Louis vuitton handbag

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. But that doesn’t mean you can’t spice it up with some modern touches. And that’s what designers are doing now more than ever: reinventing old tried and true designer handbags like the Louis Vuitton Speedy and Gucci Bamboo. If you look at this year’s collections, they’re chock full of old classics. Critics might say that this trend reflects a lack of originality, but I happen to love seeing all of my favorite handbags reinterpreted from season to season. One of the things I look forward to each fashion week is seeing what my favourite designers Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Gucci have done this year to their classic handbags.

Some of my favorite handbags were invented decades ago. The Speedy for example first debuted in the ’30s, and since then, it’s been updated countless times to meet the demands of our ever-changing style. And why not? There are reasons that people still love the Speedy. Its rounded shape makes it ideal for for carrying everything you need. It was the perfect city bag in the 1930s, and it still is in the 2010s. I love seeing my favorite iconic Louis Vuitton handbags updated with new materials and trendy new looks. I guess we will have to wait to until fall for this breathtaking model but it has been swimming in my head for weeks!

Classic Replica Gucci Handbags for Today

Gucci handbag

Similarly, the Gucci Bamboo handbag was first introduced in 1947 and has remained a quintessential handbag for fashionistas ever since. Like the many faces of the Louis Vuitton Speedy, the new updated Gucci Bamboo handbags represent iconic style and unmatched craftsmanship, while still exuding nowness. I think that reinventing classic bags is one of the ways that the iconic fashion houses stay legendary. With fresh takes on old classics, designers can simultaneously remind us of their rich history of fabulousness as well as show us that they’re still on top of current fashion trends.

Chanel handbags

There are countless examples of the Chanel Classic flap from the 2.55 reissue to the straw bags shown here. Its the Chanel handbag that is most recognized, it is the handbag that defines what Chanel is. If you want to know what direction Chanel is going this year just look what Karl did with the Flab!

Do you love the classics as much as me? Or do you wish they would get their hands dirty and invent something new?

    Sofia is ReplicaValley.com , Replicatouch.biz and ReplicaVision.com the same site but different name? They are almost the same phone number. I was just strolling through their site and appeared to me to have the same merchandise. I’m confused!!

    • Sofia ~ 04/01/2010 at 11:04 am

      To tell you the truth I am not sure. I understood they are different owners but I have also noticed many similarities

  2. Enis ~ 03/30/2010 at 6:59 am

    You should check out e2pop.com. I’ve heard from a few of my LV-fiend friends that they have THE BEST Louis Vuitton replicas or most consistent anyway.

    • Enis ~ 03/30/2010 at 7:00 am

      I’m ONLY addicted to classics. Trendy bags come and go, but classics last forever.

      • Sofia ~ 03/30/2010 at 1:27 pm

        I can go with both classics and trendy :)

    • Sofia ~ 03/30/2010 at 1:27 pm

      Hey Enis, I just did. Though their variety of brands is pretty vast and almost each handbag comes with the right number of pictures, I`m still having second thoughts. You see, the prices are pretty low, too low for a good replica, if I may add, and I can`t really tell from the pictures if the quality is one of kind. But that`s not the main issue. Their payment methods are not at all the ones that I`m looking for when shopping online. They have Money Gram, Western Union and Wire Bank Transfer. No credit cards accepted? I mean, don`t get me wrong, it`s not that I don`t agree with those kind of methods, what I don`t agree is using them with a website that I haven`t tried before. Another aspect that I disliked was that there is no contact telephone number and not even live chat support. How can you be sure you get a hold of them by filling a form?
      But if you have friends that shopped there before, maybe you can share with us some pictures.

        Hey Sofia, I’m ever so patiently waiting for you to receive your Artsy from replicavalley.

        I did too checked into e2pop.com. Their LVs, especially the Artsy, looked so good! They have enough pics to see side angles where the folded seam looks a lot better than other sites. Even the quality of the leather looks convincing…what do you think?

        • Sofia ~ 03/31/2010 at 11:42 am

          Their big variety of pictures can be confusing but if you pay a closer look, you can tell the difference.

      • Joanne ~ 03/30/2010 at 8:35 pm

        Sofia, e2pop.com does have Paypal option.

        • Joanne ~ 03/30/2010 at 9:18 pm

          Ok, I have become an expert in my own way…Sofia, I vow not to peak at other sites, I mean I can peak but NOT be serious. I compared (replicavalley and e2pop) stich by stich, embossing by embossing on certain bags and YES!, there are DIFFERENCES! Very easy to tell. Definitely replicavalley’s is SUPERB!

          LOL, I hope we all get paid doing this sort of thing. Sofia, we can make big bucks! Which reminds me I must go back to work…talk to yall later.

          • Sofia ~ 03/31/2010 at 11:52 am

            Hey Joanne, so glad to see you`re getting the hang of it! No doubt ReplicaValley is better than e2pop :)

        • Sofia ~ 03/31/2010 at 11:26 am

          Hmm, are you sure Joanne? I`ve checked again, and read the same thing, that they accept Western Union, MoneyGram or Wire Bank Transfer. No Paypal though.

          But even if they did have Paypal, we all know it`s not a safe payment method, especially if you haven`t shopped with them before.

          • Joanne ~ 03/31/2010 at 5:48 pm

            Under FAQ:

            “How to pay?”

            “We accept PayPal, Western Union, Moneygram or Bank Wire Transfer. back to top”

            It doesn’t really matter, like you said, even PayPal isn’t safe.

      • Enis ~ 04/03/2010 at 10:06 am

        Replica Valley doesn’t have the specific bag I’m looking for. I feel like RV is just smoke and mirrors, i.e. overpriced. I happen to know people, some who have been buying reps for years, who have found VERY reliable sellers with the best quality (believe me, these bags are NOT Canal St copies either), straight from China, at wholesale pricing. Some accepting Paypal, some not. Keep in mind, my friends are both buyers of authentic and replica; usually aficionados in one or many brands.

        My point is that I don’t always think price equates to the quality of a replica. The same rep seller I know/ioffer seller could be selling an LV at nearly a fraction of ReplicaValley pricing yet pull from the same factory. RV speedies are nearly $200 shipped! I think that’s outrageous. And just an aside, I know that Chanel is difficult to replicate, but I wouldn’t dare be seen sporting any of the ones on ReplicaValley. They’re not very good and cost too much for what they are.

        • Sofia ~ 04/05/2010 at 10:28 am

          Why don’t you let us in on some of the sites you love?

  3. Maria ~ 03/30/2010 at 1:44 pm

    Totally agree with you Sofia . The pictures are tempting but that whole payment method , contact number….. just makes me click back on replicavalley.

  4. faith ~ 04/01/2010 at 10:41 am

    what about replicaestore? Are they of the same ranking as replicavalley? I am still awaiting my FIRST bag from replicaestrore — something like the LV doctor bag in the pic up there. Will go get it form the customs next week. Had NO idea that they would need to picked up at the airport –about 2 hours drive.

    • Sofia ~ 04/01/2010 at 10:52 am

      Their quality is not as consistent as replicavalley and I know lots of people have had trouble with their service but they were great when I ordered

  5. Erin ~ 05/29/2010 at 10:15 pm

    I was hesitant to order from Colapin-bag b/c of some comments I read. I received my runway purse and was very impressed with the quality. Materials, weight were identical to the real stuff. LV Marc Jacobs wallet, however, had the hardware placed a little crooked. I recommend the website highly but avoid ordering things with too many hardware, if you don’t want people to wonder. I own more than 30 genuine LV purses I’ve been collecting since my teens. Recommend the website highly.

    • Sofia ~ 05/31/2010 at 10:12 am

      Hey Erin and thanks for sharing your thoughts here with us.
      Us, readers thank you.
      I was wondering if maybe you could help us with some pictures of your handbag? My email is replicapot@gmail.com :)
