Film Noir Meets Fashion - Lady Dior Cannage Bag Film

Dior has done it again! Besides their fabulous clothing & accessories collections, even their AD campaigns are now captivate our imaginations! Directed by Olivier Dahan , featuring French actress Marion Cotillard, Dior has released a mini film of its own - a lady James Bond adventure. For this ad campaign, Dior has invited 2008 Oscar winning French actress Marion Cotillard as its advertisement spokesperson as well as the famous photographer Peter Lindbergh to take shots. Taking a fancy to Marion’s noble temperament, so Dior selected her to be the model who can match with the new Lady Dior Cannage Bag perfectly.



"Chapter 1: A Lady Noire Affair". The film shows off the men in perfectly pressed Dior Homme suits, and Marion Cotillard rushing up the Eiffel Tower in amazing black heels, distinctly shaped "Diorette" sunglasses and the Lady Dior Handbag. Dior has cleverly put their best selling handbag on display with a short film and the episodes will continue. I'll be blissfully await the next video made in New York "Lady Rouge".



Below you can view “The Lady Noire Affair”, which was released in May. Do not expect to get all the answers right away. If you pay careful attention there are clues provided. So who will save lady Dior? We will have to wait and see.



It’s said that the reason why this bag is so famous is kinda related with our familiar Princess Diana. "In 1995, at the Cezanne Art Exhibition sponsored by Dior Corporation, the former French First Lady Bernadette Chirac sent Princess Diana a new model of Christian Dior bags as a gift." Then Dior immediately named this unreleased bag "Lady Dior" - gracefully to the name extremely. And Diana also liked this bag so much that she carried it in many important official occasions, then this bag has fired up.



This latest Lady Dior Cannage Bag 2009 is crafted by the soft supple suede which sends out a light lambency, patterned with cannage embroidery and logo cannage jacquard lining. With unique cannage geometric surface and two hemicycle handles, it’s also attached with silver Dior logo metal hard ware and the metal protective feet.

The Fendi Peek-a-Boo bag is an "underground" celebrity it bag. It's a pretty low-key handbag, , but it just screams luxury.





We've been reporting many different style of the Fendi Peekaboo Satchel in our blog, but this new jersey peekaboo is one of my favorite one, because it has a very similar shape to the Hermes Kelly bag, but this Fendi Peekaboo satchel has a classic shape without seeming "snoby" and bourgeois like the Hermes Kelly.... and it's way more hip and easy to carry. Don't get me wrong i love Hermes, but compare to Fendi's peekaboo, I like this bag more, it's just my opinion.

Umm...couple of tickets to Brazil please..

Mr. Wilbert Das, when not being the über creative director at Diesel, is into setting up beautiful villas in Brazil. So glad he picked up this 'hobby', else we wouldn't have had Uxua Casa Home.

 "Above a remote stretch of Brazil’s Bahian coastline sits an enchanting fishing village called Trancoso. On the town’s historic green (the Quadrado) is a secret garden holding a luxurious hideaway; nine 1-3 bedroom houses built and decorated in collaboration with local artisans using traditional building methods, recycled materials, and exquisite attention to detail."

Well, Thank you Mr. Das. Good job!

Now for those tickets and reservations..

But wait. Let me first practice pronouncing Uxua...it can't sound the way its sounds coming out of my mouth..can it?

You try. While you take a look at this amazing place..

Dior Granville Satchel Tote Is a Must Have Bag !

I've always love Christian Dior's fashion, and their accessories are just fabulous! They are must have for all the fashonistas! Today when I browse the Dior official site, I found the newly released Dior Granville Collection & there comes a Dior bag that I just need to have it!



Available at Luxe-Gifts.com

You must be wondering why this bag is named "Granville"? well, Monsieur Christian Dior was born in Granville, Normandy. I find the hand stitching of the "cannage" detail so beautiful! because they are slightly irregular and they're 3 dementional. The detail is achieve through pin tucking the leather so it is actually a part of the bag rather than applied, so the intersections of the lines are a bit off. You would think this is a flaw but it is done so well that it is just a perfect example of DIOR's superior quality and worksmanship.



Of course, silver-tone hardware completes its luxurious totality, which you can find on the loops and on the hanging DIOR charms. It has a zip along the top, and the hour-glass shape can actually be folded over, just like on other convertible bags we have these days. This gives you an option of whether carrying it as a handbag through its top handles with rings or as a shoulder bag through its detachable strap.



What I love the most is the multi compartments inside of the bag! The interior of the bag was divided into 3 large compartments by the big fully top sip center divider pocket compartment. so you can fit all of your stuff in and still looking stylish & fabulous!



Here is a photo of Demi Moore carrying the LARGE size granville



Even tho Ashton is super hot but I still can't keep my eyes off Demi's fabulous DIOR Granville



We hope you enjoy the review of this fabulous DIOR Granville satchel/tote bag, and if you like the bag, we've just received the size Medium Granville directly from DIOR and now available at our very own online store Luxe-Gifts.com ! come check out the bag, it will be the best investment purse you'll ever get!

Untill next time, be well and look fabulous !

FENDI Patent Leather & Gold Color Embossed Leather Lining Peekaboo Satchel

What's the first thing that comes into your mind when you think about the famous Italian fashion house "FENDI" ? those big "FF" logos all over the place right? If you love their logos then you can't get enough of it ( Just like I am such a CHANEL "CC" logo freak! haha) but if you hated their "FF" logo then you probably would totally disregard any of the FENDI handbags.

BUT!!! Since in Spring/Summer 2009 collection continues to Fall/Winter 2009 and 2010, Fendi has came up with all different type of the new "IT BAG" name "Peekaboo Bag". It's sophisticated & understated! all the bells & whistles are inside of the bag! so when you close the bag all you see just a understated handbag but when you leave it open, the top droops down and reveals all different types of beautiful lining inside of the bag. From beaded "FF logo" to Fur & snakeskin lining!



Here is one of the many beautiful "Peekaboo" bag, this one is the Black Patent Leather Peekaboo with embossed Gold color checkerboard lining. (Available at Luxe-Gifts.com)





This crinkled patent Peek-A-Boo bag is so understated and ladylike that I almost can't believe it's Fendi. I mean, where are all the bells and whistles? There's not even any snakeskin on this bag! The truth is that this bag doesn't need anything extra to make it work. It has an old fashioned, sophisticated charm that defies trends.



The simple shape of the bag combined with the sleek patent material and the pronounced seams creates a sharply tailored look that will work for a lot of women. For edgier fashionistas, the Peek-A-Boo would make a great bag for the office, but I think a lot of women will find that this is a highly versatile, high quality accessory that can coordinate with a lot of looks.



The details on this bag are so luxurious and plentiful that it's hard to know where to begin. The inside of the Peek-A-Boo is made of a fabulous laser cut suede with gold paint that will make you want to reach into your purse at every possible opportunity. The gold metal hardware is understated and beautiful. And the interior compartment of the bag is ingeniously divided into two sections, which each have pockets of their own.

Here is FENDI's Spring/Summer 2009 Fashion show when they debut the Peekaboo Bag



Untill next time, be well and look fabulous !
