Ahhhh The Louis. It’s been in my family for generations. We are way less Chanel, always heavy on the Louis Vuitton. From my childhood, my mother and sisters collected pieces every year like fine china. This was our art. When you spotted that spectacularly thick brown box with the printed ribbon (it said louis vuitton, so not much of a surprise) under the tree, it was nothing short of pure ecstasy.

I keep every piece I ever got. I have the epi, the glamoflage, the monogram fabric, the speedy, the keepall, tiny ones, big ones and, the newest addition, was purchased in Vegas after a VERY successful pull of a slot machine on my birthday. It’s my collection, it’s sort of a legacy. It’s what I collect. I highly recommend collecting things. Things that you love and cherish. Things that make you feel good when you look at them. And, especially, things that look good with everything.

xoxo, Alex
