Louis Vuitton | Runway Fall 2006
The countdown is on to get on the seasonally anticipated waiting list for the new Louis Vuitton glam bags! No big surprise here when I say that ‘the handbag’ is my favorite accessory. When the pictures came out from the Louis Vuitton Fall 2006 runway show I flipped past the jewelry, belts, and shoes, saving those for last while I daydreamed over the gorgeous new glam bags. Here are a few snapshots of my favorites from the show.

Runway review: Still, what really matters to this house is the bags. This season’s offerings were also a bit transgressive, though playfully so. Some of them came in soft embossed vinyl (a daring departure for a leather-goods house), others in white fur, sprayed with the multicolored blowups of the monogram as famously reinvented by Takahashi Murakami. Still others came in slinky leopard-printed chain mail grafted onto classic LV-stamped leather. The standout: a big patent hand-held tote with a handle formed from a pair of golden headphones. Never mind the clothes, that’s the one they’ll be beating down the Louis Vuitton doors for the minute the first delivery drops. – Sarah Mower
