Parisian Chic

CAN'T TRAVEL? CAN shop. Rekindle memories of your last French holiday, lingering on Paris' oldest bridge Pont Neuf, which also happens to sit opposite Louis Vuitton's headquarters. The label's newest iconic LV Pont 9 shoulder bag drops on May 29, so you can be the first in line to nab Nicholas Ghesquière's creation in smooth, padded calfskin leather.

The house's artistic director reinterprets the Louis Vuitton Circle - a 1930s archive logo - on both the bag's flap and strap, while adding a Monogram flowerinspired magnetic closure as a subtle ''hidden'' feature.

The Pont 9 is the first release of the LV Pont 9 leather line, but it-girls such as Alicia Vikander, Chloe Grace Moretz and Zhong Chuxi are already sporting the bag in myriad colours on their celebrated shoulders.
