Louis Vuitton Denim

It's probably Louis Vuitton who initiated the denim accessories craze, with the introduction of this line, heralded by some, criticized by others. Almost immediately, knock-offs were made, but it was difficult to get the quality and style just right and the faux are fairly easy to spot.

The iconic Speedy bag is revisioned with press-clip flap pockets and a calfskin-trimmed exterior zip pocket for a chic new look. Finished with yellow topstitching and a cheerful saffron lining.
