Keith Richards - the New Face of Louis Vuitton? New Bag Alert!
March 5, 2008 by Ehmonie Hainey
Apparently in an attempt to reach the rock-star, alcohol-soaked, grungy luxury-lover, Louis Vuitton has chosen Rolling Stone-r Keith Richards to model for its ‘Core Values’ campaign. Shot by Annie Leibovitz, the ad features a somber Richards with a guitar and LV luggage case with the tag line: “Some journeys cannot be put into words.” Um, yeah.
In other Louis Vuitton news, the line just launched a new and affordable(!) bag, the Monogram Canvas Montorgueil GM. The bag, inspired by “a lively pedestrian street in the center of Paris” is a rounded satchel with double handles, a top zip closure, and full of Louis Vuitton charm. I have been thinking about buying a Speedy but didn’t want to lug around a bag with short top handles, so the Montorgueil is a nice alternative. It’s roomy (16.5″x 9.4″x 7″) and luxe so therefore perfect!
