At the beginning of each month Louis Vuitton add some new members to their family ,as the runway collection does not release until late August/early September the new releases are developing and expanding existing collections.

Let's take a look.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Alma BB

First up is the Monogram Alma BB, there are going to be a few more Alma BB's later in the year (including and Eclipse one!) but right now we have the Monogram version and the Vernis version (more about that later). The BB size is a petit model perfect for evenings out and days when you don't need to carry very much it's also a super stylish alternative to a messenger bag.

Louis Vuitton Damier Rivington Collection

In Damier the Rivington collection brings three new shoulder bags, although I have not doubt they are functional I can't help but think I've seen it all before. The Rivington PM and GM are not unlike the Duomo crossed with a Montorgueil, the Cabas a little neverfull like. One feature I think people will like with the cabas is unlike the Neverfull it does not cinch with pulls it actually zips up to change the shape.

Louis Vuitton Rouge Fauviste Vernis

The biggest addition to the bags of Vuitton comes in the Vernis collection. The release of the new colour Rouge Fauviste, as with all colours in the Vernis range this will not be around forever currently it is scheduled for a 12 months release occasionally these do get extended but it's always best to buy when you can so you don't miss out.
Rouge Fauviste was best described on The Bag Lounge as the love child of Pomme D'Amour and Amarante, it's a deep red with some purple undertones. Above is a picture of majority but not all of the bags available in the new colour.

The eagle eyed among you may have spotted a new bag in the batch above, top row centre is the new Pershing PM (also available in GM) the pouch style clutch feature 8 cards slots and comes in Amarante also.

I have checked with the UK helpline already and most stores have some pieces of the Rouge Fauviste Vernis although stocks at the moment are limited.

In other news, there are currently shortages in both canvas bags (mono, damier, damier azur) and specifically the Alma, in the case of the Alma the shape is being remodeled and new stocks are slowly making their way into stores so while the old one's sell through and the new one's arrive the stocks are low.
As for the general canvas bags this is a simple supply and demand issue basically the Louis Vuitton workshops can not keep up with the demand for their product, to help ease the burden a two bag limit has been enforced in the UK.
If you did have your eyes on an Alma or one the other canvas bags once again hurry once they are gone who know's when the stock will be replenished.
