LV VINTAGE BACKPACK (SIMILAR STYLE)

Postcards…magnets…knick-knacks… I look for all kinds of treasures when I travel, last minute reminders of special places in my life. I stumbled into a store last summer and found old Louis Vuitton luggage; perfectly worn, and, by some miracle, had my initials on it. Finds, like this one, are what I’ll treasure again and again.

I’m usually not so lucky. Farfetch makes the hunt a little easier. Did you catch their Hall of Fame page? If not, I’m excited to share it with you guys!! Their boutiques have done a beautiful job collecting vintage designer apparel and one-of-a-kind pieces; all in perfect condition. The bags are unreal!

Vintage sophistication is unparalleled, crafted by influential purveyors of the original trendsetters (e.g. Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Azzedine Alaia). I’m endlessly in awe of their lasting image, and I feel lucky to attend shows and try real fashion: the borrowed and inspired. In a world that is so buy-now-wear-now, a designer piece from ten years ago will not go unnoticed. We’re over-stimulated, and it’s too easy for style to feel stale. With boutiques around the world, Farfetch does a great job of staying fresh season after season.

If you’re keeping up with me on Instagram, I’m sure you’ve seen my carry-on. It’s become signature to my outbound style. The Louis Vuitton monogram is an icon…one of the few timeless prints. Universally recognized, LV captures the spirit of travel and legacy. My pick? This backpack…I have been looking for one for forever. The leather has already turned and gotten buttery. Styled simply, it’s a great everyday edition.

How do you dress for the airport? What’s your favorite way to stay fresh? Which reminds me…I get emails everyday about starting a blog. Post coming soon!! I’m going to share my tips and tricks for establishing a brand DNA. –M

  2. Wow, you really are lucky to have found a vintage bag with your initials on it! It was definitely meant to be. I’m recently into flared jeans and I love how you’ve styled this pair! For me travelling has to be comfortable so I usually go for sweatpants and comfy sneakers!

  3. So many wise words – you are so right, things can get stale and it’s amazing to find a piece that makes you feel special and excited! Your travel look is amazing – especially with those AMAZING jeans! (obsessed clearly)

    I like to keep things simple when I travel and comfortable so I tend to go with darker colours usually but I love a cool pair of jeans or a statement jacket to pull it all together!
