Went for a bit of shopping today.. I’ve recently become quite fascinated (okay, obsessed) with scarves. Decided I wanted a long-ish skinny one that I could also use as a belt, or around my neck if it’s cold. Went to the Louis Vuitton boutique and they had the most perfect blue one – the Fleur de Porcelaine Bandeau! It’s limited edition so I was surprised the store still had it.. Was also eyeing a multicolour/rainbow one and just couldn’t decide, but Chris (he met me in the City after work) decidedly said that the blue one was better, by far, so I got it 😀 It’s all pretty and silky and will make a nice belt, since I don’t really own any belts! Plus it’ll wrap twice around my neck to keep me warm in winter.. so technically it’s like getting 2 things for the price of one 😉

Also, I saw the Louis Vuitton koala wallet when it was launched a few months ago and thought it was adorable, but it only came in the Monogram design (or at least the store only had that design). Recently, found out that it’s now in Vernis too, more specifically – Framboise! I’m on this mad mission to collect all the Framboise coloured accessories.. the pink is divine – so totally unashamedly girly 🙂
Anyway, I’ve been using the Framoise Ludlow for my notes and coins and my main cards, and the Framboise cles for the rest of my cards. Decided I wanted to consolidate.. so the Framboise Koala was a winner! It was a toss-up between that or the Framboise French Purse.. but I already have one of those (in Indigo, though) and the Koala’s gold clasp just had me sold 😛 I really like it! It makes a solid purse and has tons of card pockets and space. Nice 🙂 Plus the pink really *pops* and it makes me smile when I look at it – such a cheery colour!

Really like the framboise colour.. the others don’t really excite me as much. Pink’s just cute 😛

I think it’s nicer than the other wallets just because of the cute clasp!

I’m thinking the scarf will go nicely with jeans, and I have a ton of blue clothes.. 🙂

This bandeau is actually meant to b for your hair. kinda like a head band.
beverly – posted on July 7, 2006 at 1:13 pm
Nah, I’m going to use it mainly as a belt or a scarf.. and perhaps tied on my bag. I think it looks funny in my hair

omgoshhh that scarf looks sooo amazing!
🙂
congrats on finding the perfect scarf this winter!

Thanks! I like how I can just wear it with jeans.. and it doesn’t scream “LV” so it’s more subtle 😛

One day when I start to have a full time job I will be the same shopoholic as you 🙂 but now im just a poor student in Denmark! :s
I love your LV blue scarf!!

Ahhh I woudln’t recommend starting on the shopping bit – it’s seriously so addictive and bad for you 😛 Not like I can talk, hee!

Oohhh I LOVE the koala wallet! The vernis ones look really gorgeous (esp. the framboise just like yours!) but a lot of people have been saying not-so-good things about the vernis leather (colour transfer issue, scratches easily, etc) so I think I prefer it in the Epi leather 😉
beverly – posted on July 7, 2006 at 10:59 pm
I find the vernis is really sturdy, but the white/light ones can get colour transfer in hot/humid weather and if you put it on a dark object.
With the Epi leather I find it really flat and a bit plain, like you could get it from another leather store (for a lot cheaper!), so I prefer Vernis as it’s really unique, esp the colour 🙂 BUT a lot of people love Epi so it’s just personal preference!

The wallet feels all ‘meaty’ in my hand, if that makes sense 😛 Like a proper filled wallet instead of the teeny ludlow – so it’s a nice change!

I love the scarf and also the Koala wallet (esp. the clasp). I was trying to see if I could spot some koala designs on the wallet but couldn’t find any. It would have been really cute to have koala imprints.
beverly – posted on July 8, 2006 at 3:13 am
Awww yeah, little koala imprints on the inside of the wallet would’ve been adorable! I just saw an Epi black one pop up on ebay, from “let-trade”.. but yeah, I don’t see the Koalas in stores or online that often

And I just keep buying scarfs (designer and non-designer);) That Vuitton is TDF 🙂

I really like this particular one since it doubles up as a belt too – yay 😀

*grin* I like really bright colours.. even colours that most people find garish, haha! They’re much nicer than the standard browns/blacks IMHO
kathsonno – posted on July 9, 2006 at 12:38 am
I love the scarf! How much was it if you don’t mind me asking? And it definitely doesn’t scream LV – I agree. I like that about it!
And the purse is divine!!
beverly – posted on July 9, 2006 at 1:01 am
It was only $150! Not bad for a 100% silk scarf 😀
kathsonno – posted on July 10, 2006 at 9:26 am
Oh my gosh! That is really cheap! Did you get the last one or did they have more?
beverly – posted on July 10, 2006 at 9:28 am
Ooo I dunno, they have it in blue (mine) and also red, which is GORGEOUS. They’re limited edition though.. so hurry!!! And check out the Multicolour version – it’s the same price and drop dead gorgeous 🙂
kathsonno – posted on July 13, 2006 at 10:22 am
oh my goodness!
Cam said I could get one when we head in for our anniversary weekend next month. I hope there’s still some there!
