Now that I got the new role – a promotion actually – as I’m still within the same company – and so I think I deserve a new Louis. I am so keen of getting an Alma in Vernis – but PG thinks it looks like a PVC. I had to explain to him that it is leather except it’s coated creating that shiny look. You have to visit the LV site and go through each one of the colours to see and appreciate this handbag. I see it as a perfect Fall bag. PG also kept reminding me that there are other luxury brands, to which I reply “Sure darling, I’ll get to that too!” I have my eye on a Fendi & a Prada – for a Friday bag.
This is the description from the LV site: “The iconic Louis Vuitton Alma shape, sleek Monogram Vernis leather and smooth rounded handles make this city bag a must-have accessory. The curved shape allows for a large interior capacity too.” It is a roomy bag – which means I don’t need to have a shoe bag!
I do love a big handbag – just because I like to put MY whole life in it in a day. I mean, I tend to have a shoe bag (translate to = another bag to keep my shoes, book, umbrella, water bottle, etc.) and my handbag is where I keep the essentials (wallet/s, vanity kit, phone, etc.)
And did I say it has golden brass metallic pieces? Who doesn’t want those gold pieces – a key bell and padlock – in a handbag???
Plus the Alma is structured and has very clean outline – just perfect for sharp suits and clean line dresses I will be wearing for fall. This bag will add pizzaz to the dark sombre fall and winter wardrobe.
The decision is now up to determining which colour?
1) Rouge Fauviste – a hue between Pomme d’Amour and Amarante – a cranberry-ish hue. 
2) Amarante – dark cherry (my friend Ivy has this and I LIKE)
3) Bleu Infini – smokey blue
I have called LV shop in Collins today and they do have the Rouge Fauviste MM in stock. And it was nice to hear the SA say – “Glad to hear from you Mrs McCauley!” Funny because it is PG’s name in their books – not mine.
