Champagne Anyone?
May 02, 2013
A good family friend who is always in the 'know' sent me a fabulous article on the iconic Noe bag by Louis Vuitton. She remembered I had one. It has been in my closet for a good many years waiting for its revival.....and so I think it may be here?
This bag was designed in 1932 to transport champagne bottles (oh my!). To live in an era when you needed special bag just for your champagne. The idea for it to was to be like a bucket bag that would safely carry five champagne bottles. And now, 81 years later, Louis Vuitton is launching a new smaller version called the Noe BB.... and boy is it cute! I was so inspired and so happy my 20 year old bag is making a comeback I planned a mini romantic picnic in our backyard as an excuse to carry a bottle of Veuve Clicquot in my now "it" bag even if it is from the kitchen to the yard.
What is sitting in your closet waiting for a revival?

ReplyDeleteA Louis Vuitton bag for champagne ... I cannot believe it!
ReplyDeleteClever and when you think it was in 1932, LV was a genius!!!
Anyway lucky that you have such a beautiful bag, I'm jealous Albertina!
Such a beat story! If only I drank champagne enough that I needed a special bag for it! What a life!
ReplyDeleteAnd you would never guess you have had it all this time. Just one of the reasons I love fashion.
ReplyDeleteI wish we lived in a world that required a special champagne bag! You should bring back the trend with the gorgeous LV bag.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty, pretty picture!!! Louis Vuitton is such a classic, I loved learning about the uses for their bags!!
ReplyDeleteLol. I have mine tucked away as we'll but now that I know it's true purpose, it's about to be dusted off and toted about - with champagne or some wine at the very least! When the cops pull me over for this infraction I'll share the article of its origins. Lol
ReplyDeleteWho knew!! I love the idea and want one now! Sadly I'm not sure there is anything in my closet cool enough for that kind of revival!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and a great story! I had to share your photo with my readers today on my blog. I'm sure they will love it and your blog as much as I do! Happy Weekend!
