The Louis Vuitton L'Affriolant is the latest addition to the Louis Vuitton Suhali range.

Very much a hobo shaped bag - and similar to the Louis Vuitton Boulogne bag, the Louis Vuitton L'Affriolant looks set to become one of the most popular from the Suhali range, due to it's practical nature and medium size.

Made from the same robust and deeply grained goatskins as the rest of the range, this bag will be a "keeper". It will age better over the next ten years than I probably will, that's for sure.

The Louis Vuitton L'Affriolant is 14.5 inches long, 11 inches high by 4.5 inches deep.

With the LV S-Lock closure to the top opening strap, getting into and out of the bag is no problem. Storage on the outside is in a zip closure pocket on the front. (You won't store a huge amount in there otherwise it will ruin the line and shape of the bag - these exterior pockets are more for small, flat items like small card wallets etc.

Inside is covered in a mini mongoram lining, the color of which matches the bag color. I.e. black bag = black interior, white bag = white interior etc etc! You get the idea!

Although there are no feet to protect the bottom, the spread of the bag ensures when you do put it down on a (clean!!) surface it will stay in position, as opposed to doing that sickening belly flop that we've all seen our bags do at one time or another! Here also the strength and form holding property of the goatskin comes into play, allowing the bag to maintain it's shape well!

Final touches to the Louis Vuitton L'Affriolant are the gold metal hardware dotted around it and the adjustable shoulder strap! Please do note though that the adjustment of the shoulder strap is somewhat limited. I think you can extend it by about another inch of drop - and that's it!

As an expressive shoulder bag that oozes quality, strength and money - this one walks the walk as well as talking the talk! It currently costs $2,270 and should be available either online at eluxury or form your local store.
