The Louis Vuitton Le Fabuleux is best described as a scaled down version of the Louis Vuitton L'Imprevisible, it's only real difference being the change in size with Le Fabuleux being the "shorter" of the two.

s detailed on the Louis Vuitton Suhali page the leather used in the Louis Vuitton Le Fabuleux is a rare and top quality goatskin from India. Supple yet thick it has the most beautiful natural grain running through it that is untreated.

The beauty of this bag definitely goes more than skin deep though! The interior of the bag is ideal for separating and organizing all those "little "pieces that always have to be carried, just in case!

There are two large expanding inner sections, separated by a central pocket for maximum capacity and perfect organization. The interior is lined in the micro monogram fabric and there is also a cell phone holder as well.

Outside the bag there is an external zipped pocket, a large cross over closing flap with S lock, and corners set with metal squares for looks and protection. The hardware is brass with a stunning polished finish and the bag has tinted edges and contrast stitching to complete.

Although I don't have the pleasure of owning a Louis Vuitton Suhali yet I think that when - not if - I do get one, it will have to be a choice between this or the L'Ingenieux PM. Now if I could just win the lottery or a long overdue pay rise I could get both and not have the problem of choosing!

At the time of writing this review (December 2004), the Le Fabuleux is retailing for $3,050.
