Brb, replacing all our mirrors with this gold Louis V print

Doesn't matter who or where you are, the iconic Louis Vuitton monogram is instantly recognizable and highly coveted ― that's why endlessly diverse brands and creatives have sought out collabs with LV thru the years, from the internationally recognized contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama to prominent streetwear label Supreme.

The monogram carries enough notoriety on its own to dominate style for generations, tho ― and through the years, it seems that each new take on the classic motif by Louis V becomes an instant classic. Enter our latest obsession: the Gold Monogram Miroir Alma.

Named after the Alma Bridge on the River Seine in Paris, the bag is considered to be one of the most feminine and structured of the brand's classic handbag silhouettes. Even tho it looks like it's crafted from solid gold, it's actually genuine leather with a patent finish so lustrous that it creates a mirror-like effect, classically accented by the house's repeating logo. Topped off with gold hardware and rolled leather top-handles, it's the kind of bag that can be cherished for generations to come.

Not surprisingly, the blinged-out bag was an instant hit, and is currently only available pre-owned on eBay and used consignment sites ― and you can expect to still drop a few grand to cop it.
