November is a great time to get serious about this purchase because, through the month of November, Louis Vuitton will be donating 10% of the purchase price, on select bags, to the American Red Cross!

When you purchase the classic Monogram Canvas Speedy, a Keepall, Noe or Alma bag this month you’ll be contributing to the amazing efforts of the American Red Cross while treating yourself to a fabulous new bag.

One of my favourite bags in the LV line is the Speedy (the Alma comes a close second!) and I have two myself. It’s an all around versatile and stylish bag that can be used and taken just about anywhere.

If you want to invest in a fantastic bag that will look good now and 50 years from now, a Louis Vuitton bag is a terrific choice. Consider getting one for yourself or someone you love for the holiday season.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Cabas Mezzo Tote; $1210
If she needs a tote that will look amazing with just about anything and will also be a ‘workhorse’ type bag, then the Cabas Mezzo Tote would be a perfect choice. The best part about this bag is the natural vachetta leather that deepens in colour over time. The richness of the leather time paired with the Monogram Canvas is the signature LV style.

Louis Vuitton Epi Leather Speedy 30 (black), $1050.00
The famous Speedy, loved by celebrities and stylish girls all over the world, looks even more lush in gorgeous full-grain Epi Leather. The roomy satchel measures 12″ x 8″ and features, polished silver hardware, top zip opening and rolled leather handles. You simply cannot go wrong with this Louis Vuitton bag.

Louis Vuitton Damier Canvas Alma; $1020
The Alma is a beautiful combination of a satchel and tote. It’s elegant, feminine and quite practical. Measuring at 12″ x 9″x 7″, it’s just the right size to take to work or whilst running errands. The Damier Canvas is actually the first print/design by LV and it’s complemented by the smooth ebony leather trim and gold hardware. The interior boasts deep red lining that looks rich against the dark brown.
