Louis Vuitton Backpacks - Gear For The Elite Urban Traveller

Louis Vuitton has just launched a new backpack - the Christopher, and I was in Singapore when it launched. Distinctly different from conventional messenger bags, the new men's bag had just been released in Singapore and Australia after an earlier debut in the US. But even in Singapore, the bag is not in all Louis Vuitton outlets, but only at the Marina Bay Sands flagship Boutique. Here is a peek at the Christopher bag, plus a comprehensive review along with earlier Louis Vuitton backpack models, so you can decide whether this backpack is for you. The Louis Vuitton Christopher in Monogram print, available now at the Louis Vuitton Boutique at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. Carry all your urban gear in Louis Vuitton style using this bag. Read on for a comprehensive review. A Louis Vuitton backpack? Sounds rather like an oxymoron, a contradiction of terms - as Louis Vuitton the brand stands for luxury , expensive taste, posh hotels and fabulous accommodations, while backpacking

FitFlop (TM) shoes with the Microwobbleboard (TM) midsole are some of the best shoes you can buy for walking . As a hiker who has ascended many mountains and on many of those climbs having a 40-lb backpack, and as a frequent traveller who has visited many countries and cities and likes to walk far and explore new places and do so mostly on foot, and who for three-plus years had twice-a-week traverses through long stretches of airport terminals and do so every other week, I know how big a difference it is to have great walking shoes.

IWC: How to Turn Back Time on an IWC Perpetual Calendar Luxury Timepiece

For international travellers, turning back the time on their watches is a normal event. Not a problem when you have a GMT watch. But what if you have a higher complication like a Perpetual Calendar? Is it possible to turn back the time on a Perpetual Calendar like an International Watch Company IWC Perpetual Calendar watch? The answer is YES, and this ingenious method will apply to most luxury watch brands. The Rolex GMT 2 in gold and steel, a great watch for international travellers. And the IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar Double Moon in pink gold, a sophisticated complication for watch aficionados. Long distance journeys, and fine mechanical timepieces have long fascinated me. That's why my first expensive watch was a Rolex GMT II stainless steel that can tell the time in three locations simultaneously and can withstand harsh environments like the top of Mount Everest (not that I intend to climb that high) as well as great Ocean depths (okay - yes, I've used my Rolex GM

Louis Vuitton Michael Backpack - Well Built, Very Versatile City & Travel Backpack

Louis Vuitton has maintained it's lead amidst the steep rise in popularity of backpacks in the Singapore work scene by launching distinctive and varied models. So despite the explosion of designs from top luxury brands, all ranging in the thousand dollar mark and over, LV continues to stand out. And with the Michael Backpack, I believe they have one of the best and most versatile design to date. The Louis Vuitton Michael Backpack isn't the latest but I've only seen it in Singapore recently. And it's an exciting addition to LV's range of models. What sets it apart? The sleek and minimalist design exclusively using zippered compartments and no flaps and front straps immediately stands out. You'll note also that it has a narrow width, making it look small and tall. The clean lines match well with the LV Damier Graphite canvass and black full leather accents. The use of bright silver zippers add to the clean look. The trim appearance conceals the fact this is a
