Louis Vuitton “Damier Azur Hampstead MM”

I was just talking with Tina about the LV Hampstead’s new appearance and this was one of the rare occassions we actually dissagreed. I simply love the Damier Azur Hampstead and it just didn’t do it for her, she found the original Damier version more alluring and perfect for this shape. I, on the other hand, think that the Damier Azur gave Hampstead a more playful and relaxed look, as opposed to the more serious Damier Hampstead.

I have already mentioned how I love it when designers play with their already established hits. In the post about MJ’s Little Patchwork Stam it was all about the size, and LV decided to give Hampstead a refreshed look for this spring by changing the color scheme. As far as I’m concerned, it worked perfectly. When I first saw the Hampstead MM, I have to say I fell in love with that timeless piece. But as the time passed, my yearning for it kind of diminished. It’s not that I didn’t find it as beautiful as I did before, but it somehow it just faded off my radar slowly. However, now that I’ve seen it in the Damier Azur version, I’ve fallen in love with it all over again and I want it, I want it more than I wanted the original version.

I do have to admit that in comparison to the timeless Damier Hampstead, this one is doesn’t have as much potential for it’s appeal to last. Having said all that, I still think I would pick the Damier Azur Hampstead over the Damier one, or would I? This is a tough choice.. Go for the classic which will never fade, or the revamped, vivaciuos version that might or might not lose it’s appeal some day? I really don’t know.. I wouldn’t complain about having both
