Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.For anyone harbouring a passion for the famous Louis Vuitton monogram bags, the news of a new store opened on Bond Street should be enough to guarantee a complete sell-out of the new range, designed by Marc Jacobs.
The opening party, held slap bang in the middle of British Fashion Week last week, proved to be somewhat of a "who's who" in fashion circles. The swank affair, definitely the party to be seen at, was marked with the proverbial gift - a small leather wrist band imprinted with the date of said fashionable affair.
The store is one of four in London and only the second in the world to hold the exclusive new collection from Marc Jacobs. The classic Damier chequerboard design is the first Vuitton look to undergo a face-lift by minimalist Jacobs. The luxury range includes a mini-vanity box evening bag, pounds 580, and a flat handbag which tucks neatly under your arm, pounds 420.
The clothes are equally desirable in luxurious fabrics like cashmere and butter-soft leather. V-neck jumpers and pedal pushers have become the look for the season when worn by hot model Maggie Riser, the new younger-look face of Louis Vuitton. The store is set to be a turning point for Louis Vuitton, aiming to catch up with the likes of Gucci. From the look of the party, I'd say the two are literally neck and neck.
