I had Anon email me about my thoughts on the Louis Vuitton Sunset Boulevard clutch evening bag. I thought I’d share my thoughts here as well even if I’m no bag connoisseur.

The Sunset Boulevard is a clutch bag with a detachable strap. It only comes in Vernis leather for now (the shiny one for the less initiated 🙂 ) and it is crazy cute in person. I love how the gold hardware contrasts with the shiny leather and it makes you look and feel elegant all at once.

I was most captivated by the Sunset Boulevard in Bleu Nuit but it also looks good in the new light pink Rose Florentin. Vernis in light colours do run into problems of color transference, I was told by the SA, so not a good idea in a small bag.

The single strap allows it to be hand held or carried in the crook of your arm or you can convert it into a wristlet. Its gorgeous. It turned my dowdy outfit that day into pure evening elegance. Heck! I’d carry it with jeans and a T-shirt and it’d turn heads.

Mmm… chilli red Vernis leather or what Louis Vuitton calls Pomme d’Amour was a colour I was “lemming”. The rumours on the grapevine say that this gorgeous shade of red might be discontinued soon. So, if you have been wanting something in pomme d’amour, best pick it up now before its gone for good and you have to pay a LOT more on ebay etc in future. With this in mind, I popped into the local LV boutique to check it out.

I sniffed around the boutique a bit trying on various items in Pomme d’Amour Vernis but decided it was all a little much for even me who likes my red RED. Instead my eye was drawn by a new colour – Bleu Nuit (Lit. Night Blue)

Bleu Nuit is a unique dark blue-green navy with sparkles vernis treated leather which gives it a shiny look. Bleu Nuit, for anyone wondering, changes colour depending on the light which really captivated me. Granted Vernis leather is not a look many will like, and neither did I until recently. I saw it in the Sunset Boulevard clutch and the Bellevue PM bag and it actually looks way more sumptuous in person than I ever expected. No prizes for guessing which one followed me home LOL…
