Ailleurs Vuitton Summer Collection 2011

 Louis Vuitton goes footloose and fancy-free for the summer months with the light-hearted Ailleurs collection.


 "Ailleurs", French for 'somewhere else' is the trendy new summer 2011 line by Louis Vuitton. The collection is vibrant, funky, chic and casual and makes you want to hit the beach as soon as possible.


 The line is perfect for a tropical vacation along the shores. It features exotic and vivid accessories, sassy dresses and sexy swimsuits.


 The collection is made in collaboration with British artist Pippa Cunningham, who has also designed the Louis Vuitton Cruise Collection 2008 "St. Tropez Galliera".


 Cunningham has painted every picture and then it was given a watercolor effect by the process of silk screening.


 The main attraction of this line are the canvas tote bags which come in two sizes; 'City' and 'Beach', and three amazing prints  'Promenade' (Ville), 'Escale' (Beach) and 'Aventure' (Jungle).


 Promenade conjures up the glamour of the Riviera, of leisurely strolls and intriguing encounters in the shade of tall palm trees. Escale captures the eternal allure of white sand, blue sea and lazy hours spent reading under a brightly coloured beach umbrella. Aventure illustrates the distinctly more exotic appeal of a tropical forest, where monkeys swing playfully amid luxuriant foliage.


The tote prices are US$1430 for the PM, and US$1800 for the GM


















 Balancing the naïve feel of the prints is the sophisticated detailing of the totes, with adjustable handles in grained calf leather, gold metal hardware and the iconic Louis Vuitton Inventeur plaque. Each comes in two sizes – the smaller, PM (15.7″ x 11″ x 6.5″) ideal for the city, the larger, GM (20.4″ x 13.4″ x 8.6″) perfect for the beach.


The Key Holder price is of US$330





















 These adorable metal/resin key holders are the perfect accessories to your Ailleurs totes. They come in three variations which features various vivid & colorful motifs (in addition to a Monogram Flower and Louis Vuitton medal) like a cute parrot for the Jungle, a palm tree for the City, and a beach hut for the Beach.



 Completing the Ailleurs collection, summer sandals contrast the relaxed feel of chunky cork wedges with the elegance of slender straps in a palette of green or blue, while the Aventure print stars on the essentials of a summer wardrobe: a sexy two-piece swimsuit, a sequin-embroidered T- shirt and a strapless dress in cotton and silk – perfect for sashaying.



The price for the Pareo is US$490 






























 The Ailleurs textiles are lightweight and are ideal companions to any summer getaway. The textiles consists of three pieces: an airy Carré and a crinkled Pareo, both available in Villes/Promenade and Plages/Escale prints, and a Beach Towel in the Villes/Promenade print. All are made from 100% cotton.


The Carré`s price is of US$445 

The price for the beach towel is US$900
