So close, yet so far away
You’re looking at “Olivia” by Louis Vuitton, an imperfectly-lovely sling that will set you back $680 at eLuxury. The shape is gorgeous, but there’s something seriously askew here:
Colorwise, the concoction works for me — the leaves on the floral print are of a similar earthy hue to the brown cap toe. However, the striped cap toe is incredibly distracting and does not gel with the flowery print. The net effect is a floral pattern that looks like old wallpaper and a cap toe that resembles cardboard paper.
Memo to M. Vuitton: you can do old wallpaper or you can do cardboard, but you can’t do them both in the same shoe.

I don’t understand the raspberry leather. I’d go with red.

I don’t know…I rather like it. A bit busy, to be sure, but it makes me smile.
