Louis Vuitton Bluebird

New trends for Spring ’09:  Bold colors, embellishments, animal print, exotic skins—things to really catch other people’s attention.  After all, making a fashion statement is all about being able to stand out of a crowd.  So what colors are in?  Eye-popping ones like bright yellow and bright pink are in.  I was checking out some of the new bags that are coming out for this season, and I found a lot of bright colored patent bags, such as the Ferragamo Meditteraneo Patent Shoulder Bag and the Prada Naplak Bags.  Overly embellished bags are also in, such as the Jimmy Choo Lohla Convertible Tote.  Gucci came out with a new collection of handbags called the Jackie Collection, in which they include ones made out of snake skin and another from ostrich skin.  And of course there are the bags that have all the trends put in one.  Example:  Louis Vuitton’s Bluebird.  It has snakeskin and metallic calfskin, golden brass pieces, colorful beads; and the color of the bag is of course blue.  A bit too much for my taste—I’d just stick with one trend at a time.
