The ever classic Louis Vuitton is changing with the times. This is one successful brand that knows how to keep their image fresh and still manage to evoke old world elegance. For the first time since it's debut in 1888, their original brown-on-brown checkerboard pattern Damier collection of bags and leather goods is allowing the color blue into the mix.

This collection was inspired by and designed to reflect life on the French Riviera. If you ask me, the color is well suited to match the sparkling water of the glorious Mediterranean. Bags available in this new pattern are: the Speedy, the Keepall, the Noé, the Saleya and the Pampelonne. Other pieces in the collection are: the vanity case, the accessories box, sandals, hair cubes and flip flops. Customized hat boxes and trunks are available as well.
