the show's soundtrack explain: "We wanted to suggest a cool electronic feeling of sexuality, a kind of pop-up art disco which suited the clothes and the venue. Using unsigned music like the opening track "Ego" by Waterson and "Lights Down" by The New Sins together with post-industrial analog band Factory Floor combined a feeling of the underground with the Britishness implicit in all of Paul's collections. With Bowie thankfully back in everyone's minds and the expectation of his new album next month, using "Let's Dance" as a finale felt just right."

Barbour Jackets uk sale online shop

I have been to this Barbour barbourjacketsaleuk.biz two times now: first to buy a Beaufort and then to purchase a Liddesdale.

The first time was a very good experience with a blonde mid-thirties salesmen I believe was named Scott who answered all of my questions and helped me look for the right jacket and explained everything very clearly as if I didn't know a thing about Barbour. In short, very very helpful and warm. He also offered me the student discount which was nice since I had no idea there was one.

*However, they were out of the color I mens barbour jacket wanted so I had to settle for a dark olive.

The second time (today) I was met by a younger brown haired man and two awkward blonde saleswomen who seemed to have nothing to do but stare obnoxiously. They were once again out of the color I wanted and so I had to have one ordered to my adress which was another hassle. The brown-haired gentleman seemed to answer every one of my questions somewhat pretentiously which was incredibly annoying. However they did not barbour jacket sale charge me for shipping ladies barbour jacket since I had come to the store (that's right!).

They have to restock more frequently and need somewhat more amiable salespeople but all in all the visits were okay.

EDIT: I'm adding a star because the jacket was delivered the next day with a very kindly hand-written barbour international jacket note thanking me for shopping at their store.  Nice details like that are always appreciated.

celebrity bags jessie js big black and white celine tote luggage bags

LOVE JESSIE J'S BIG BLACK AND WHITE BAG? OF COURSE YOU DO, IT'S CéLINE... THE BAG: Jessie J's black and white Cabas Phantom canvas bag, from the Céline Summer 2013 collection THE DETAIL: When we carry a massive canvas bag around, it rarely looks this good. That may be because we're not Jessie J, and possibly because our bag isn't the new Cabas Phantom by Céline. Spacious, chic and stylish, the bag is perfect for days when travelling light just really isn't an option. What do you think? Fancy some Jessie J style? Jessie J's new Céline Cabas Phantom handbag Made by luxury French fashion house Celine, my new tote is heavy duty leather and full of useful pockets that fasten with several chunky zips. Yet since I bought my Celine bag, I’ve had a relapse of an earlier jumbo handbag-related ailment — sporadic but severe bouts of shoulder pain that radiate down into the pectoral muscle on my chest. It’s unsurprising then, that oversized totes are not only loved by the style set but by osteopaths, chiropractors and physiotherapists, too, as handbag-related injuries are boosting their bank balances. My Celine model is called the 'Luggage'. It’s a fitting moniker for something that currently houses my iPad, iPhone, BlackBerry, complete make-up bag, pair of flat shoes, a diary, a note book, my keys, two pens, a bottle of water, several hairbands and various assorted lip balms celine luggage bags. From Celine's sleek luggage tote to Prada's color-blocked Saffiano bags, understated bags have pretty much been all the rage for the last few seasons celine luggage bags. It's a trend I happen to really like, so imagine my surprise when recently I found myself lusting over something that was the total opposite: a flashy snakeskin mini-bag adorned with a beaded turquoise and orange tiger face.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned for Zoe’s show, it’s that a girl always needs options.

It’s springtime in LA (when is it not, exactly?), and the Kardashians are busting out their bright spring hues and their most exotic Birkins!

While paul smith holdall Kris’ croc is the pricier of the two Birkins, the Grizzly is more eye-catching, if only because you see them a lot less often in the wild.

I mean, this is essentially a harem pant jumpsuit, but when better to wear such things than when you’re dressing for two?
