louis vuitton monogram canvas boetie collection

Due out on 15 March 2009 is the new Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Boétie collection, that looks set to be a hit with the 'mature' crowd. By 'mature' I don't neccessarily mean old (even though I can bet you my last dollar my Mum will want one), but rather ladies who are reaching or have reached a certain stage of their lives and are past fast fads and cheap trills. That said, the Monogram Canvas Boétie is not for everyone, and its higher than normal retail price will put off quite a few more as well. The largest of the lot, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Boétie GM (shown above) will retail for a whopping SGD3940 (prices are tentative at this time), which will beg the question, 'Why so much for canvas?'. Frankly I don't have the answer myself, though I do like the overall shape, the turn-lock clasp, the pleats and the fact that it comes with a removable shoulder strap.
