Louis Stewart Gray Suede Backpack

Sandra Rose March 26, 2010

Last week I told you about the Louis Stewart Collection line of high end custom made bags that’s about to take over the streets. Designer Louis Stewart worked at Louis Vuitton for a year before leaving to start his own line of pricey bags. The bags aren’t available in stores yet. But you can order your own custom made piece by visiting the website.

A couple of days ago, Louis Stewart sent me a gray suede backpack from their line (my friend is modeling it above). I get compliments on that bag every where I go — even in the Louis Vuitton store! The bags are in high demand right now amongst NFL and NBA players.

I saw a man last night at the Tyler Perry WDIGMT premiere with a custom gator Louis Stewart duffle bag. So word is getting out. The line ranges from $2,500 and up.

More after the break!

Sandra, where’s your video? Don’t you have to appear in an infomercial to get the hook up?

Either she is really tiny or that bag is huge! It looks big enough to use as a baby carrier!

Black people will buy anything that cost too much just to say that they have it

LOL at the following line and i quote ” A couple of days ago, Louis Stewart sent me a gray suede backpack from their line (my friend is modeling it above).”

OK….yeah

Maybe it’s just me….but I can’t justify paying $2500+ for some regular looking ass bags! I mean them things dont come with a more decorative pattern? Some Swarovski crystals? Beads? Bedazzled jewels? Spikes? Prongs? Hell, does it have a secret compartment that pops out with a password like some 007 sh*t? I mean…like Kanye said: “Whats the basis?”
–
He’s not a tried & true fashion house like Chanel, Gucci or Hermes. That’s just ole “Louis from down the street. Remember? Dude that used to always have a nice backpack?! Yeah! HIM!”
–
I’ma need him to get real with his prices and his $15 dollar YouTube commercials. Maybe he should start his bags around $250…..or $25 at Target.

I dunno…..

Girl bye, I will buy something similar at Tarjet!
I suggest Vivica do the same since she is peddling bags on the youtube from Cracker Barrel.

so I guess it’s cool to walk around with a bookbag on now…

I don’t necessarily side with everyones comments today. He may be black, but he was good enough to design for Louis Vitton thenI believe he’s good enough to design his own bags and sell them for his going price. This is why our Black designers don’t do better yall. We have to support them!
ms.truth

and who is Louis Stewart?? I always think people talking about Louis Vuitton…how he just come out of nowhere charging $2500 for a BOOKBAG.
DivaPT

@9 have you seen any white people with this yet because i havent and maybe its because there not as stupid as the nba players and rappers who will buy anything regular that bag has no style
http://chokolatemilk.blogspot.com Choco

I hate fads and the fact that everyone has one will mos def deter me not to mention the stupid price tag and me not giving to f’s about who Louis Stewart is-Sandra stop riding his jock…
Daisy

@Lady I dont support any coture high end designers I want a pair of CLs/red bottoms but if I ever get a pair they will be on a damn good sale or off e bay

I am all about supporting black businesses(when they do things decent and in order that is) I broke my neck to try and support Rachel Roy when she hit Macys but I didnt see anything that appealed to me.

Wish I could afford some Tracey Reese as well her dresses are cute some of them.

@6 You are so right. No way am I following into that mental trap of stupidity. I will dump that money in my IRA, before I pay that kind of money for a “book bag” that’s just beyond silly to me.
CHARBEE1

Wow some of you are going extra hard on the black doing what YT’S have done for years. So I think we should let him have his shine….But them damn prices ar freakin nuts.

Okay, how old r we again??
LilMissRed

ooo if they like it.. I lubbbs it.. I cant afford a $2500 bag currently tho I’m juss sayin
ReadTheBlog

I didn’t know Rachey Roy was Black? But Daisy, I agree. Just cause it black owned and operated doesn’t mean it’s quality.
http://chokolatemilk.blogspot.com Choco

Rachel Roy is not black…
And no one is going hard on Louis ppl are simply saying Sandra is giving these bags way to much shine
CorporateHoodB-tch

I agree…just cuz it’s black doesn’t make it quality.
However, if anybody plans to blow $2500 on a backpack…I wish they would do it with a black owner.
Now, as with any high end company…if the product falls apart…I want a good refund/exchange with good customer service policy in place.
Daisy

@RTB I consider Rachel a woman of color but I cld be wrong

Bump the Bags, your friend is HAWT!!! :yea:
SoulWithSass

@DivaPT

No-I haven’t and you are right…they do lack style. There’s nothing about them that would make me go “ooooohhh!!” Theere’s no pizazz, no shine, no drama, no nothing! LOL!

And I do agree with supporting our Black designers, I really do. But if something is plain…it’s just plain and not worth my money! Same thing for the White fashion houses. Gucci, Alexander McQueen and Tracy Reese (Black) have put out some things where I’ve been like “If only I had the money” and they’ve also put out some things where I’ve said: “Not EVEN if I DID have the money!” I don’t discriminate. If it’s hot, it’s hot…if it’s plain & boring…well…

I’m all for supporting black folks (wait he is black right?) Anyway, lets not get carried away with the prices and as someone else said, the cheap Youtube informercials.

Lord knows I can spend money frivouslously too… but cmon now.
ms.truth

I think this is where I’m different from a lot of other females in Atlanta…I don’t need my purse, bag, whatever to say how much money I have…nor anything else. The main ones flaunting stuff are the many ones that got barely got a pot to piss in. People let material things define themselves too much these day. I’m good on that!

@ LADYWOODS

i dont think its about supporting black. but hes no tom ford. tom ford designed for gucci and u knew his name.

so what did he design for LV? he could have been a zipper designer for all i know.

i dislike the bags because of the videos, the z-list celebs he tries to get to promote them, knowing damn well he gave them away for free. and they just ugly. they look like leather jansports.

no one wants that crap because its whack. people know quality when they see it. and that’s not quality. its just store bought fabrics made into the same patterns over and over again. they arent even nice styles.

he probably dont even sew them himself. probably has some little chinese lady in the back busting a sweat trying put this sh*t together.

louis needs to try again.
free

i peeped the website and there is nothing unique about the styles. the ladies styles are really kinda knockoffs.
ajonesy

@ free. exactly. those bags are corny. he cant be the “new thing” by making whats already out there.

he looks like he got a pattern from jo-ann fabrics.

Sandra when u first talked about this guy YOU said he wouldn’t give out free bags but now he sent u one. He must not b sellin all like dat and isn’t suede out of season now?

If these bags weren’t Status Official, millionaires would not be putting in their orders for them. That is all.

**************************************************

He sent me a bag in lieu of cash for my write ups on his line. It just so happened that I really like the line. That’s legal as long as I disclose that I received compensation. He does not give out free bags.

Even though his name is Louis i think he should have gone with another name for his line because when i see “Louis” written, I automatically think of LV. I can already see some of these celebs shouting out “look at my louie bags” (even though his name is pronounces Lewis).
ajonesy

@ SR

I think “Status Official” is only relative to where u live. Lets be real. You seem to think the ATL is fashion forward. But trust me it’s not.

And the term “millionaires” is subjective. Outside of the ball players and one or 2 rappers shown. None were millionaires.

c’mon son. fame doesn’t equal fortune.

Sorry but I can’t take him seriously AT ALL. He has a GMAIL account linked to his website…really gmail? How TACKY! The bags are also WACK…

@ Sandra Rose
If u can get u some free bags, do u boo!! They know they love the hook up too so idk why they are hating. And besides, like u said, u are helping him out by posting his products on ur blog so it really aint free. They are cute bags though, but I wont be paying for one.

@ NYC

Since you’re using Dwight’s gravi you should have said “How dreadful”! That is all.
biglegs36

I am not a flashy purse chik. I have coach purses, but they are just the plain ole leather ones and most of them from the coach outlet or Von Maur or Macys. They will mark a coach down in a min here in Nap. I also have two gucci purses. I am mean the old skool ones(pig skin leather) bought one off of ebay for $40 bucks, and the other I got from my great aunt. It was in her closet collecting dust from the eigthies. I can’t see myself paying more then $200 for a purse.

Ummm whatever. She is helping him by advertising for him. DUH!!!! And regular Joes might not be interested in buying these bags (such as myself) but celebrities do read this blog and some will buy stuff just cause they see the nxt celebrity with it. Im sure Sandra Rose knows that she has a diverse audience so everything she posts might not necessarily be meant for your particular entertainment…

I agree somewhat. It’s no different than rocking a monogrammed LV with your Hanes sweatsuit to Wal-Mart, IMO. I’d rather rock a hand-made, well stitched duffle (he can keep the back pack) through the airport than a hideous Coach bag ANY day. Gosh I hate all of those gigantic ‘C’s. They are ugly to me, lol.

Rachel Roy is bi-racial.
shannon04

I just refuse to copy and do what everyone else is doing. I agree that money could be used to invest in something or be put toward something worthwile. I have never followed the latest trends or styles cause I never want to walk around looking like everyone else. (robots)
Dhoward1913

I guess that I am just not impressed with them. I like LisaRay’s the blue and white ones. But I wouldn’t stop traffic to get one. I have a few Coach purses, a Gucci and a Prada; not because I saw other folks with them but because I liked them. I guess when you are a grown up thinking about mortgage payments, college funds, retirement, and things of that nature a 2,500 backpack seems a bit extreme! But that’s just me…….
shannon04

@Dhoward1913…..I agree
msdanielle

with the prices set he knows who his target market is, and for them the price tag may not be extreme. he isn’t trying to target the general public. i have researched him, and he indeed came up with designs (bag designs) for LV.

i really hate the mentality some of you have, but i figure if you’ve carried this type of mentality for as long as you’ve been alived it would be pointless for me to discuss it.

i do want to comment on the “black people will buy anything” comment…there are tons of other celebrities white, black, etc who purchase these types of items because they can & have the ability to afford them.

what happen to the good ole days, when you threw your stuff in a grocery bag and kept it moving. As hard as times are people are still wasting money on foolish ish. I see foreclosures in the near future. How you doing? !!!!!

any man carrying a bag and not boarding a plan to a different city is extremely HUD…. Just my opinion.
