Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis
Released back in 1998, the Monogram Vernis was the first task of the now well-known designer Marc Jacobs when he was hired. The line consists of exclusively elegant and witty bags. They all look varnished, as the title implies (Vernis means varnish in French), and many say that they look a huge lot better in unique rather than in the replica versions. The line introduced two shoulder bags and eight great looking handbags.
Now for the actual bags:
The Monogram Vernis Bedford, together with the Monogram Vernis Alma MM, stands out from the crowd in an instant once you take a look at the Vernis bags. Other notable bags include Bellevue PM (arguably the most classic, LV looking model of this line) and GM, as well as Melrose Avenue that seems to have a touch of gold on it.
The Bedford bag is an extra-feminine bag which follows the LV ready-to-use standard. The body of the bag looks distinct and makes the famous canvas stand out even more. It has two handles, made from original cowhide and is offered in six tentative and subtle colors. The golden brass pieces make the bag stand out even more, and it’s certainly a summer wear – great if you’re going somewhere hot on vacation. The bag is carried on the shoulder and is a great middle-class bag that reminds of the famous Papillon bag.
The Alma MM is a classic bag. Its shape was invented in the 30s by G. Vuitton and is a hand-held masterpiece, covered with leather and the Monogram Vernis canvas. It’s closed by a padlock. The bag is strong and stands out with its longevity. Extra studs to protect the base, a pad lock that preserves the process of closing the bag. It has a double zipper and two patch pockets on the inside, together with a cellphone bag. It costs somewhere around two grand and is definitely an exclusive product, to say the least.
Overall, the Monogram Vernis is a spare and tentative line. All of the varnished bags manage to provide a feminine look; the best in this line is that it suits everyone. Though there are seasonal handbags in the Monogram Vernis, most of them can be used throughout the year, and the exceptional tanning provides longevity which might be a concern because of their look. The only downturn can be the price, but replica handbags aren’t that different from the original. On the other hand, if you buy LV bags you always know for what you pay, and in the case of the Monogram Vernis line – you pay for top-notch bags that will look great even after you have worn them for a long time.
