Normally on Man Bag Monday, we highlight a single men’s accessory that we love. This week, we have the pleasure of bringing you detailed shots of the accessories from the recent Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 runway show, from the bags all the way down to the shoes.

There are also some scarves and watches thrown in for good measure, but as with the Vuitton’s women’s shows, the leather goods are the real stars of the show. And predictably, they’re excellent: Sharp and modern with a strong base in traditional design, which is exactly the type of thing that men go for on the luxury mass market. There’s a reason that Vuitton continues to grow by leaps and bounds every year; the brand knows its customers. Check out all 20 pictures after the jump.

For the past few years, Louis Vuitton has been on such a great roll with resort collections, and for good reason. The brand’s identity is built around the idea of luxury travel, so it follows naturally that it would be particularly suited to a season that came about out of the need for pre-season travel goods for those who have the money and flexibility to escape the winter weather in less exotic locales.
I like the perforated leather and the blue doctor’s bag.
Louis Vuitton is never on my radar. For some reason, I am thinking that those bags are not really special. It would have to be special in order for me to shell out that kind of money
Vuitton, in partnership with longtime muse and current aesthetic collaborator Sophia Coppola, have dreamed up a grand Parisian adventure from the back of a scooter for Louis Vuitton Resort 2012. Because of Coppola’s involvement, the bags include several colorful versions of her popular satchel, but the real standouts were the leopard print helmets. I wonder if LV will make any bags in that pattern? A girl can home. More pictures after the jump.

The introduction of a new Louis Vuitton Speedy is always cause for celebration among handbag fiends, and we think that this particular bag will be of wide interest. The Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandoulière is similar to the monogram Speedy that we all know and love, but it brings with it the thoroughly modern addition of an integrated shoulder strap. Optional straps have long been available for purchase to clip onto the traditional Speedy’s handle attachments, but this dedicated strap brings with it a design logic that is lacking in a simple add-on.

Itching to see this Speedy in action? Of course you are, which is why Vuitton and Caroline Sieber put together a catalog of shots with the Speedy Bandoulière out and about on a sunny day in London. We have those shots, plus a price list for the new bag, after the jump. Or if you’d like to skip straight to buying, the bags are available now via Vuitton.com.
The 25 with a strap is a little ridiculous in my opinion. But it looks good with the 40. It’s perfect for the women who find the keepall too big.

How different is this from just buying the strap from your existent Speedy? You mentioned that the “dedicated strap brings with it a design logic that is lacking in a simple add-on”. But from the pictures I can’t really tell the difference.
