LOUIS VUITTON'S NEW MONOGRAM ETOILE COLLECTION

What do you think of the new Monogram Etoile (French for "star") Collection??? No doubt it's called Etoile due to the star-shaped quilting, but is this a star in your book??? I, personally, think it's aaaiiight. The quilting adds something different, another dimension to the traditional monogram leather, but also looks a little distracting, pouffy and reminiscent of a quilted comforter. In all honesty, I'd rather get a regular monogram LV bag at a fraction of the cost. Besides, we all know the first name that pops into our heads when it comes to quilted leather handbags (Chanel, duh.) and it's not Louis Vuitton. Don't get me wrong; with all the fabulous traditional choices, and the great revamps Louis Vuitton has had (like Graffiti, Monogram Multicolore, and Monogramouflage

), I'm a huge fan, but this collection is just eh.
