It Bag: Sofia Coppola for Louis Vuitton.

Some of you may know by now that I love bags with dual straps and multiple ways to carrying, in particular, I love bags with short top handles, that allow me to hook them over my arm, and a long adjustable strap for cross-body slinging. It's a hard task finding affordable but good quality bags in Singapore, not to mention chic-looking ones. Just makes me miss the States so much where there's so much to buy and where my taste in clothing and accessories really belong.

Getting back onto my topic of the "It (not information technology, please) bag", I've found another drool-worthy bag, definitely one that I'd like to get my hands on maybe someday - The SC bag by Louis Vuitton, specifically designed by Sofia Coppola, renowned director, screenwriter, actress and producer. Nothing screams chic louder than a bag designed by such a successful woman who has achieved so much in life. FYI, she directed the movies The Virgin Suicides (starring Kirsten Dunst and Josh Harnett) and Lost in Translation (starring Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray). On top of that, she was the first American woman to win the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

And so, here's the SC bag in Monogram:

Probably resembles the Speedy to some of you but I personally prefer this style for it's more casual, duffle-bag like length and shape. Less "boxy", perhaps?
I like it more in the calf leather, which comes in Cobalt (greyish-black), Chocolat (dark brown), Creme (slightly off-white) and Jasper (a very classy shade of red), my favourite being Chocolat (see below).

I love how it looks as a cross-body bag. So effortlessly chic.

It looks so special in suede, making it hard for me to decide whether I prefer it in suede or just plain calf leather. These come in two pretty colours: Chataigne and Asphalt.
