Louis Vuitton Antigua Collection

Now available from Louis Vuitton is the new Antigua Collection, named after the Caribbean island known for its yacht races. Of the bags announced, the Cabas PM is particularly compelling with its sporty tote build and nautical flare. The Cabas PM features red cotton canvas with purple contrasting straps and customary golden hardware. A familiar "Louis Vuitton Inventeur" logo plate fronts the $500 tote while a leather luggage tag dangles from one of the straps. Also offered in the Antigua series are the Cabas MM and GM (both totes), as well as the Besace messenger. Many details about the Antigua line is standard LV style, yet so much seems new to me. A successful, summery launch as far as I'm concerned.
