Louis Vuitton Taps Michelle Williams For Its Latest Ad Campaign - PurseBlog

Celebrity casting choices don’t often catch me by surprise – after all, most designer deck out their future ad girls in the brand’s wares for months before their partnerships are formally announced – but here we have Michelle Williams, starring in the ad campaign for two Fall 2013 Louis Vuitton Bags – the Louis Vuitton W Bag and the Louis Vuitton Capucines Bag.

Louis Vuitton raises prices in hopes of attracting more high-end customers - PurseBlog

As Christina Passariello wrote Paul Smith Bags in a , Louis Vuitton, with its flagging growth and logo-covered bags, now finds itself in the throes of the fashion business’ most baffling paradox – how do you sell bags to as many people as Celine Phantom Bags possible without becoming a company that’s associated with mass-market consumerism instead of rarified luxury? At least right now, LVMH execs think that the solution to that problem might be to raise prices across the board. Vuitton’s growth has slowed in recent months because luxury-hungry consumers in emerging markets like China are becoming rapidly more sophisticated; in essence, they want subtle leather bags instead of the logo-covered canvas pieces that are Vuitton’s bread and butter, in addition to being the brand’s most visible symbol. So how, exactly, might a price hike help?

As Passariello mentions, much of Vuitton’s recent success has been predicated on entry-level luxury consumers’ lust for the brand’s flashy canvas pieces. That group will be the one affected the most by Vuitton’s price-increase strategy because they’re the most price-sensitive segment of Vuitton’s consumer base; in losing some of what the brand seems to consider riff-raff, execs are hoping to gain new customers at the top end of the market. After all, increases its prices constantly (or at least it feels that way) and is growing at record rates, perhaps because the type of customer the brand attracts doesn’t care about an extra $500 on top of a $5,000 purchase. If Vuitton can’t , it seems hell-bent on trying to become its twin.

Hermes, of course, doesn’t have much of an entry-level segment of which to speak, which is part celine bags UK of what makes it attractive to the most cash-flush of luxury consumers. Even celine phantom luggage with the Birkin as celine mini luggage bags in-demand as its ever been, the brand walks the exclusivity-profitability tightrope better than anyone else in the business, and it does so without relying on $190 key pouches to keep the bills paid. Almost no other company can say that, but the second segment of Vuitton’s reported growth strategy – emphasizing its subtler, more expensive leather bags and accessories over its famous canvas – indicates that it’d like to at least attempt to become a similar brand, at least in the eyes of the purchasing public. (Those keychains and card cases, of course, will still be readily available, just at a slightly higher price.)

Vuitton does have some gorgeous, practically logo-free leather options that are often overshadowed by the brand’s more famous, less expensive bags, but is it too late for the brand to shed its image as a logo emporium in favor of something more traditionally luxurious? If you’ve bought LV’s logo bags, does it offend you that the brand no longer wants to court your attention quite as much? Let us know how you feel in the comments.

Nature Needs Heroes kicks off

Building on a rich history of environmental action and innovation that includes planting one million trees in China's Horqin Desert, developing the Earthkeepers line of environmentally-forward products and launching an online "Earthkeepers movement" to motivate environmental behavior change, The Timberland Company announced its biggest and most environmentally-focused marketing campaign yet -- Nature Needs Heroes.

Launching globally over the next several weeks, the campaign showcases Timberland's Earthkeepers collection. Made with materials like recycled rubber and recycled PET (one and timberland boots sale a half plastic bottles are used in each pair of Earthkeepers boots), Earthkeepers product is one of the company's leading and fastest growing product collections. The Nature Needs Heroes campaign also seeks to inspire consumers to consider what actions they might take to be "heroes" for the outdoors themselves.

"This campaign marks the culmination of our work to connect consumers to what we're doing as a company to have a positive environmental impact," explained Jim Davey, Timberland's VP of Global Marketing. "It's our biggest and best effort to date to not just share our own stories and initiatives, but to also engage consumers in a broader effort to care for the environment."

Our Nature Needs Heroes campaign employs outdoor imagery and light-hearted humor to help convey the serious message of environmental accountability -- the notion that even small acts of environmental action make a difference. The campaign is being executed through a variety of channels, including TV and print advertising, 3D displays in select Timberland retail stores worldwide, social media and an interactive microsite.

"We hope the variety of elements in this campaign -- from digital and social to in-store to more traditional media -- might encourage all consumers, no matter where they see us, to be drawn in," said Davey. "We want to give consumers the opportunity to learn more about what Timberland is doing to help protect the outdoors, as well as support fur timberland boots them in taking environmental action themselves -- whether that action is buying a pair of boots or planting a tree."

Specific elements of the Nature Needs Heroes campaign include:

"Lost Bottle" Advertising - Depicts how even small acts can make a difference when one environmentally-heroic moment (recycling a runaway water bottle) becomes an adrenaline-fueled outdoor experience. Television cheap timberlands shoes ads will air in Europe, Asia and North America during high-profile live sports and prime time and late night programs. Print advertising will appear in Europe throughout the timberland store fall.

Nature Needs Heroes Microsite - Playing off the humorously heroic focus of the "Lost Bottle" advertising, the microsite suspends time and takes site visitors into a frozen moment using 360-degree imagery and high definition 3D technology. "The Nature Needs Heroes black timberland boots campaign is the first time a major brand blends this combination of leading-edge technologies to challenge the way audiences can experience a story," said Mads Holst, creative director and managing partner at Holst Digital, the creative agency that designed the microsite.

(At least I think they’re flowers; because of the check print, finding the edges of the forms in photos can celine bags UK be a little dizzying.)

I hold out hope for a future version of this bag without the monograms, but as it stands, the bag has grown on me a bit since I first encountered it. Although it plays on the ever-popular element of flared gussets a la Celine, Vuitton’s designers have done perhaps the best job of any major brand making the look their own, bringing the line of the gussets in well past their traditional celine phantom luggage borders at the edge of a bag’s front panel. I’m still not entirely convinced about the handle attachments, but they do mirror the slanted lines of the bag’s Celine Phantom Bags design quite well.

The bag comes in two sizes, PM and GM – the PM is 13 inches wide, while the GM reaches almost 16. The shape starts at $3,700 for a PM mixture of leather and canvas and tops out at $5,150 for a GM all-leather bag. You’ll be able to shop these bags this fall via Louis Vuitton.

We can’t put a solid ID on LaToya’s Louis Vuitton celine mini luggage bags tote, but we’re guessing it’s a vintage design that’s no longer made.

I went into the shop to purchase a liner for my barbourjacketsaleuk.biz Beaufort, (I didn't think I needed one when it was purchased, I wear tons of layers), and barbour jacket sale the sales person was very helpful. My Beaufort was purchased back in the fall of 2004, when I barbour international jacket was a fresher at university, so it has a snap liner. The sales person said that the new Beaufort changed to a zip in mens barbour jacket liner in 2006 and that they no longer carried the snap-in liner. Once inquiring, the sales person called the outlet to see if they had any, and unfortunately they didn't. Even though I could not purchase a liner, the sales associates were very helpful and kind.

I have been to this Barbour two times now: first to buy a Beaufort and then to purchase a Liddesdale.

The first time was a very good experience with a blonde mid-thirties salesmen I believe was named Scott who answered all of my questions and barbour international jacket helped me look for the right jacket and explained everything very clearly as if I didn't know a thing about Barbour. In short, very very helpful and warm. He also offered me the student discount which was nice since I had no idea there was one.

*However, they were out of the color I wanted so barbourjacketsaleuk.biz I had to settle for a dark olive.

The second time ladies barbour jacket (today) I was met by a younger brown haired man and two awkward blonde saleswomen who seemed to have nothing to do but mens barbour jacket stare obnoxiously. They were once again out of the color I wanted and so I had to have one ordered to my adress which was another hassle. The brown-haired gentleman seemed to answer every one of my questions somewhat pretentiously which was incredibly annoying. However they did not charge me for shipping since I had come to the store (that's right!).

They have to restock more frequently and need somewhat more amiable salespeople but all in all the visits were okay.

EDIT: I'm adding a star because the jacket was delivered barbour jacket sale the next day with a very kindly hand-written note thanking me for shopping at their store.  Nice details like that are always appreciated.
