The Louis Vuitton Mahina that we’ve spotted before on Ayesha Thapar and Farah Khan was one of those LV rarities, we actually liked the bag! But LV has recently released a new version of the bag this time in patent leather…
Called the ‘Surya XL’ it apparently pays homage to the Hindu sun god and to quote them directly, the website goes onto say, “Name pays homage to the Hindu sun god who rides through the heavens in his triumphal chariot, inspiring the glossiness and brightness in the Surya’s supple patent leather”!
The connection/inspiration seems contrived at its best, the bag, a monogrammed patent nightmare at its worst.

oh dear…I just KNOW people are going to be offended by this 🙁
well, I’m not easily offended sooooooo I must stand by my beloved Marc Jacobs and say that I acutally LIKE this 🙂
…because I like patent
Hey how appropriate this post is, coming after Chath Puja – for worshipping te Sun God !
hate it hate it.. and the bag is not exotic because it is named Surya.. blah! the things they do to make it sell..
you know, strip away the name and material, and i actually like the shape of the bag and the way it’s slouchy and comfortable. but the nomenclature is so superficial, typical exoticising the east shit.
yeah don’t really see the connection… but I still like the bag! Which is pretty surprising, considering the fact that I DETEST LV.
i think they called it surya bcos they know how much the socialites in india love their LV. I live in London and I don’t even like LV but I’ve got some of their bags to use when I’m in India as it makes a difference to how people treat you in certain circles. it’s quite sad.
i like the bag
I’m in china right now and dont have to say why i’m getting queasy looking at this bag!! 🙂
I am sick of patent. Hope this trend will go away soon. I like the silhouette of the bag, though.
OooOOohhhh-Aahhhhhhhh-Uhhhhhhh–Ughhhhhlyyyyy!!!!

In which stores can I find louis vuitton and Jimmy Choo bags in USA
TumHum,
It depends on which state you are in but check their sites for specific stores in the state that you live in. LV is also available at Saks and Choo is available at Bergdorfs and Neimans.
Thanks Payal…but i never saw LV bags in SaksFithAve…either online or in store 🙁 though if i browse there website I can see some Choo bags and shoes
TumHum,
It would be best to visit the individual sites to find out where they retail at in the particular state you live in. 😉 Most of the Saks stores have an LV store adjoinging the store too. You won’t find the LV inventory online at Saks because they work separately.
well thanks …finally bought the LV i was looking for in Saks 🙂
