I would love this cutie in my handbag. This luxurious Louis Vuitton embossed coin purse ($450) is every girls dream. It just looks a million dollars and to top it off, it's heart-shaped LV!
You can pick up one of these in three different colours (Orange Sunset, Pomme d'Amour or Amarante) with each looking more gorgeous than the other. Any one of these and I'll be a happy bunny. The golden chain has a snap hook where you can attach your keys and a wrap around zip closure with smooth leather lining. Just dazzling (Ed's note: And perfect for Valentine's Day)!

It's in store now guys! And if you don't know what I'm talking about, then what rock have you been living under? (Just kidding.) Yes, the Stephen Sprouse-inspired limited edition collection for Louis Vuitton, which I have been spouting off about for weeks, has finally hit Louis Vuitton boutiques so now you are actually able to see it all up close and personal.
It's Sprousemania at the mo, with a swish soiree taking place in New York last week to launch the collection (and hosted by the one and only Mr Marc Jacobs), while the Sprouse retrospective at the Deitch Projects has also opened over the weekend. If you're a huge fan of his work - or if you are interested to find out more about what made this man such an inspiring artist - then you may wish to check out the newly released The Stephen Sprouse Book.
If you thought you'd copped more than an eyeful of Madonna in the last set of Louis Vuitton ads released, then these new pics will possibly have you in a hands-over-eyes type scenario. Yes, the 50-year-old pop legend is legs akimbo once again and displaying lust-worthy new season LV bags on the spike of her stiletto. I can never bag on Madge, so while people are getting all worked up about her lack of clothes and telling her to "put it away", I am finding myself really in need of a pair of monogrammed undies... and of course, a leopard-print bag or two!
What do you think of Madonna's ads? Take a look at more new images after the jump and then let us know...

- Marc Jacobs on his homage to Stephen Sprouse for the new Louis Vuitton collaboration, ahead of the launch party taking place on January 8. The collection hits stores worldwide the following day.
You might still be reeling from the visual of a nude Karl Lagerfeld (even if it was just an illustration), but at least you will hopefully be a bit more prepared for the sight of Mr Marc Jacobs casually sprawled on a pink furry throw exposing more than just the newest 'It' bag - check out them tan lines!
The photo spread is set to appear in the January issue of Harper's Bazaar, to coincide with the release of the revisited Stephen Sprouse graffiti designs for Louis Vuitton. You can read more about the limited edition collection here.

From our sister fashion blog, Catwalk Queen...
Sofia Coppola has debuted her first line of handbags and shoes for Louis Vuitton. The director unveiled her special collaboration in Tokyo last week.
"To start with I wanted to make a bag for myself and then we talked about making a little capsule collection," she explained to WWD. "My friends and I are always searching for the perfect day bag. It fits all your things but isn't too big and isn't too heavy."
