Currently coveting the Louis Vuitton Flat Zip Pochette - PurseBlog

There are few brands from which I will happily buy monogrammed pieces, and is one of them. It’s not that I actively seek outlet cheap Mulberry Bags sale LV out, but somehow, it seems to seek me out – Louis Vuitton just does that to me. The brand has reinvented its monogram in so many ways that it never feels old to me, which is a pretty neat trick on the part of the brand’s designers.

The Neverfull and Noe came together to create the Louis Vuitton Noefull MM - PurseBlog

will outlet cheap Mulberry Bags sale never let us down when it comes to finding a way to add in its iconic monogram logo celine phantom luggage onto each new season of bags. It’s part of the genius behind the brand; the company has a knack for continuously showing us its logo on anything and everything they create. Maybe you aren’t into the logo, but clearly millions of people are, and that’s clear from the massive sales numbers and easily recognizable monogram. Personally, I tend to stay away from the logo, but when LV does it well, it lures me into thinking I need a seasonal piece that is every bit as “Louis Vuitton” as it is trendy.

The Louis Vuitton Noefull MM caught my attention with Celine Phantom Bags its ikat floral print and seamless combination of the Neverfull and Neoe bags from the brand. The drawstring closure allows the bag to expand to resemble the ever popular Neverfull tote, but with a pinch of the drawstring, you end up with another classic, the Noe. When the two come together, it makes for a chic marriage of the two classics, dubbed the Noefull.

Fashion Week Handbags Louis Vuitton Spring 2013 - PurseBlog

If you’re a Damier fangirl, you’re in luck. Prefer ‘s monogram canvas or regular leather? It might be a tough six months for you, if you’re a Louis Vuitton customer. Louis Vuitton Spring 2013 was largely a riff on the company’s classic check print, with the square motif repeated over and over again in sequins, fur, piece leather and suede. There were a few solid-colored bags with contrasting trim, but they weren’t the story of the day.

The Paul Smith Bags other important element of this Vuitton collection is color, and specifically how few colors were celine phantom luggage used. The tone of the yellows, creams, browns, greens and greys in the show reminded me of celine mini luggage bags a 1970s middle-American kitchen, all Harvest Gold appliances and off-white vinyl chair cushions. It’s certainly a palette worth exploring (and one that can be used beautifully in skilled hands), but the finish of the bags leaves something to be desired.

Every season I wonder what will create. I know I won’t like celine bags UK everything, but I can count on Louis Vuitton to make a few bags that are absolutely lust-worthy, it’s just what they do. When we shared a closer look at their , I remember not being entirely impressed.

Five Reasons to Own a Louis Vuitton Neverfull Tote - PurseBlog

One of the most interesting parts of this job is seeing how people arrive at our site. You guys get here in a zillion different ways, but one of the most persistent is your interest in the , in all of its many sizes and incarnations. And really, I can’t blame you – the Neverfull is a foundational piece in the most important handbag line in the world, and it’s so versatile that it can be a useful wardrobe addition to almost anyone.

I’m getting ahead of myself, though. It seems logical that a lot of the Paul Smith Bags people visiting our site in pursuit of the Neverfull are trying to make a purchase decision of some sort, and because we like to consider ourselves a service-y bunch, we thought we’d put together a handy guide as to why, exactly, the Neverfull is such a smart way to go when looking to buy a good take-anywhere tote.

It really is never full

That might be a slight exaggeration, but the point stands – no matter which size you opt for, you’re going to be able to fit more in a Neverfull than you’d expect. Because the sides aren’t rigid celine bags UK and the shape is fairly loose, the bag conforms to the size of your belongings. With the biggest (GM) size, I’m pretty sure I could fit anything I ever really want to carry anywhere.

It comes in a million versions

Like the Louis Vuitton Speedy, the Neverfull is a foundation piece in the enormous Louis Vuitton line. celine phantom luggage That means that when it comes time for Vuitton to do one of its world-famous artist collaborations, the Neverfull is almost always on the list of bags that get the treatment. The works of artists like Stephen Sprouse, Yayoi Kusama and Takashi Murakami have all graced the bag, and that’s on top of the myriad permanent and seasonal iterations available at any given time. Whether you’re in the market for a collector’s piece or a basic Monogram Canvas or Damier model to start your collection, the Neverfull can scratch that itch.

All of the versions celine mini luggage bags are durable

Longtime Louis lovers don’t even need to read this one, because they already know – Vuitton’s treated canvas products are Celine Phantom Bags well-nigh indestructible. I have 20-year-old Vuitton pieces that still take a beating like a champ. Some customers have reported issues with the handle glaze on the Damier Ebene version specifically, but Vuitton stands behind its pieces very well – all the mentions of issues that I could find on our Forum also included details on how the product was either exchanged in the store or repaired by the brand. That’s a lot more than a lot of brands will do for customers, unfortunately. (Although it’s fortunate if you’re looking to buy a Vuitton bag.)

It’s a great way to start a Vuitton collection

Depending on size, basic monogram Neverfulls will run you between $800 and $900. Considering how enormously expensive Louis Vuitton bags get when you start to look at leathers (and, god forbid, exotics), the Neverfull is an excellent value and a great place to start a collection and find out if you like a brand’s products enough to save up and branch out within the line. It’s something that can be carried every day and that will serve a lot of purposes – that’s exactly where you want to start.

The Neverfull is totally reversible

Somehow, I didn’t know about the Neverfull’s biggest feature until recently. Sick of the monogram? Just want to switch things up? Need a different color? Flip the bag inside out, problem solved. Few designs give you that level of versatility, and that’s on top of how functional the bag is to begin with.

So what are you waiting for?

Timberland achieves industry-leading emissions reduction

The Timberland Company, an outdoor footwear and apparel company and environmental steward, announced that it has achieved an industry-leading 38 percent absolute reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, as of the end of 2010. In 2006, Timberland established a five-year, 50 percent reduction goal for absolute emissions associated with its owned and operated facilities and employee air travel. Since then, the company has been significantly cutting its emissions.

"While the net result black timberland boots for 2010 was positive, we fell short of meeting our 50 percent reduction goal. However, we are still planning to achieve this goal by 2015, and to go even further," said Betsy Blaisdell, Sr. Manager, Environmental Stewardship. "2010 was not a typical year. The rebound of our business resulted in an increase in employee travel, and record temperatures, both highs and lows, contributed to increased energy use."

"Timberland's achievement of a 38 percent reduction in absolution emissions and its future goal to reduce 50 percent of emissions by 2015 surpasses the expectation Ceres set forth in our Roadmap for Sustainability -- further demonstrating the company's commitment to lead the way towards a sustainable economy," stated Mindy Lubber, President of Ceres, a national coalition of investors, environmental and fur timberland boots public interest groups working with companies to address climate change. Timberland's Climate Counts score also improved in 2010, moving up to 86 from 82 timberland store in 2009. This score keeps Timberland at the second highest rated of all 150 companies scored.

Timberland's Reduction Strategy
Over the past five years, Timberland has honed its emissions reduction strategy to achieve the greatest benefit for investments made. The company takes a three-pronged approach for its owned and operated facilities:

• Energy efficiency upgrades -- such as retrofitting facilities with LED lighting and employing LEED standards for store design
• Purchasing renewable energy -- in 2010, 13 percent of Timberland's energy came from renewable sources
• Reductions in employee travel -- the company encourages employees to seek practical alternatives when considering their travel needs

Timberland has significantly reduced its energy demand and emissions for its owned and operated facilities and employee air travel. Meeting the carbon neutral goal required an offset purchase for the emissions it wasn't able to eliminate in 2010. The cheap timberlands shoes purchased offsets have been used to support the development timberland boots sale of a wind farm in Shangyi County, China, which was chosen because of the desire to find ways to reduce the emissions associated with Timberland's footwear supply chain, which is mainly based in China and Southeast Asia. "Beginning in 2010, Timberland began investing more resources in the direct management of carbon in our supply chain. The company will pursue this strategy, versus large offset purchases, going forward," Blaisdell said.

Timberland's commitment to climate change stems from its long-held values of environmental stewardship and the belief that reducing risk, cutting energy costs, and meeting consumer demand for products with smaller carbon footprints is smart business.
