In all honesty it has to be the shape of the Louis Vuitton L'Ingenieux that does it for me so effectively. I mean look at it, really look at it. It's bursting with clever little touches and tweaks that all add up to a most remarkable piece of design.

I can't help but feel the idea of the Suhali range belonging to exotic locations and materials when seen in a bag such as this.

Standing 16.5 inches long, 9 inches high and 7 inches deep for the L'Ingenieux GM or 12.5 inches long, 8 inches high and 6 inches deep for the L'Ingenieux PM it is an 'oversize' with good space and access without being cumbersome or too large to be comfy.

The Louis Vuitton L'Ingenieux was inspired by the retro-chic shapes of classic bags, and this handcrafted bag mixes modern usability with "couture" finishes.

With standard, engraved S lock closure, zip pockets at each end and four square LV studs on the base the exterior is capable and rugged. The interior has the Viennese interior clasp plus an inside pocket and cell phone holder all covered in the Micro Monogram fabric.

I have to admit to loosing all control when close to one of these gorgeous bags. I can spend happy times just sitting and looking it over and exploring. Do I own one? Not yet - but I am saving VERY hard right now!
