Louis Vuitton touches base with everything that an elegant lady needs to style up. We’ve been harping about outstanding LV bags frequently. Today let’s take a fine look at the French fashion house’s latest Emprise collection.
Comprising of jewelry and watches, this line is inspired by the brand’s heritage, particularly the iconic monogrammed trunk. Emprise has been introduced during New York pre-fall appointments, unlike Louis Vuitton’s practice of unveiling new jewelry pieces at the end of January for Paris couture appointments.
“The idea was to take the essence of the trunk and design it through a watch and a whole collection of jewelry,” says Hamdi Chatti, Vuitton who is a senior vice president of watches and jewelry.
Wooing New Yorkers specifically, Chatti also announced that the collection has been created for American divas and conceptualized by the idea of a mighty woman.
The highlights of the Emprise collection are four square-faced watches. Dressed with satin or leather straps, some embossed with a grosgrain ribbon pattern, these watches will be available in steel as well as gold. Those keen to up the bling quotient can opt for diamond studded versions too. Just like the protective characteristic of a LV trunk, this line also emphasizes the same feature in its designs. Corner caps and notches imitate nail studs in both the watch models. While the steel edition features a dial decorated to mimic the lines of Parisian wood paneling, the gold version sports a quilted face that imitates the protective padding within a trunk.
The high-end fashion label also enfolds the protective element in to the jewelry from the collection. Set in a cage like design, amethyst, citrine, tourmaline, morganite and the likes make enchanting pendants dangling from long chains.
Emprise line up rounds off with rings, bangles, earrings and pendants in diamonds, set yellow and white gold.
While the diamond studded yellow gold watch sports a $19,900 tag, the steel and white diamond edition starts from $8,750. The dazzling jewelry collection ranges from $1,000 for a white gold ring to $150,000 for a white gold and diamond pendant necklace flaunting a 28.08-carat aquamarine stone.
