LOUIS VUITTON's Delightful GM is...delightful!
Just received my new LOUIS VUITTON DELIGHTFUL GM in monogram. It is a HUGE bag (even for me) measuring "23.5" Length x 14" Height x 6" Depth" although the way it hangs makes it appear much smaller. It kind of folds like a fortune cookie. I love the thought of an LV hobo and this is it! It is my kick it bag and my everyday bag. Even thought it's dimensions are the biggest bag I have, I still cannot put as much stuff in it as I do my LV Speedy B 40. I love it!!
GUCCI Blue GG Canvas and Red Leather Boots
I am in LOVE with my new GUCCI Blue GG Canvas and Red Leather Ankle Boots. I always had a soft spot for the GUCCI's vintage blue and I'm so glad they have brought a few pieces in the iconic blue back. Now to get a blue GUCCI GG canvas clutch or perhaps a GUCCI red leather clutch to go with them. This is my excuse to shop!
LOUIS VUITTON Alma Voyage MM
This Louis Vuitton Alma MM is part of the Voyage Collection that was only available for a short while and has since been discontinued. A very rare bag to find! It is almost exactly like the regular Louis Vuitton Alma but it is HUGE! Most people would use it for a travel bag but of course I use it for an everyday bag. I purchased it brand new which means I must be EXTRA careful with the cowhide vachetta. Once the leather gets a little tan it won't be so susceptible to stains and watermarks. A bag that was not cheap but will last a lifetime. It is truly timeless and I love it!
Measurements: 19" Length x 14" Height x 9" Depth
GUCCI Chain Horsebit Hobo Large in Guccissima Leather
I already have this bag in black canvas and I must say, I vowed never to buy another one. Although I absolutely LOVE my black GUCCI, it is a bit heavy to carry and is hard to get on my shoulder while wearing a jacket. BUT, I saw this one in Guccissima leather and couldn't resist. I purchased this on Malleries.com and for a very good price considering it is such an iconic bag. It is discontinued and is no longer available in boutiques.
Retailed for $2080 in 2009.
Measurements: 18" Length x 15" Height x 5" Depth
GUCCI Sunset Raffia Extra Large Tote
I have been wanting this bag since I first saw it from the Spring 2010 Cruise Collection but I refused to pay over $1,500 for a straw bag. I bought this from eBay in excellent condition, like new really for only $475. It is quite huge and I will have to wait for summer to wear it as it is quite tacky sporting a raffia bag in the winter here in California. I can't wait to use it! It is beautifully made with the straw in the iconic GG pattern in different colors of straw (see pictures).
Measurements: 20" x 13" x 6" with a 8" Strap Drop
Oh, how I have strayed!!
I never thought I'd be saying this, but I have purchased my first Louis Vuitton. My eyes have been wandering lately, and that has possessed me to invest in a LV. It is a Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere 40 with Strap and it is the most iconic and well known LV's there are. Audrey Hepburn used to sport a LV Speedy back in her days. Of course, I had to go to the extreme and buy a 40 which is HUGE and I am starting to have doubts and may return it for a Speedy 35. Here is my beautiful, classy and well made Louis Vuitton. I think I'm in LVOE!!
The Newest Addition to the Family!
This is the latest addition, the GUCCI White Hysteria Top Handle in a large. I can't believe how soft and buttery the leather is. It is untreated leather, so I'm going to have to be extra careful with it. It will pick up marks and dirt fast. If and when it does, I will just have to re-dye the leather; white leather is so easy to touch up. I did want this bag in purple, as in the one on my Wish List, but decided on white instead. But, I do see purple in my future!
Measurements: 17" Length x 15" Height x 4" Depth
The GUCCI Large Canvas Sukey
Love this bag!! It is the perfect size. The wide depth makes it quite large. It is made of GG canvas with off white leather trimming and can be bought on Gucci.com for 995 now.
Measurements: 16.5" Length 13" Height 8" Depth
My GUCCI Interlocking Large Hobo
GUCCI TAN INTERLOCKING LARGE HOBO
Measurements: 19" W x 15.5" H x 2" DThis is my latest love. It is a HUGE bag and I absolutely love it! I purchased it from "Always in Style Luxury Goods" via "Malleries" new with tags. I have been wanting this bag in a large in this particular color for a while now, and since it is a discontinued style, it was no easy task! I really think I need it in black now also. :o) It retailed in 2009 for $1,650.
My GUCCI Studded Pelham Large Tote
I am so hooked on this bag. Bought it about a year ago new and I just love the size...it is HUGE! Now I want to find the same bag in beige GG fabric. The search is on. This bag measures 18" x 13".
My GUCCI Chain Horsebit Large Hobo
Another iconic GUCCI bag! This bag, whether it's in black or beige GG fabric, has got to be the most sought after and most famous GUCCI bag after the vintage blue boston of the 80's. I really love this bag and wish I had it in beige also. It's another HUGE one, which is what I prefer (as you may have noticed). It measures 18" x 14".
My GUCCI Britt Medium Tote
This has got to be the smallest bag I own. It measures 16" x 12", which is not that small. I love the metal GG emblem in the front. This is another iconic GUCCI bag and I will never part with it, although I really don't use it that much. The leather is untreated and so soft but prone to get dirty fast, so it sits in it's dust bag a lot of the time.
My GUCCI Jolicoeur Large Tote
This was my very first GUCCI bag! It holds a special place for me which is why I will not sell it. It is made so well, and the craftmanship quality is a lot more noticeable than in my newer GUCCI bags. I use it for my laptop bag, which fits my 17" laptop perfectly. It measures 18" x 13".
My GUCCI Studded Pelham Large Hobo
This is one of my favorite "everyday" bags and is the one I most carry. I used to have it in a medium but I really wanted it in a large so I sold it and purchased this large Pelham new from London, England. It is made of GG fabric with dark brown leather trim and handles. Measurements are 20" x 12.3".
My GUCCI Princy Tote
This is the largest Gucci bag I have. It is HUGE!! This is my rain bag or just "kick it" bag that I use when I don't feel like taking special care of my handbag. I plan on dyeing the leather to refresh it and when I do, it probably won't be the kick it bag any longer!! :o)
Measurements: 18.5" Length x 13" Height
My vintage GUCCI accessories and a GUCCI duffel bag
I love vintage GUCCI accessories. Here are my 2 cosmetic bags, 2 key fobs, cigarette or glasses case and a vintage wallet. These are from the 80's, mostly late 80's. I am amazed that these pieces are over 20 years old and still in almost mint shape. And I use them every day!
I am showing a picture of my GUCCI duffel bag that is vintage also; from the 90's as well.
Soho Large Shoulder Bag - Red
On the top of my Wish List is the GUCCI Soho Large Shoulder Bag in red leather. The Soho is part of GUCCI's new Cruise 2012 line. It has a lone strap with tassel detail and bottom feet for protection. It retails for $2090.
Measurements: 16.5" Length x 14.2 Height
GUCCI Hysteria Large Tote - Purple

Measurements: 17.7" W x 10.2" H x 5"D - Strap drop is 8"
I really love the fresh look of this Heritage tote featuring on Gucci.com now for $1,320. I wish it was slightly larger but it doesn't come in a large. Nevertheless, I can definitely see it in my closet in the near future!
GUCCI Crest Boule Diamante Tote and Crest Boule Leather Tote
The last two bags on my Wish List are the Crest Boule Diamante Tote and the Crest Boule Leather Tote. The Diamante Canvas is my first choice. It is a top handle with an optional long strap. The Diamante Crest Boule retailed for $2200 and the leather tote retailed for $2500 last year. They are no longer available in boutiques.
