Everyone brings home souvenirs from Tokyo.

I brought home a masterpiece.

This is the Louis Vuitton Speedy P9 "Paris to Tokyo" and it may be one of the most unique Speedys Louis Vuitton has ever created.

While every other P9 is made from leather, this one is is made from a luxurious dark pink satin, a material almost never used on a travel bag because it's so delicate and difficult to work with. That alone makes it a true collector's piece.

The amazing emroidery artwork celebrates the connection between Paris, where Louis Vuitton was born, and Tokyo, one of the world's great luxury capitals. Every detail tells part of the story. A Louis Vuitton trunk overflowing with travel treasures. Vintage-inspired luggage labels and padlocks. Medals featuring Pharrell Williams and Nigo, whose creative partnership inspired the collection. The design captures the spirit of travel, craftsmanship, and discovery that has defined Louis Vuitton for more than 170 years.

For me, it became the perfect souvenir from an unforgettable trip to Japan. Every time I look at it, I'll remember walking through Ginza, visiting the incredible Louis Vuitton stores in Tokyo, meeting amazing client advisors, experiencing Japanese hospitality, and finding a piece that I knew I would probably never come across again.

The best souvenirs don't sit on a shelf collecting dust.

They bring you back to a place, a moment, and a memory every time you see them.

This one will always remind me of Japan.

Wonder if popularity in men’s bags will rise with the world cup and all???

Looks like my Maxi Kelly (5 feet) in the pic…. It’s definitely not a Birkin, lol…

Good morning, Bag Boys!

Just wanted to start the day by saying how grateful I am for this community. We may be strangers scattered around the world, but our shared love of bags and the stories behind them has created something pretty special.

I hope today brings you a great pickup, a great deal, a great conversation—or simply a great day. Wishing each of you happiness, good health, and plenty of reasons to smile.

The best bags in this group isn’t what’s on our shelves—it’s the people behind the collections. Grateful for all of you.

Thanks for making this one of my favorite corners of the internet. Have an amazing day, everyone!

Not my bag. A birthday present for 22 year old daughter. With her dogs portrait painted on it.

While everyone is watching the World Cup I’m watching the bags the players are carrying.

What a great time to be a bag boy!

How many of you seen Hamilton? Available to pre-order all i can imagine hearing playing from this radio is ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ScINbiDDos

Some bags carry your things. Others carry a story. Because “It” can’t fit very much.

Playfully titled The It Can, this compact and nostalgic design belongs to the Resort Emotional capsule. It is crafted from Monogram Miroir canvas, displaying the Louis Vuitton signature with a graphic and colorful finish. Embellished with a silver-toned chain that can be removed if desired, it is sized to fit a small card holder or pack of gum or AirPods.

I need to make it a little longer so bought an extra belt chain. But may get a replacement top handle from my trio Messenger to make it longer.

The bag also works as well a bag charm.

PS I have certain people in this group to thank for my, how do you say, passion? obsession? to upgrade my bag charm game.

The Loewe 180th Anniversary Lion Puzzle.

Created to celebrate 180 years of Loewe, this special edition reimagines the iconic Puzzle Bag with an incredible handcrafted leather intarsia lion. Every panel is meticulously cut and assembled, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship that have made Loewe one of the world’s great leather houses.

I love collecting pieces that tell a story, and this one certainly does. The lion isn’t just a beautiful design—it also pays tribute to the Loewe name itself.

Welcome to the collection.

While Hermès is best known for iconic bags like the Birkin and Kelly, the Équiper represents a different side of the house—technical, functional, and unmistakably modern.

Inspired by cycling culture, it combines lightweight performance materials with the craftsmanship that has defined Hermès for nearly two centuries. The result is a messenger bag that’s equally at home on city streets, while traveling, or as an everyday carry.
What I appreciate most is that it doesn’t scream for attention. There are no oversized logos or flashy hardware. It’s the kind of bag that those who know, know. lol. That’s so unlike me :)

It’s actually been on my dream list since I first saw it on Instagram last year (screenshot attached), and when I spotted it on display at the Tokyo Ginza boutique, I was honestly nervous to even ask if it was available for sale.

I love the outside pockets for quick access. And unlike a Kelly Messenger the bag is super easy to get stuff inside and out.

Luxury isn’t always about being noticed. Sometimes it’s about carrying something that is beautifully made, thoughtfully designed, and built to be used.
This one is definitely staying in the rotation.

And I think it gets noticed!!

Walking through Bloomingdales they had a ReBag display and I saw this Birkin 35 from 2012. Thought it was FIRE but when they took it out of the cabinet it was less red than I thought, more coral. Did not get. But will never forget it!!!

When the Louis Vuitton Dolphin bag first came out, I didn’t get it.  
But now? I understand.
It is whimsical, unexpected, playful. And I see a lot of that theme in this group.  
We are having fun with this stuff.
And dolphins are special to me. My daughter loves all ocean creatures, especially dolphins. My son loves the Miami Dolphins football team.
That’s the genius of fashion and Louis Vuitton: taking something familiar, turning it into an object of fantasy, and making you look twice.
The Dolphin bag isn’t just a bag. It’s sculpture. It’s conversation. It’s fashion having fun.
I am very happy I decided to get this  and it was still available

I was having fun with ChatGPT and decided to create LV Style Hot Stamps that represent the different parts of my life:

🏡 Signature Real Estate Finder – representing my career helping buyers and sellers navigate the Florida real estate market.

🥊 Boca Raton Championship Wrestling (BRCW) – celebrating the wrestling promotion we’ve built and the incredible fans, wrestlers, and events that make it special.

👜 LVXLDRIP – my passion project dedicated to luxury fashion, watches, travel, and the culture surrounding them.

Each stamp tells a different story, but together they represent what matters most to me: business, entertainment, and personal passion.

Any idea how I can have these made?

Which one is your favorite?

Got Milk?

Ok at first like everyone else I’m sure I thought this was absolutely ridiculous.

But when I saw it in person, it was love at first sight. Should I get it???

Recently treated to an exclusive preview of Louis Vuitton Men’s FW 2026, offering a firsthand look at some of the House’s most exciting upcoming pieces.

The standout for me was the new Dandy Duffel—a sophisticated travel bag with an innovative extra-wide opening that makes packing and access incredibly practical without sacrificing style.

I also got to see the oversized Nil, a bold reinterpretation of a classic silhouette, along with the stunning Reflective Speedy P9, which takes one of Louis Vuitton’s most coveted bags into an entirely new dimension.

And then there’s what may become a future icon: the Louis Vuitton Boombox. Equal parts fashion, nostalgia, and statement piece, it perfectly captures Pharrell Williams’ vision of blending culture, music, and luxury.

Always grateful for opportunities like this to experience the future of fashion before it reaches the boutiques.

I just happened to be in Kyoto during the preview of Delvaux Delvaux’s ‘CRAFT BEYOND BORDERS’ collection.

Like they were literally doing this huge show there and I was just watching from my phone in my hotel room.

If was at Shōkadō Garden Art Museum is in the city of Yawata, just south of Kyoto. It was filled with Belgian tapestries being displayed, smoke effects and music. It was a moment immersed in a dreamlike atmosphere.

I saw this bag and immediately messaged my SA in NYC. They looked into ordering it for me (meanwhile, I stopped at every Delvaux in Japan to ask about it).

The description: “Harmonizing with the high-quality leather are Kyoto textiles and Kanazawa gold leaf. The red weaving was layered with lacquer, creating a beautiful subtle gradation. It was a Fusion of Belgian and Japanese craftsmanship ✨”

Turns out the bag is a 1 of 1 and already sold out.

Would’ve been an amazing souvenir from Japan. And would’ve been a great bag.

Would love opinions on whether one looks substantially better than the other. Any thoughts appreciated! FYI I’m not interested in these exact bags, this is just for sizing. Thanks!

Actually, Hermes did have bags for sale, but I did not like them (see previous post). And to be honest LAX on the way to Japan had a Sac a Depeche that I really wanted. The Hermès Flagship in Ginza sold me a bag that i will unbox next week. And Osaka offered me the HAC cargo so I can’t quite say I struck out at Hermes. It’s just that Louis is always waiting with arms open.

There are at least 5 bags on my wish list that I could have picked up as they have so many Flagships in Japan. But i couldn’t carry that much prior to the airport and I was really hoping they would have the Dolphin or milk box or it can.

And I really liked this Hot Stamp!!!

I never did the hot stamp thing before but recently added my initials to my favorite speedy and brought some luggage tags to Japan with me.

Anyway I got this demoflage trunk with the HND airport hot stamp, and I am flying!!!
